BBQ's/Smokers

Our weekends are usually filled with some form of outdoor cooking—whether it's a traditional braai (BBQ), slow-smoking, or grilling.

We love a South African Braai! It is very similar to an Argentinian grill.  We bbq with wood and this type of braai can be custom build to your liking.  Have your entertainment/bbq space designed with your braai built against the wall.  You can use this to make “potjie”, rotisseries, bbq meats, and afterwards make a “lekker” fire to enjoy the evening with family and friends.

I love a good sosatie (kebab) on the braai or grill.  Especially a curried lamb sosatie with dried apricots and onions on.  Spicy, sweet and tasty.  When making sosaties/kebabs, always buy decent skewer sets, and also wet them before putting it on a grill or braai.

We have a little lounge corner in our patio/entertainment area.  Sometimes it is nice to just sit there enjoying a beautiful sunset with a glass of prosecco or watch the morning birds chirping around with a cuppa joe.

Yes, unfortunately we all go through winter, but that that does not stop us enjoying our patio.  Invest in a gas heater.  These are wonderful to warm up a chilly night.

Brighten up your patio seating set with some pillows.  This will make is cozy and warm.  I prefer earth tone colours, but I will have one or two pillows with more of a bold colour.
