Where Can I Install a Built-In Braai at My Home?

As a homeowner, you want your home to be as functional and spacious as it can possibly be. If you plan to buy and install a built-in braai at your home, you need to identify the ideal location for such a unit beforehand. Luckily, Home Fires offers a plethora of built-in braai units to choose from once you decide on an ideal location for your braai.

South Africans love to braai. So, you will not only add a functional and usable appliance to your home, but you will also increase its property value with such an investment. Today, we discuss viable areas where you can install such a unit and how to choose your perfect built-in braai from our vast selection.

Where Should I Install My Braai?

Indoors: Since a built-in braai unit can be closed, it can be easily installed indoors. This will allow you to use your braai whenever you want to, no matter how the weather behaves outside. Indoor areas can include kitchens, garages, and any other room that is large enough and has access to an outer sidewall for safety and ventilation purposes. Such a unit can fit perfectly into a wall cavity that leads to a chimney.
Outdoors: Most homes in South Africa have a Lapa in the backyard. Your Lapa can be the perfect place to install your built-in braai. A patio or veranda that is covered with a roof can also be an ideal installation location. Corner units are perfect for filling up empty spaces in your backyard as well.

Which Braai Should I Buy for My Home?

Size: Once you have established where you want to install your unit, you should measure the available space. This will play a determining factor and role when choosing the perfect built-in braai for your home. You should also consider how you want to vent your unit, as you can vent it vertically through the roof or horizontally through a sidewall.
Type: Home Fires has an extensive range of built-in braai units to choose from. This ranges from the more affordable Economaster all the way through to the Combo and Super Deluxe, giving you ample choices to find exactly what you are looking for. Always consider the achievable flavour profiles before making your purchase as well.
