Charcoal after braaing

[atomcrusher]

In the north we use Black Wattle for "atmosfeer" and Kameeldoring or Hardekool to braai the meat.

You guys in the North are lucky that harder woods grow there. Here "innie Kaap" the wood is soft, and doesn't make great coals like hardwood does. We can buy hard woods, but it's $$$$$$ The rooikrans is probably the best indigenous hard-ish wood we can get at a good price

Those who put water on it just want a big cloud of dirty steam and to hear that roar noise...

 

[Drifter]

Now why didn't we think of that... brilliant idea!

It will have the sam negative effect. Charcoal is quite a few X hotter than boiling water.

Leave it burning and if it is still warm in the morning cook breakfast on it..... only downside is the beer I left overnight next to the braai tastes warm in the morning!
:wtf:

I always just leave it to cool down and it gets cleaned the next day.....or next week. /shrug

I've always struggled with wood. How do you get a proper wood fire going?

With a Weber I believe you can close it up so it dies of suffocation and then you can use it again next time.

Only a Scot would go to bed before finishing their beer.

I have not used wood since being a young laaitjie....but when my dad told me to get the braai going I would put some blitz down first, light it and then pack the wood in a # parttern over the blitz. Just make sure you use enough blitz.

It puts itself out.

I brought it to life, why would i kill it?

It's easy. You have to burn atleast 2 bags of wood though! Light as normal and just keep adding wood before flames dissapear.

In the good ol' days my dad used to get what they called 'ghwarriehout' sent to him by train from his brother in the De Rust/Uniondale area. Best wood I've ever used...

I pour charcoal ash onto the ground, it seems to make the grass grow nicely

NOU gaan ons braai!!

I use wattle or gum to braai after chopping them up into smaller bits. The taste is just so much better this way.

/Leave embers overnight then wash in the morning.

Leave it to burn to ash which goes into the garden.
