The braai system that glides smoother than a oke at a wedding after 3 brandies.
At Chimbro, we’ve always believed one thing:a braai shouldn’t just work… it should perform.
And that’s exactly why we created our robust Roll-Up Braai with the Glide Master system — a braai that doesn’t just sit there looking pretty. This one moves with purpose, adjusts like a dream, and adapts to whatever you want to throw on the fire.
Because let’s be honest… some weekends you’re flipping wors, and other weekends you’re feeding 18 people and someone arrives with a full lamb leg like it’s normal.
What is the Glide Master system?
The Glide Master is Chimbro’s smooth, strong and reliable roll-up height-adjustment system designed for serious braaiers.
Instead of fighting with stiff chains, uneven hooks, or dodgy “lift and pray” methods, the Glide Master gives you:
✅ Smooth gliding height adjustment✅ Easy control over the heat✅ Strong, robust build quality✅ A clean, open, modern look
It’s engineered for one purpose:to make braaing easier, cleaner, and more enjoyable — every time.
Robust. Built for real South Africans.
This isn’t a braai made for display in a showroom.
This is a braai built for:
🔥 the guy who cooks with one hand and holds a beer in the other🔥 the family who braais every Sunday without fail🔥 the “just one more chop” crew🔥 the people who demand proper firepower
Chimbro braais are designed to handle heat, weight, weather, and weekend warfare.
Versatile by design
What makes the Glide Master Roll-Up special is how much control it gives you.
You can roll the system up for:
slow cooking
heat management
keeping meat warm
resting / holding
smoke & sizzle control
And roll it down for:
direct heat searing
real flame action
proper boerewors “snap”
steak with attitude
In short:you become the braai master, not the fire.
Modular = One system… many braais
Now here’s where it gets lekker.
The Glide Master system is modular, meaning it can be built to accept interchangeable attachments and cooking setups.
So today you’re braaing chops…
Tomorrow you’re running:
🍕 a pizza oven module
🍗 a spitbraai attachment
🥘 a potjie hook setup
🥩 a steak pan / plancha style plate
🥓 an asada-style grill module
🍤 and more custom options depending on your setup
That means you’re not buying another braai every time you want to braai something different…
You’re simply upgrading the same system.
Custom sizes? Of course.
Your braai area isn’t “standard size.”
Neither is your vibe.
That’s why our Glide Master Roll-Up Braais can be:
✅ built in various sizes✅ designed for built-in braai areas, bomas, patios, or custom installations✅ configured with embermakers, grids, trays, shelves and more✅ fabricated in premium stainless steel options
Your space + your needs = your Glide Master.
Why Chimbro?
Because you’re not buying a cheap braai.You’re investing in something that lasts.
Chimbro is about:
engineering + craft
proper materials
real durability
clean design
South African pride
We don’t sell braais that “will do.”We build braais that make people talk.
Final word
The Chimbro Glide Master Roll-Up Braai is built for those who love fire, flavour, and a proper South African lifestyle.
It’s robust.It’s versatile.It’s modular.It’s custom-built.
And it glides smoother than a Springbok backline on match day. 😉
