ABOUT LET’S BRAAI
At Let’s Braai, we have a passion for braaing (also known as BBQ’ing).
We love the atmosphere around a braai and imagine you do too! By the way, our daughters who are 8 and 4-year-old absolutely love braaing too. We started using braai wood a few years ago and fell in love straight away with the whole experience, the aromas, and the flavours that braai wood brings to braai meat. We decided we would like to bring this South African braai experience to the UK, which can only make your grilled meat better!
BRAAI OR BBQ?
So what’s the difference?
Obviously, the major difference between braai and BBQ is the fire! A braai, traditionally, uses wood as fuel. When you braai, fire remains open throughout the cooking period of the braai and people gather around a burning stove to eat and spends much of the day or night here.
If you are new to the South African braai grill thing here in the UK, we really hope you have, or make some Southern African friends along the way that will take you under their wing and show you, our ways. When you do experience a braai with your Southern African friends, be sure to take it all in. The togetherness, the ambience as well as being able to socialise with people you like around the fire.
IT ISN’T (JUST) COOKING…
It’s a whole new experience
The wonderful smell of sosaties, boerewors and braaibroodjies, infused with the spicy aromas of firewood. Sound of crackling firewood whilst eating biltong and droewors, family and friends gather around the fire, more drinking until the early hours…
Come rain or shine South Africans braai any time of the day, and every braai experience is unique.
If you are South African and you are lighting your fire with our wood, you will be transported back in time to that happy place, great memory of a braai experience you had.

HOW IS OUR WOOD SOURCED?
All our wood is from the Southern Africa region sourced using sustainable methods.
Our Kameeldoring and Sekelbos wood grow best in deserts and savannas like the Kalahari and wood is taken from the branches that fall from the trees due to their heavyweight. They then dry naturally in the hot African sun and cut into logs.
Another very dry and dense Southern African braai wood is Mopane. Our wood is also taken from dead branches that fall from the trees, then the wood is baked by the African sun.
Rooikrans, also known as Coastal Wattle, is one of the most widespread invasive species in South Africa, especially the Western Cape where it is found in the low land fynbos areas. It remains a firm favourite among South African households.
