braai solution/ideas
I am very interested to find out what you guys use on trips, when there is no braai facilties at the campsite,
is there something off the shelf one can buy that fits into a ammo crate and can handle a wood fire,
I got one of those cheap braai's from checkers that you fit the legs but geeze its just a pain to find space etc when packing it.
Or im looking at getting one made

Bosveld frikkie braai looks good, but bit on the flimsy/small side.

Re: braai solution/ideas
buddie of mine made me one out of stainless steel when he was still working with it.
custom size to fit in bakkie... until someone affirmative shopped it from the backyard
maybe a solution is to have it made with SS, but not going to be cheapest. It will last forever though... just don't leave it in that yard

that looks good, does the legs swing out or do you have to undo them?

Re: braai solution/ideas
When you lift up the braai the legs fall out and you put it inside the case.
The lid can act as a wind shield,table or frying pan

Re: braai solution/ideas
George there once was a 4x4 speciality store, think it was called 4x4Direct ... it used to have a steel braai that fits in an ammo box.
My neighbour still has it in his ammo box after many trips and many fires. Heading to Namibia and Botswana shortly.

Anyone know where else to get hold of the ultimate mobile braai? Have not heard of Brights...
Thanks,

Re: braai solution/ideas
Michael I also looked on their website ....
seems they no longer stock it. Bought it about 2 or 3 years back. At the time most of the camping stores stocked the same thing.
Basically a nice braai with removable feet. The feet goes inside the braai, with a bit of braai wood, then the complete set fits into an ammo box.
4x4Direct also stocked a collapsible stainless steel braai, at that time. Saw this same braai at the Getaway expo, and various similar products ... About 3 or 4 different braai stands at the expo ...

Re: braai solution/ideas
Thanks Chris.
I was hoping to make the show but I am working and in Iraq. I was hoping I would find something online. These are the joys of working away from home and missing out on expos. I finally made it to Huntex Cape this year, I have been working away for the previous 4 years and always seem to miss the decent expos.

Re: braai solution/ideas
Morning all
Braai at camping sites can be a pain even if there are builded braai's,they are normally in the wrong places and when you use them the wind blows everything full of smoke etc.
I like to move my braai to where it works the best,smoke free from the tents etc.I have these braai's in stainless and they work great.
It folds down,grid can adjust,wooden fire xan be made and grid can be hanged over once coals are ready.
All in all it works for me
Size of grid 530 x 370mm
Folded down,it only 65mm hight x 530 x 370.

big enough to pack a proper fire - which is normally the problem with these fold away types.
but HEAVY, and too large to into an ammo box. In fact, too big to fit comfortably in Elders so it is on the pile of hopefull ideas ...

Re: braai solution/ideas
Ons is so paar jaar terug sleg uitgevang op n lang naweek - kom laat aan by die kamp terrein.
Van die braai dromme is stukkend, dus meer kampeerders as dromme .... en daar sit ons op n Vrydagaand sonder n braai drom.
Ek het later een van die air-con gas-silinders gesny - die onderste stuk afgesny, seker so 15cm diep. Te klein vir n lekker vuur, maar in n noodgeval kan mens n klein vuurtjie maak, of sommer net n handvol charcoal aansteek. Ten minste sal daar kole wees vir die vleis. Die outjie is weg saam met Elders.
Ek het nou een van daai goedkoop opvou braais wat jy by OutdoorWharehouse koop. Sou dit nie met elke kamp wou gebruik nie. Maar ek gaan nie weer sonder n braai sit nie

Re: braai solution/ideas
I use a washing machine drum with a SS grid on top.
It travels in the back of my vehicle in a weber cover to keep everything around it clean.
My left over wood gets stored inside the drum when travelling.
I even use it on the existing built braai in a campsite.
The sides keep the heat in and you have less problems when the wind is blowing.
Works for me.

Re: braai solution/ideas
I have two of Heinz's Stainless braai's (Metallian).
They are about the size of a ammo box, but don't fit inside a ammo box.
I also had a canvas cover made.
Another idea is to get an old jerry can, and introduce it to your grinder ...

Re: braai solution/ideas
i also make use of a washing machine drum. it works extremely well, but no stand. it is possible to fit a piece of metal to the holes near the top for a stand
