There are braais…There are serious braais…And then there’s Cobus Reinach’s custom Chimbro Glide Master — a unit so loaded, it basically needs its own passport.
This isn’t just the biggest Glide Master we’ve built to date…This is what happens when “just one more feature” gets said about 47 times in a row.
Built Bigger. Built Better. Built for Cobus.
When Cobus came to us, the brief was simple:
“Let’s build something proper.”
And by “proper,” we mean:
Custom-built to fit his exact braai dimensions
Fully modular (because one cooking style is never enough)
And packed with every Chimbro trick in the book
The result? A monster Glide Master system that turns any braai into a full-on outdoor cooking playground.
One Braai. Every Cooking Style. No Excuses.
This isn’t just a braai… it’s a multi-tool for fire.
🔥 The Ubuntu Spit (Souvla) – Precision Meets Power
Now this is where things get seriously interesting…
This isn’t your typical whole-lamb spit setup — this is a Ubuntu Souvla system, designed for versatility, control, and serious capacity.
4 heavy-duty skewers
Handles up to 35kg of meat
Perfect for chicken, lamb cuts, pork, beef — all rotating evenly over the coals
This setup gives you:
Better control over different cuts of meat
Even cooking across multiple skewers
That unbeatable, slow-rotation flavour without needing a full animal on the spit
In other words…You’re not limited to one big piece — you’re running a full-on braai production line.
🔥 The Asada Setup
Raise it, drop it, finesse the heat — perfect for those who take their fire control very seriously (you know who you are).
🔥 The Paella Pan
Because sometimes you’re not in the mood for chops… sometimes it’s seafood, rice, and showing off.
🔥 Interchangeable Glide Master Grids
Swap, slide, adjust — the system is designed so you’re never stuck with one way of cooking.
Everything runs on the Glide Master system, meaning:
Smooth height adjustment
Easy swapping of attachments
Clean, sleek operation
No struggling. No nonsense. Just proper braai engineering.
Custom Fit = Next Level Finish
This wasn’t a “make it fit” job…This was a precision-built, custom installation designed specifically for Cobus’s braai setup.
Every measurement. Every bracket. Every moving part.
Built to sit perfectly in his space — like it was always meant to be there.
The Real Question: What Can’t It Do?
Let’s be honest…
With this setup, Cobus can:
Do different cuts of meat on skewers
Grill steaks like a pro
Drop a paella that makes people emotional
Switch setups mid-braai just to show off
All on one system.
At this point, the only thing it doesn’t do is clean itself…(We’re working on it… maybe 😂)
Why This Matters (And Why Everyone Wants One Now)
This build shows exactly what the Chimbro Glide Master is about:
Modularity – One system, endless options
Customisation – Built to your space, your style
Durability – Proper materials, built to last
Experience – Because braaiing should never be boring
Final Thoughts: Cobus, We Hope You’re Hungry
This isn’t just our biggest Glide Master…It’s one of our proudest builds.
Cobus now has a setup that can handle anything you throw at it — from a quiet Sunday braai to a full-blown rugby-day feast.
And if we’re being honest…We’re all just waiting for that invite 😏🔥
Thinking of Going Big?
If Cobus’s build got your wheels turning…
We do:
Standard Glide Master units
Fully custom builds
Modular add-ons (souvla, asada, spitbraai, paella, and more)
Built for your space. Built for your style. Built to braai properly.
