WhatsApp UsMORE ABOUT THE 800 DEEP
Simple, solid and ready to build in.
The 800 Deep EconoMaster does the essentials well. Build the fire in the ember maker, then rake fresh coals under the electroplated grid as you cook. Hang a potjie on the holder for something slow and switch on the light when the evening comes. The ash pan catches what falls, and the doors close up the black body when the fire is out.

A SLOW MORNING IN THE GARDEN
Chops on the coals.
Roosterkoek next.
Herbs from the garden, four chops over the coals and the roosterkoek dough waiting its turn on the counter. Built into the wall, the 800 Deep EconoMaster turns an easy morning into a proper braai, with fresh coals from the ember maker whenever the grid needs them.
The wall, counters, plants, food, bread dough and kitchen items are not included. Plan the flue and clearances with an independent installer.
A LITTLE PRACTICAL THINKING
Keep the next round ready.
THE GRID
Room for chops and a potjie.
The electroplated mild-steel grid measures 550 × 450 mm. Hang a potjie from the potjie holder for something slow while the chops cook.
THE BODY
Made from 2.5 mm mild steel.
The body is 2.5 mm mild steel with a high-heat black paint, and the braai weighs 90 kg, so plan the lift into place. Close the top and bottom doors when the braai is not in use.

GOOD TO KNOW
Plan your setup.
Read your instruction manual before you plan the installation.
What is included?
The 800 Deep EconoMaster braai in black, with top and bottom doors, an ash pan, an electroplated mild-steel grid, an ember maker, a potjie holder and a light fitting. The instruction manual comes with it. The flue pipe, collar and cowl are options on this page, sold separately.
Which fuel can I use?
Wood or charcoal. Burn wood in the ember maker and rake the fresh coals under the grid as you cook.
How much cooking space is there?
The electroplated mild-steel grid is 550 mm wide and 450 mm deep. The potjie holder takes a potjie for something slow alongside.
Is the flue included?
No. You can add a Homefires flue pipe, a collar and a cowl on this page: a fixed cowl or a rotating cowl, each with a slip-on base. A cowl helps keep rain out of the flue. Send a photo and measurements for a flue and configuration quote, and we will confirm the right parts for your setup.
Where does the flue connect?
At the neck on top of the gather, which rises 320 mm above the body. The neck measures 430 × 230 mm on the outside, and its front sits 120 mm back from the front of the body. The inside of the chimney must be at least as big as the flue outlet opening, so have your installer measure the unit before building.
How tall must the chimney be?
At least 2.5 m. If the flue must be offset, keep the angle to 45 degrees or less and use brackets so the flue does not sag. Roofs differ, so ask us about your roof, and have an independent installer plan the route.
How much space do I need?
The body is 830 mm wide and 780 mm high, and the gather rises 320 mm above it. The front frame is 885 mm wide and 810 mm high. Opened, the lower door reaches 430 mm in front of the body. Ask us to confirm the body depth before you build the opening. These are product dimensions, not a building opening; have your installer check the actual unit and safe clearances.
How is it built in?
Leave a 20 mm expansion gap between the body and the brickwork at the sides and the back. Cover the sides, back and top with fibreglass insulation, and plan it with your installer. Keep the finished brickwork from sticking out past the flange, so the top door can stay open.
Can it go indoors?
Yes. It can be installed indoors, in a well-ventilated room. Follow the instruction manual, and have an independent installer plan the chimney, the clearances and the ventilation.
How do I look after it?
Let the ash cool fully before you empty the ash pan. The ash pan measures 760 × 450 mm and is 160 mm high. Close the top and bottom doors when the braai is not in use, and keep it maintained as the instruction manual describes.
What does the guarantee cover?
The EconoMaster firebox has a 5-year Homefires guarantee against faulty workmanship or material under normal use. Loose, replaceable parts are not covered, and neither are rust, lack of maintenance, misuse, water leakage or incorrect installation. Ask us for the full terms.
Can you help with my setup?
Yes. Send a photo and measurements for a product and flue configuration quote. Arrange installation with an independent installer.
