THE PLATE
Thick plate, open centre.
The 8 mm thick cooking plate retains and spreads the heat evenly, and the large opening in the middle holds the fire. Feed in more wood whenever the fire needs it, and keep cooking on the plate around it.

Gather round the fire and cook on the plate right beside it.

WhatsApp UsBUILT ROUND THE FIRE
Build a wood fire in the centre and cook on the 8 mm plate around it, which retains and spreads the heat evenly. The large central opening lets you add wood without stopping, and the grid extenders lift the centre grid 125 mm when you want it higher. Keep wood and firelighters in the large storage area. A stainless-steel protective cover comes with it.
SUNDOWNERS BY THE WATER
The sun sinks over the water, a fresh log goes on the fire and the steaks sizzle on the hot plate. With the fire in the middle, nobody is stuck behind the braai: everyone stands round, drink in hand, and keeps an eye on their own steak.
The deck chairs, side table, cushions, rug, drinks, food and firewood are not included.
A LITTLE PRACTICAL THINKING
THE PLATE
The 8 mm thick cooking plate retains and spreads the heat evenly, and the large opening in the middle holds the fire. Feed in more wood whenever the fire needs it, and keep cooking on the plate around it.
THE GRID
The grid extenders come with the braai and raise the centre grid by 125 mm, so you can set the grid higher above the fire.
THE STEEL
Choose black mild steel or Corten on this page. Corten arrives without patina and oxidises naturally over time, and it's built to suit coastal use.
MEASURE THE WHOLE SETUP
Leave room round the plate.
The plate is 850 mm square on the outside and stands 1,017 mm high, on a 516 mm square pedestal. Parts beyond the plate add to the overall footprint, so ask us for the full size before you plan a tight spot.
