Homefires 1200 Super Deluxe Spit Built-in Braai

The 1200 Super Deluxe Spit braai in black 3 mm mild steel, with a heavy-duty spit motor in its motor box, a stainless-steel spit arm and a single slide-in door. It comes with a cooking grid and grid lifters, an ember maker, an ash pan, an ash drawer and a warming drawer, a potjie holder, a light fitting, a spade and a poker, plus insulation material and touch-up paint. The flue pipe, collar and cowl are optional extras.

Yes. The heavy-duty spit motor and its motor box come with the braai, together with a stainless-steel spit arm. It is a totally enclosed 60 W, 220 V AC motor with its own cooling fan, and a reduction gearbox turns the spit at about 4 rpm. The motor sits in its own 305 mm wide compartment at the left of the braai section.

Yes. Get an electrician to install an electrical point for the spit motor and to connect the light fitting to a switch before your first roast. Plan this with your installer when you plan the brick opening.

Wood or charcoal. Burn wood in the ember maker and rake the fresh coals under the spit or the grid as you cook.

The cooking grid is 950 mm wide, and grid lifters come with it. If you need the grid depth for your planning, ask us before you order. The potjie holder takes a potjie, and the warming drawer keeps the first round warm.

No. The flue pipe, collar and cowl are optional extras for the 350 × 500 flue size: add them on this page. You can choose a rotating cowl or a large fixed cowl, both slip-on. Send a photo and measurements for a flue and configuration quote, and we will confirm the right parts for your setup.

At the flue outlet on top of the gather. The outlet is 500 mm wide and 350 mm deep, and the gather rises 320 mm above the body. The manual gives 2.5 m as the minimum chimney height and allows a flue offset of at most 45 degrees; ask us before you plan an offset, and ask about the right height for your roof. Have an independent installer plan the flue route and support.

The complete front is 1,655 mm wide, spit motor compartment included, and the front frame is 920 mm high. The braai section is 1,225 mm wide and the motor compartment 305 mm. The body is 890 mm high, or 1,210 mm with the gather. Opened, the lower door reaches 300 mm in front of the body. Ask us to confirm the body depth before you build.

Start with the instruction manual. These are product dimensions, not a brick opening. Homefires asks for a 20 mm expansion gap between the sides and back of the braai and the brickwork, and insulation material comes with the braai. Ask us for the body depth, and have an independent installer plan the opening, flue and safe clearances from the actual unit.

Touch-up paint comes with the braai, so you can refresh small marks on the black finish. Let the ash cool fully before you empty the ash pan and ash drawer.

Homefires guarantees the firebox for 15 years against defective workmanship or material under normal use. Replaceable parts such as the spit motor, the grid, the ember maker and the ash pan are not covered. Ask us for the full terms.

Yes. Send a photo and measurements for a product and flue configuration quote. Arrange installation with an independent installer, and the electrical point and light switch with an electrician.
