The Beast Has Landed: Cobus Reinach’s Custom Glide Master (And Yes… It Does Everything)

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.
