🔥 From Then to Now: The Evolution of the Chimbro Braai

If there’s one thing South Africans don’t mess around with… it’s a braai.

At Chimbro, we’ve taken that sacred tradition and given it a serious glow-up. From our humble beginnings with simple, hardworking braai sleeves to the fully loaded, modular roll-up systems we build today — this is the story of where we started… and where we’re going.

🛠️ The Classics – Where It All Began

Every great braai story starts with the basics.

4

Our standard braai sleeves with grids were built for one thing: reliability.

Simple. Strong. No nonsense.

• Stainless steel or mild steel options

• Fixed or removable grid setups

• Designed to fit standard openings

• Built to handle years of weekend fires

These are the braais that built the reputation — proper braais that just work.

🔩 The Underrated Hero – Bracket Sets with Grids

Before things got fancy… there was a clever solution that changed everything.

4

Our stainless steel bracket sets with free-floating grids are the unsung heroes of braai versatility.

Minimal setup. Maximum function.

• Wall-mounted bracket system

• Adjustable grid heights

• Premium stainless steel 304 grids

• Perfect for upgrading existing braais

• Available in standard and custom sizes

This is where many customers realise… you don’t need to rebuild your braai — you just need to upgrade it.

It’s simple. It’s clever. And it works like a charm.

🔥 Turning Up the Heat – Open Sliders

Then came the next step… a little more control, a little more flair.

4

Our open slider systems introduced adjustability to the game.

Now you’re not just braaiing — you’re managing heat like a pro.

• Adjustable grid heights for perfect cooking control

• Optional embermakers for consistent coals

• Available in standard sizes or fully custom builds

• Clean, modern look with serious functionality

Because let’s be honest — “hou hom bietjie hoër” is not a strategy… it’s a gamble.

🧱 Built-In Beauties – The Full Setup

Then things started getting serious.

4

Our built-in braais brought everything together into one seamless experience.

This is where design meets performance.

• Dual setups (grid + slider + bracket combinations)

• Stainless steel (3CR12, 304 or 316) or mild steel options

• V-shaped coal trays with pizza oven integration

• Ash drawers, storage, and custom layouts

• Designed to fit your space — not the other way around

From simple to fully loaded — and everything in between.

🚀 The New Era – Roll-Ups & Glide Masters

And then… we changed the game completely.

4

Our roll-ups and Glide Master systems are the future of braaiing.

Fully modular. Fully customizable. Fully Chimbro.

• Single or dual roll-up systems

• Interchangeable cooking options:

  • Asada

  • Souvla (Ubuntu spit)

  • Paella pans

  • Traditional grids

• Embermaker integration

• Precision height control

• Built in standard sizes or custom to your exact specs

This is where a braai becomes an experience.
