My next braai will have this adjustable grid. Screw those just-too-low or just-too-high

Thanks everybody for your comments. I have picked up quite a few good ideas.
Construction starts today.
The chimney will be quite high, as it has to clear the roof above my deck. I will install the extractor any way, as it is quite close to my kitchen and study, as well as to the master bedroom and lounge of the second house on my property.

Photos when it's done please.

It's done and christened...
I am very happy with the result. Saturday evening was a bit windy and a bit of smoke was blown about. Sunday was perfectly wind still and the chimney wicked 99% of the smoke away.
I still need to build a fire box and pack the bottom with fire bricks.



Saturday first use lamb chops


Sunday with new grid and grid stands. Boerie, chicken winglets and beef sosaties.

You shouldn't make fire without letting the concrete cure for at least a month. Residual moisture will cause cracks in the concrete, and it may even split and burst bricks. Highly, highly recommended to wait at least a month.

Saw this over the weekend dude used a custom made argentinian style grill, now I want one, not sure if we have them over here so will have to build one.

I love watching his channel, dude can seriously cook and his backyard with all that braai equipment is my dream backyard

The chimney outlet should be at least a third off the opening of your cook chamber.

Edit: See it's built. Looking good.
