Description
Sunday lunch, a Friday night potjie or a winter fire on the patio, the Home Fires De Luxe 1000 handles all three. It is a built-in braai unit that cooks over coals, carries a pot on its hook and doubles as a fireplace to warm your entertainment area once the food is done.

Made to last
The firebox is A grade hot-rolled 3mm mild steel. If you live near the sea, ask about special order 304 stainless steel or utility stainless (3CR12). Home Fires backs it with a 15-year limited guarantee, and optional extras let you bake bread, stir-fry and smoke fish.
Is the De Luxe 1000 right for your home?
The unit measures 53.5 x 103 x 85.5 cm, weighs 146 kg and needs a 340 x 440 mm flue opening. It suits a medium patio or lapa and feeds a family with a few friends. If you want a warming drawer and spade as well, look at the Super De Luxe. Compare sizes in our built-in braais range.
Installation in Cape Town
Our built-in brick braai builders build the surround, fit the chimney and cowl for the south-easter, and seal everything against winter rain. Read our Home Fires Worcester guide or browse the Home Fires braai range.
De Luxe 1000 FAQs
Is the De Luxe 1000 a good choice among built in braais South Africa offers?
It is a local favourite because it is made in South Africa from thick steel, comes with everything you need and has a long guarantee. Spares and accessories are easy to get.
Can I use it as a fireplace in winter?
Yes. Close the lower door to its worktop position, build a fire and it warms a covered patio or lapa on cool evenings.
