The Official Braai Thread

Oven is busted in new gaff, so whilst I wait for a replacement, I'm Grilling every day.

I didn't bother with our old rental, but really enjoying a beer and my grill every evening

Sounds like fun.

Yeah - it's fun popping to the shops and deciding what to buy/drink

We will braai as often as possible over the festive season.

What method did you use to cook so much? More than one whole chicken on rotisseries? Drum braais?

We braai in dromme. It was about 260 thighs. Cant use a fancy sauce (at home I like a sweet and spice spare sauce for chicken) only a standard sauce with lemon and aromat. The secret was to use slow coals. We used two drums to make fire and two drums for braai. Used a spade to spread the coals for the constant heat needed. It took about two hours to get it done.

My wife is busy renovating most of our downstairs. After building the braai room she just carried on into the kitchen and renovated that. The bonus for me has been the casual lounge which is my spot for watching the rugby. I pulled out the braai in that room and converted it into a fireplace. At least they are still busy with it. Just got to lay the firebricks and finishing off. With the cold setting in I am looking forward to lying my weary old body on the couch with the telly on and a fire in the fireplace.
