If you’re South African, you already know one thing: a braai is not just a way to cook food… it’s practically a national sport. It’s where stories get told, where friendships are tested over who burnt the wors, and where someone inevitably says, “Nee man, that fire needs more wood.”
At Chimbro, we believe a braai should work as hard as the braaier. That’s why our built-in braais are designed to handle everything from a quick Tuesday chop to a full Saturday rugby feast with friends, family, neighbours, and that one guy who always arrives “just to say hi” but somehow stays until dessert.
The Dual Setup Built-In Braai – The Braai That Means Business
Let’s start with the big one.
Our dual setup built-in braai is for the serious braai enthusiast — the one who knows exactly how many seconds a steak must rest before cutting it.
On the one side you’ve got our Glide Master roll-up system, giving you smooth height adjustment so you can control your heat like a true braai maestro.
On the other side you’ve got our stainless steel grid bracket setup — simple, reliable, and perfect for extra grid space when the guest list suddenly doubles after the smell of firewood hits the neighbourhood.
And underneath? That’s where things get clever.
Our stainless steel V-shaped coal tray is designed to concentrate your heat perfectly while also housing a built-in pizza oven. Yes, you read that right. One minute you're braaing steaks, the next you're pulling out a crispy wood-fired pizza like some kind of backyard Italian chef.
Braai on the one side. Pizza on the other.Multitasking the South African way.
Our Standard Built-In Braais – Simple, Strong, Legendary
Not everyone needs the full braai command centre — sometimes you just want a solid, reliable built-in braai that will outlive your patio furniture, your garden gnome, and possibly your bakkie.
Our standard built-in braais are built with the same Chimbro attention to detail and can be manufactured in:
Stainless steel for the ultimate premium finish and durability
Mild steel for a robust and cost-effective option
They come with the essentials every proper braai needs — a strong frame, clever airflow, and our signature braai grid setup that keeps the meat exactly where it belongs: over the coals.
Standard Sizes… or Built Exactly for Your Braai Cave
Every braai area is different. Some people have a neat patio braai nook. Others have what can only be described as a braai stadium.
That’s why we offer both:
Standard sizes for easy installations
Custom sizes built specifically to fit your space
Whether it’s a small family braai corner or a full entertainment area where the Springbok game will be watched loudly, we can build a braai that fits perfectly.
Built for South African Braai Culture
At Chimbro we don’t just build braais — we build the centrepiece of your entertainment area.
Because a proper built-in braai should:
Look beautiful in your patio or boma
Handle serious heat
Feed a crowd without complaining
And most importantly… make you look like a braai legend
🔥 So whether you want a simple built-in braai or the full dual-setup braai beast with Glide Master, grid brackets and a pizza oven — Chimbro has you covered.
Because at the end of the day, a braai isn’t just cooking.
It’s wood smoke, good friends, cold drinks, and the smell of meat on the fire.
And that… is the real South African way.
