Presenting That all Time SA Favourite, The Barbecue Grill

If you had to corner a South African and ask them what makes this country great then youcan bet your bottom dollar (or Rand) that somewhere on that list a day spent under the hot summer sun with the smell of cooking meat over an open fire, the taste of sweet corn with butter and salt and a fresh potato salad are going to come into the equation somewhere. Taken together this can mean only one think, that the South African outdoor favourite, the braai – referred to non-South Africans as the barbecue grill – is still as much part of the SA national psyche as Bafana Bafana and the Springbok rugby team.

Each and every South African loves a braai, as soon as that barbecue grill is set up and the first flames begin to appear it’s time for the party to begin. Life simply wouldn’t be the same without our barbecue grill; it’s part of the scenery and can be found in almost every South African household. So it comes as no surprise that when it comes to choosing a favourite barbecue grill in South Africa the argument can get pretty heated, sometimes as heated as the braai itself.

There are those who prefer the good old fashioned wood burning fire, started with the traditional balled up pieces of newspaper and who wouldn’t be caught dead with an artificial firelighter which they claim leaves a distinct taste of petroleum by product on the meat. Some braai masters are willing to bend just a little bit and will accept briquettes and firelighters as just the price we pray for progress, their claim being that by the time you the meat hits the barbecue grill those firelighters are long gone, and the fact that you don’t have to give yourself a hernia blowing the flames to life is just a happy coincidence.

Then there are those who swear by the no mess, no fuss school of cooking and will go to the wall (literally, when the grill is built in) swearing that a gas barbecue grill allows for unprecedented control of multiple burners and thus will allow the talented chef to present his guests with piping hot food fresh off the grill.

Whatever your preference, and whatever your choice, your barbecue grill will be the centrepiece of your entertainment options for years to come so don’t make a mistake with your purchase, contact us.

Cooking With Outdoor Charcoal Grills

Outdoor charcoal grills is the ideal cooking equipment to take along on all your fishing, hiking and campingtrips. Just remember to take along enough charcoal to last the duration of your outdoor adventure. There can be nothing worse than running out of fuel for your outdoor charcoal grills when you are stuck in some remote part of the world with no access to any shops or retail outlets. In addition, you should also make sure that you have enough matches, a lighter as well as accelerants to start your fire in your outdoor charcoal grills.

Outdoor Charcoal Smokers

The most important component in selecting outdoor charcoal smokers is the lid that comes with your purchase. The lid should seal properly and cover the entire cooking area to ensure that the smoke stays inside to infuse the food you are cooking properly. However, it is important to remember that placing a lid over a fire will starve it of oxygen and it will simply die out. The lid should therefore have vents to allow air to circulate keeping your food cooking and smoking at the right temperature.

For outdoor charcoal smokers with lids that have been designed and manufactured to maximise your cooking and smoking experience, please contact us.

There is nothing like a delicious lamb chop that has been cooked over the open flames on charcoal grills. While some people prefer to use just some barbeque spices for their lamb chops on charcoal grills, others like to marinade the meat over night to make it more succulent. No matter which option you choose, it is important to ensure that the delicate meat is cooked to perfection. This means that your lam chops should not be burnt and at the same time should not be bloody inside. Ask your butcher to slice the lamb chops slightly thicker than normal to achieve the best results.

Barbeque And Grilling In And Out Of Doors

There is one major difference between a barbeque and grilling. While barbequing can only take place outdoors, grilling food can be achieved in your kitchen. You can either grill food on a griddle pan or over an open flame griller. This type of grilling limits you to the use of gas or electricity. However, wood or charcoal can be used in your outdoor barbeque to provide you with the same results except with a more smoky flavour.

Make sure that you have all the right equipment to take care of your barbeque and grilling requirements whether in or out of doors simply by contacting us.

Grill Accessories To Make Cleaning Easier

One of the most beneficial grill accessories that you can invest in for your charcoal barbeque is a tray to catch all the ash that is created. Burning charcoal and wood is a messy business and the simple addition of an ash catching tray will minimise the dirt and making cleaning much easier and efficient. Additionally, you should invest in a drip tray as part of your grill accessories. A drip tray can be set directly beneath the food on the grill to catch any marinade or grease that will drip off the food during the cooking process.

Patio BBQ Grills To Fit Your Space

Everybody wants the biggest and the best when it comes to patio BBQ grills. This is not just to show off to the neighbours but adds convenience and enjoyment to your outdoor cooking experiences. The bigger patio BBQ grills are not always the best and most suitable choice for some people and it is important to consider your won requirements when selecting a BBQ for your patio environment. One of the key factors that should play a role in your choice of patio BBQ grills is the availability of space where the BBQ will be placed.

Choosing The Right Grills For Your Barbeque

Always keep in mind that the grills on a barbeque are designed for use with the type of barbeque that you have purchased. Grills that are manufactured for use with a gas barbeque may not be compatible for use with a charcoal barbeque and vice versa. The grills for your barbeque should ideally come with your purchase and fit snuggle into the barbeque that you own. You can purchase additional grills to make your cooking experience more convenient but these should be placed on top of the grill that is standard with your barbeque.

Simply contact us to find out more about the grills for your barbeque that are currently available on the market.

The Ease Of Cleaning A Stainless BBQ Grill

One of the greatest benefits of owning a stainless BBQ grill is the ease with which you can clean this equipment. The smooth surface of a stainless BBQ grill ensures that food, grease and grime simply slide off the surface without sticking. In the likelihood that food does become burnt on to the stainless BBQ grill, some warm water and detergent with a soft cloth or sponge should efficiently wipe away the mess. In the event that the dirt does not come away easily, you can use a scrubbing brush that is designed for use with a stainless BBQ grill.

You should be able to buy a cover for your barbecue grill to give you an added measure of protection against the outdoor elements. Although there are generic barbecue grill covers available on the market, it is advisable to try and find a cover that is designed and manufactured to fit your make and model barbecue. The more snug the fit, the greater level of protection you will get from your barbecue grill cover. Whichever type of cover you choose to purchase for your barbecue grill, make sure that it has both UV and water resistant properties.

Smoker Grills For Cooking Larger Food Items

Smoker grills are ideal for cooking and grilling larger food items and meat. Smoker grills normally come with a lid which is closed to keep in the smoke and heat of a fire. This lid allows heat to be more evenly distributed meaning that food items inside the smoker grills will cook much quicker than normal. Larger food items such as roast meats, whole chickens, ducks, gammons and even turkeys can therefore be cooked succulently without burning or during out on the smoker grills.

To find out how you can use your smoker grills to cook larger food items to perfection out of doors, you can simply contact us.

You don’t have to choose small and lightweight portable grills to take along when you need to take care of your cooking requirements out of doors. There are larger models available that are collapsible or which you can disassemble to make transporting them that much more convenient. These types of portable grills come in both charcoal and gas versions that are designed to be taken along on outdoor excursions. Just remember to take along enough charcoal or gas whichever portable grill version you choose.
