WE BOUGHT OUR BRAAI AT SHOPRITE AT THE END OF NOVEMBER.
WE DECIDED TO GO WITH THE BMW (BRAAI MET WIELE) LIGHT, SPORT.
IT IS A LIGHTWEIGHT TYPE BUILT FOR SPEED.
ANYBODY THAT KNOWS WHEELS WILL TELL YOU, THIS IS THE SPORTS MODEL AS CAN BE SEEN BY THE MAG RIMS. 
WE HAVE HAD MANY BRAAIS ON IT & HAVE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED EVERY ONE OF THEM, SO IT MUST BE A GOOD BRAAI.
SOME NIGHTS WE HAVE A QUICKIE :)
MY BROTHER PAT IS FAMOUS FOR HIS "CHICKEN A'LA SIDE" (2 CHICKENS IN A POT SIDE BY SIDE) BUT THIS IS MY FAMOUS "HEADSTAND CHICKEN BRAAI"
SURPRISINGLY WE FOUND FROZEN SNOEK IN ONE OF THE SHOPS AND THE BRAAI HANDLED THAT VERY WELL TOO.
“FAIRY NICE, MUST BE VODKA” (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) SAID VIKTOR, THE RUSSIAN OF HIS FIRST SNOEK EXPERIENCE. 
HE BRAAIED "BREAM", THE LOCAL FISH CAUGHT IN THE RIVERS HERE. MARIANNE & I CAN'T QUITE GET THE HANG OF IT YET, BUT THEN AGAIN WE ARE MOSSELBAAI VISKOPPE & ONCE YOU USED TO THE BEST IT GETS DIFFICULT! ;)
FOR THE RECORD, WE ALSO COULD NOT GET USED TO GEELBEK.
I ADMIT THE BRAAI IS A LITTLE SMALL & I REALISE THAT THE ENTIRE BRAAI IS SMALLER THAN THE WOOD THAT WESSEL USES ON HIS BRAAI WHEN BRAAIING FOR TWO!
WE HAVE SINCE SEEN BETTER BRAAIS THAT ARE SOLD NEXT TO THE ROAD & WILL INVEST IN ONE OF THOSE AS SOON AS WE HAVE RETIRED THIS ONE.

WE BUY CHARCOAL NEXT TO THE ROAD. THE LOCALS HAVE HUGE SEMI UNDERGROUND KILNS WHERE THEY MAKE THE CHARCOAL FROM GREEN WOOD. SOMETIMES NEXT TO THE ROAD OUTSIDE LUSAKA YOU CAN SEE THE SMOULDERING SMOKE RISING FROM THE MUD KILNS.
WE BUY A BAG LIKE THIS FOR K20 000 (R30).
OR A SMALLER ONE FOR K10 000 (R15). THEY GOT AN INGENIOUS WAY OF TYING UP THE CHARCOAL WITH STRIPS OF BARK & STICKS FOR THE BIGGER BAGS & WITH BITS OF BAG FOR THE SMALLER ONES. THE STRAW ON TOP IS SO THAT IT DOES NOT FALL OUT OF THE HOLES. AS ONE GETS FURTHER AWAY FROM LUSAKA THE CHARCOAL GETS CHEAPER. WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY BRAAI WOOD FOR SALE HERE THOUGH, PITY.
THE CHARCOAL BRAAIS VERY WELL BUT I DON’T SEEM TO GET A LOT OF HEAT OUT OF IT. I’VE NEVER HAD TO PUT ON MORE CHARCOAL THOUGH.
WE HAVE SINCE BOUGHT A FLAT POT TOO AND “LOVENESS” OUR CHAR WASHES IT OUT EXPERTLY INSIDE AND OUT. THIS HAS LET US USE IT INSIDE ON THE STOVE AS WELL.
