How do you "braai"?

Laser oven

Here, this will do

One should only braai on a braai you have built yourself. The fuel that is burned is a mere means of cooking the meat, the real measure is if you have built it yourself.

Does it change the taste in any way to justify the time, expense and labour?

I personally don't care about scoring a pat on the back with myself or anyone else, I just want braai meat, don't care about putting in more effort to make it maybe 5% better...

Pine cones? Not good idea.


We've already covered that exhaustively.

Why not?

I like Grant's retro kitchen. I grew up in a home with one like that.

Wood. If you use gas, please take your handbag and leave.

MYBB got some of the biggest gatekeepers yoh.

Why not?

Don't they just burn far too quickly / something to do with the resin producing a kak smoke?

Only because idiots don't know how to cook over a pine cone fire

Man Card and all that you know

But if anything, my "mass produced" built in braai does a better job of generating and storing heat than anything I could build myself in a reasonable time frame.

This is a BBQ not a braai. It is convenient sure, and quick yes, and it has its place for sure but its not braai.

"Braai" is officially defined as grilling meat outdoors over an open fire. Whether or not the fire comes from gas, charcoal or wood is irrelevant to the definition.

 

[Stuey74]

Prefer briquets for potjie, you just keep feeding it one or two briquets at a time to regulate the temperature.

Yep, same here

With mates:- The Weber with whatever fuel is available.

Just me and the Mrs or if we are in a hurry:- Gas braai.

No real difference in the taste of the meat, but the gas braai is better at cooking alot of meat in a short time thanks to the constant, even and predictable heat. Cooking the meat perfectly, like not drying the wors out or making the steaks Grey inside is 1000% more important than the tool used to cook the meat.
