If you live in bright and sunny Southern Africa then you will most likely understand just how much the South Africa folks adore a good braai. The smell of barbecued beef is usually as mouth-watering to their palate as a symphony would be to the ears of a music expert. What is more, braai areas can be quite convivial spots and sometimes turn into a heart of the dwelling. For these points alone, a well-appointed braai spot is a must.
However, if you are planning on constructing a braai area there are a couple of other things you might like to take into account in the process. First of all, it is important to get the placement and ventilation of braai areas right because both these aspects could quite possibly destroy the fun of the braai experience if they are not correctly managed. Braai areas may be casual meaning that you take a transportable braai and place it someplace in your backyard or built-in as part of an outdoor patio wall-structure, for example. In any event, you’ll want your braai location to be covered in some manner throughout the summer either by means of a shady tree or a lapa and also to be sheltered from the wind in the winter.
What’s more, take care not to place your braai area in a place where it could annoy the next door neighbours in terms of smoke and noise. It could be annoying for your poor next door neighbours, and also strain the neighbourly relationship, to be exposed to noise and clouds of foul smelling smoke wafting across the garden wall and in through the open windows of their homes. Hence it would be wise to construct your braai area in a well-ventilated place that does not form part of a border wall structure when possible. Likewise, make sure to install a proper chimney in built-in braai areas on patios to ensure the smoke from the grill is directed away from your friends and relatives.
Lastly, something else to think about with regard to braai areas is positioning in relation to serving area. You do not want your braai area to be too far away from the serving area and it’s also advisable to have a place on which to rest serving dishes and braai implements while you are doing the braaing.
