We’ve put together a list of braai essentials that’ll help you host an unforgettable braai experience on Braai Day!
Must-Have Braai Essentials:
1. Braai
This is the most important element of any braai- the braai itself!
Whether it’s a built-in braai or a portable braai made from stainless steel or mild steel, you need a durable braai that can withstand any heat. The Entertainer Braai has everything you need in a braai, from a zinc plated grid, ember maker with heat shield and accessory hooks to name a few. Choose a braai that fits your needs and wants here
2. Lighter
Don’t struggle with matches to light your fire! Light away with LK’s premium range of Gas Lighters
3. Firelighters
Get any fire going in an instant with LK’s firelighters. Braaing is one of our most loved South African traditions, and now we have an environmentally friendly way to enjoy this special occasion, keeping our beautiful country clean and green. Eco-Lite’s Firelighters consists of 8 individually wrapped firelighters in biodegradable packaging, which lets you enjoy the convenience of simply lighting the wrapper.
4. Tongs
Once you have your fire going, you need LK’s famous multi-purpose red tongs to move piping hot wood/coals, and work with your meat much easier. It’s a life-saver when it comes to braaing.
Available in short-, medium-, long and extra-long, you now have a tong for every occasion.
5. Coal Scoop
Every braai master has a LK’s Coal Scoop, whether you want to add more coals under your potjie/meat or clean your braai afterwards. You can simply hang the scoop as it’s complete with a hanging loop for easier storage.
6. Potjie
Braai + Potjie= a proud South African tradition!
