Cobus Reinach Joins the Chimbro Family — And So Do Some Seriously Sexy New Braais

If you felt a small tremor in the braai universe this week… don’t stress. That wasn’t an earthquake.That was Cobus Reinach officially becoming the brand ambassador for Chimbro stainless steel free-floating braai grids — and the country collectively shouting, “Ja boet, NOW we’re cooking!”

Yup, the Bok speedster himself has joined our team, and honestly, it just makes sense.Cobus is fast.Our grids heat up fast.Cobus is tough.Our stainless steel? Even tougher.Cobus performs under pressure.Our braais? They thrive on pressure… and flames… and boere who think they’re MasterChef after two beers.

It’s a match made in braai heaven.

🔥 New Chimbro Braais Breaking Out This Week

While we were busy high-fiving each other about Cobus joining the family, our workshop didn’t slow down one bit. No sir — we’ve had a week hotter than a ref’s whistle in a Bok vs All Blacks final.

Here’s what’s heading out to their new homes:

1️⃣ Stainless Steel Sleeve With Ash Drawer

This beauty isn’t just a braai sleeve… it’s a lifestyle upgrade.Stainless steel, clean lines, built like a blockbuster Bok tackle. Plus, the ash drawer keeps things tidy — because life’s too short to be scooping ash like a Victorian chimney sweep.

2️⃣ Open Slider With Embermaker & Resting Grid

If braais had positions, this one’s a versatile loose forward. It does everything:

• Embermaker? Check.

• Resting grid? Check.

• Smooth sliding action that feels like a scrumhalf pass? You bet.

This braai is so slick it might sidestep you in the backyard.

3️⃣ Our First-Ever Souvla for the Open Slider

Yes. It has arrived.The Chimbro Souvla — designed to work with our open slider.

Perfect for slow-turning lamb, chicken, or that experimental household “mystery meat” that nobody wants to claim. All we’re saying is… once you fire this up, your neighbours will suddenly find a reason to “pop by quick-quick.”

🥩 Kicking Off With Cobus

Having Cobus Reinach as our official grid ambassador feels like we’ve signed a superstar who knows exactly what South Africans want — speed, precision, and a braai grid that won’t buckle under pressure (kind of like Wales in the last 10 minutes 😏).

He’s already holding the grid like he’s about to step his way past a flank and score under the posts… but instead of tries, he’s helping us deliver perfectly grilled chops. Same energy. Same glory.

💚 So What’s the Game Plan?

Easy — we keep doing what we do best:

• Building world-class stainless steel braais

• Making South Africans proud of their outdoor cooking

• And now… doing it with a Springbok legend standing next to us, grid in hand, ready to braai like a champion

This week is huge for us — new products heading out, new partnership, new vibes.Chimbro is levelling up, boet. And you’re invited to the whole journey.
