As a small but dynamic business, Kiwibraai's emphasis is on having happy customers and we go out of our way to achieve this.
Cowl Options
While a standard cowl comes with a Kiwibraai, we do offer other options. 1/. Static cowl. This sits neatly on top of the flue, lessening the chance of rain going down the flue when the braai is not in use. Manufactured specifically for areas that get rain without wind. POA 2/. Static cowl with spark arrestor. Originally developed for Central Otago, it is also ideal in dry or crop farming areas to give peace of mind. Flue Options
Included with your Braai is a standard round flue, consisting of 2 x 1200mm lengths of Hi-temp sprayed stainless steel. We are also able to provide custom flues to suit build-in situations e.g. where the flue is to go through a roof cavity. POA Where can I see a Braai?
You can view a Braai (by arrangement) at our base in North Canterbury.
You can also view at: Valley Brewing Company, 3 Gualter Road, Gapes Valley, Geraldine Hotel Montreal, 363 Montreal St, Christchurch. Casual and Country, Ferrymead, Christchurch The Queenstown Boatshed Cafe & Bistro @ Frankton Marina. Please contact us for viewing in other areas in NZ. |
Product InformationKiwibraais are manufactured in South African and are supplied nationwide out of Christchurch. While we prefer to maintain reasonable stock levels, sometimes it's just not possible so if you are considering purchasing a Kiwibraai at some stage in the future e.g. maybe for a new house build and/ or landscape project that is taking place, we recommend contacting us early to ensure we can supply within your time frame.

POTJIE POTS
A potjie is essentially a Dutch oven, brought to South Africa and spread through the country by the Voortrekkers. It’s used throughout Africa by many different cultures: in Lesotho, some call it the Maloti Mountain microwave and it’s also known by its African name, the phutu pot. Made of cast iron, it’s the most versatile cooking vessel in Africa. Whether you’re making bread, desserts or stews, you can do it all in a potjie. It’s the quintessential, outdoor cook’s all-in-one pot. In general, use a flat-bottomed pot to make breads and a three-legged round-bottomed pot for potjies and soups.
Cleaning your pot
If your pot is new or hasn’t been used for a few months, put it over a big fire and heat it until piping hot, then wipe it thoroughly. Add chunks of fat and let them melt, then smear grease all over the inside. Wipe with kitchen towel or newspaper and your pot is ready to use. Remember that potjies hate soap. When you’ve finished cooking, simply wipe it thoroughly and then fill it with hot water and boil. Pour out the water and wipe it again. Then, just as when the pot was new, add fat and let it melt, then smear the grease around. If you look after your pot, you’ll have a cooking and camping companion for life.
Where and when
Potjie is normally cooked in the great outdoors over a slow fire. Potjie pots aren’t fussy, so you can use charcoal. Generally, once the pot is heated, it needs only the occasional log or coal to keep it on the go. Potjies need slow cooking, so be prepared to invest some time. Once you’re totally familiar with your pot, you’ll begin to recognise the potjie-pot whisper – it’s a sure sign of good food on the way.
Tip: Putting coals on the lid ensures that thorough heating (and grilling) is taking place. This is especially important when making bread.
