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

[Speedster]

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

that 3x3 blitz costs the same as my gas for a season

Gas bottle and gas pipe. You will even be able to light wet rooikrans with this.

So my friend wanted to braai and was slighty in a hurry. He took his Webber, took fireligther and charcoal and start his fire. But this was not fast enough for him, so he took a fan and try to get the fire ready, but eskom stop the fan with load ****. Then the next thing was to apply some thinners. But as you know thinners tend to make a huge flame. And a huge flame send you to hospital. So his face got burnt, but he will be okay. He was in hospital for 2 days.

a few years back, at another friend's house his son open this gas thing into the fire place, then ask for matches, when he finely apply some fire to that pipe there was a huge flame. Lukily no one got heard.
And if you think of my dangerous friends, my dad caught the inlaw testing with a ligther for a gas leak. there was no leak, but he test the pipe for any leaks.

A friend of mine has a piece of pipe with one end more narrow than the other. He blows in the wider end for a similar effect.

Not as good as a bellows but much more portable for hiking trips.

How big is this pipe? And how good is your friend's blowing skills?

 

[scudsucker]

About 35cm long, 1cm diameter at the blowing end, 0.5 at the fire end. Not your kind of pipe, I'm afraid.

Gas = an appliance to cook food with.

Wood, charcoal = a less optimal but more gesellige way to cook food with...maybe, or maybe marshmallows and maybe we'll just keep it burning for a couple of hours for no good reason.

And that's why gas is not a braai. A braai is an event.

On that note. And @Pineapple Smurf you can also listen:
For whoever doesn't know, to test for a gas leak. Add some dishwashing liquid to water, paint your connections with this soapy liquid. If there's bubbles there's a leak.

Covid must be eating brains at an alarming rate. Last year you got ostracised for using briquettes today @Pineapple Smurf is promoting gas braais.
