Braai and Chimney
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my braai chimney not draw the smoke out properly?
A built-in indoor braai may have one of several design flaws. One of the most common is incorrect internal structure ratios. The apertures of the chimney outlet and internal front must be in perfect ratio for smoke to clear out correctly. Other poor construction practices causing smoke indoors include incorrect chimney height or flue size and a too-narrow smoke chamber.
Of course, blockages occur. However, it’s unlikely for critters and birds to make a home where braai fires are a frequently indulged pastime in our braai-loving country. If you suspect a blockage, get an expert to diagnose and remedy the problem.
How high should my braai chimney be?
The chimney should be the same height as the topmost point of your roof or higher. If the chimney of your indoor braai is shorter than the house, it can cause a downdraft. A too-short braai chimney can also pose a worrisome fire hazard.
Is it better to have the braai protrude to the outside or inside of a building?
The braai must protrude internally as this will prevent any possible leaks that may occur where the braai and external wall joins. These areas might cause problems in the future.
Can I use my built-in braai as a fireplace indoors?
Yes, if your braai has a dual function structure. Your built-in braai can warm your entertainment area during the colder months if it’s equipped with a chimney damper and convection ducts.
