how to start a braai fire, asking for a friend.

Insult it all you want. But I know you wish you had one

I'm fortunate to get dry wood here. Sekelbos. I use a 3 x 3 cm piece of Blitz to light a fire.

Two words that do not go together in a sentence, gas and braai..

There is no such thing as a gas braai.. using gas to cook meat is not a braai..

fanie (RIP) the greatest fake braaier used gas in febraai and N..i month ...everyone applauded

Having an Anglo American braai-splain this to you is going to sting a little... but a braai isn't about the fuel.

Thank you Bwana
It is about cooking a meal over a hot source outdoors and having a few drinks and a good time
Not everything has to be cremated over dead trees.

Google would like to say you are wrong.

What does it mean to braai?


grill

/ (braɪ) Southern African / verb. to grill or roast (meat) over open coals.

I know I'm just about as dumb as a stump, but that where it says open coals doesn't seem like the fuel is unimportant.

Gas braai with volcanic rock is definitely a braai. Good smoke effect from the fat that burns on the rocks. Can't tell the difference between meat cooked on my chadochef vs something on a wood braai, unless they used a particularly fragrant wood. Its also extremely easy and quick so after I got my chadochef I went from braaing twice a year to weekly.

Otherwise when lighting up a wood fire I tend to go old fashioned and just use good kindling, and build it up as I was taught in scouts. A mate of mine has a modified pipe with a hole in it that he attaches to a cadac gas bottle via a hose. Turns on gas, lights it, sticks it deep in the fire, and it would light up just about anything no matter how wet. Another mate uses those plumbers gas torches for a bit. Never needed them but those two are fast. Airflow helps but I find using cardboard or a metal tray to fan it helps plenty.

Had my first campfire two weeks ago in over a decade and was reminded why I no longer enjoy those. Sinus's are haywire after all that smoke and it makes you stink to high heaven of the smoke.

Shem.

Actually what google says, without having to hunt for a definition that suits my preconceived idea, is open fire.



Not necessarily a burning stump.

Always has been....

Yeah I have to agree with you there. A braai is with wood. Einde-vannievokkenstorie.
Anything else and you are barbecuing. And this I have seen countless times in SA is the norm. And backed up by the big braaiers out there too. Only a small minority seem to disagree and prefer their gas cooking... lol.
