I think there are still a few to come.

This little guy has been a workhorse, never seen so much action in its life!

Tempted to get a coal Weber (specials on Takealot today) but I think I should go gas... The smaller Q100/200 models are appealing.

Gas is convenient, but it's got nothing on a real braai. But that's just me :D

no its most people

like some say wood is better than brickets as well ...i hardly taste the difference cause most mix coal and wood

but gas braai is ease ..and mr pot if you want to start a fire every night get a gas

if you want to sit and watch the fire burn get that webber ...good price

braai to me is not a way of cooking food
it's much more than that
it's a social event of which the product is food
even when i braai alone, it's like a mini holiday from the normal mundane of everyday life

Well I guess it's just about having enough cooking time in the juices of the stew to break down the tough cuts.

Not sure I follow then.. What you're describing is braising.

It's the initial searing step to brown the meat that he said was unnecessary.

It's not necessary, but it builds flavour in the finished dish, not necessarily the actual meat.

yeah true ...but i would also love a gas braai for when i come home late from work and want food quick

a braai for a fri-sun is perfect ..just sit outside with the fire

braai the meat and then eat

Hm I've always thought of braising as including the searing step of the meat. So yea sorry for the confusion.

Yes that's the general idea and that's what he was challenging.

Does one have to use a dry red wine when cooking meat or could a natural sweet red wine work as well?

Try it and tell us.

Although, sweet wines may caramalize too much, too easily, given it a burnt taste.

Think it depends what you're cooking. Generally follow the closest recommendation of the recipe. A sweeter red would go better with chicken or pork for instance.
 
Just had salad for supper, and a bowl of popcorn while watching a movie. Feeling a bit sick. Think I'm coming down with flu.
