Description
For big gatherings, the Home Fires Super De Luxe Spit handles it all at once: a leg of lamb turning on the rotisserie, a potjie on the hook and chops over the grid. It is the largest and heaviest braai in the Home Fires range, made in South Africa, and our team builds it into your entertainment area or braai room.
Home Fires Super De Luxe Spit Built-in Braai Features
A spit that turns on its own
The nickel-plated spit arm is driven by a heavy duty motor box, with a two way switch and plug point built into the unit. Meat that turns slowly cooks evenly and stays juicy. If you have wanted a built in braai with rotisserie for Sunday roasts, this is the model to look at.
An ember maker that keeps the coals coming
The movable ember maker has you braaiing within about 15 minutes and keeps feeding fresh coals for the whole evening. You can shift it to suit the accessory you are cooking with. It burns wood or charcoal, so a charcoal spit braai is as easy as a wood fire.
Everything on board
- Full-length grid with adjustable heights, plus grid lifters
- Warming drawer to keep food hot
- Potjie hook for traditional potjiekos
- Spade, poker, ash pan and ash drawer
- 220V light fitting for evening braais
- Top and bottom doors, with the lower door doubling as a worktop
Heavy steel, built to last
The firebox is A grade hot-rolled 3mm mild steel. If you live near the sea, Home Fires can build it in 304 stainless or 3Cr12 steel instead, at extra cost. The braai weighs 306 kg and measures 64.5 x 195.5 x 135.5 cm, with a 500 x 600 mm flue opening on top. Optional extras let you bake bread, stir-fry and smoke fish or meat.
Is the Super De Luxe Spit right for your home?
This is a built-in wood braai for a dedicated braai room or a large covered patio with room for a chimney breast. At almost two metres wide it suits families who host often and cook for a crowd. You can also run it as a fire only, so it warms an indoor entertainment area in winter. If space is tighter, compare our other built-in braais.
Installation in Cape Town
Our braai builders in Cape Town build the brick surround, fit the insulation supplied with the braai and install a flue and cowl sized for the 500 x 600 mm outlet, so the smoke draws well even when the south-easter is pumping. See the full Home Fires range or read our Home Fires buying guide.
Super De Luxe Spit FAQs
What comes with the Super De Luxe Spit?
Besides the braai, spit arm, motor box, ember maker, grid and tools, the box also holds insulation for the build, a tin of touch-up paint, the manual and your guarantee paperwork. Extra cooking accessories are available separately.
What guarantee does the Home Fires spit braai carry?
Home Fires backs it with a 15-year limited guarantee, which says a lot about the weight of the steel and the build. Keep your certificate safe and follow the care notes in the manual.
Can I order it in stainless steel?
Yes. The standard firebox is 3mm mild steel, but Home Fires will make it from 304 stainless or 3Cr12 to order, for an added fee. We suggest it for homes close to the sea, where salt air is hard on steel.
