Willem's masterpiece

Lazy Man's Braai

A braai grid with a winch, built into your braai place. Wind it up for a slow, gentle heat (just right for braaibroodjies), or drop it down to sear and flame-grill. You control the fire without moving the coals.

Every braaier is unique and made to fit your braai space.

How the winch works

Wind it up

Further from the coals for a slow braai, or to keep food warm.

Drop it down

Close to the coals when you want that sear on a steak.

Made to fit

Send me the measurements and a photo of your braai place.

Die Piesang Braai

This is one of my favourite builds, because of who I built it for. The owner of Die Piesang Braai came to me as a client and today is a friend. That's what this work means to me: people come first, and so often the people I build for become friends.
