How delivery works

DeliveryHow it works

Because most of our products are huge, it’s difficult for us to keep stock of all of them. For this reason, we deliver a lot of our products directly from our suppliers and manufacturers, to offer you a great price and a fresh braai and a warm fireplace.

PRIORITY DELIVERYWe will make sure you are kept in the loop at every single step of the way and we will have your order processed as a priority. Tracking number included.

FREE DELIVERYLook, it’s free but we are unable to provide an exact time or take specific delivery requests as we are at the mercy of our suppliers. We still do our best to deliver as quickly as possible and in most cases we are much quicker than the stated turn around time.

Mail us for any queries.

BUILT ROUND THE FIRE

A fire in the middle.
Room all round.

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

Everyone round the fire.

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

Keep the fire going while you cook.

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.

THE GRID

Lift the grid when you need to.

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

Black or Corten.

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.

GOOD TO KNOW

Plan your setup.

Choose a level spot outdoors, with room for everyone round the plate.

What is included?

The Boma Braai in the body you choose, with a stainless-steel protective cover, a Boma scraper and grid extenders. The Boma rotisserie kit and the canvas cover are optional, sold separately.

Which fuel does it use?

Wood. It is a freestanding wood braai for outdoor use at home. Add wood through the large central opening while you cook.

How big is the cooking plate?

The plate is 850 × 850 mm on the outside and 8 mm thick. That size includes the large opening in the middle, where the fire burns, so you cook on the plate around the opening. Chad-O-Chef makes the plate 8 mm thick so that it retains and spreads the heat evenly.

What do the grid extenders do?

They raise the centre grid by 125 mm. They come with the braai.

Black mild steel or Corten: which should I choose?

Both bodies are offered: pick one on this page. Corten arrives without patina and oxidises naturally over time. Corten is built to suit coastal use.

Where can I put it?

Outdoors at home, on a level surface. It's listed at 137 kg, so choose the spot before it arrives.

How much space do I need?

The plate is 850 mm square and stands 1,017 mm high, and the pedestal is 516 mm square. Parts beyond the plate add to the overall size, so ask us for the full footprint if your space is tight.

Where do I keep the wood?

In the braai's large storage area, which takes wood and firelighters.

What extras can I add?

The Boma rotisserie kit and a canvas cover. Both are optional and sold separately. Ask us about them.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. It has an advertised 36-month Chad-O-Chef guarantee, subject to its terms. Ask us for the full terms.

Can you help me choose?

Yes. Send us a photo and measurements of your space, and we will help you choose the body and the extras.
