Experience the Tradition of Braai
A braai (pronounced “bry”) is much more than cooking; it's a cherished southern African tradition where friends and family gather around an open fire to enjoy delicious, smoky flavors in a warm, social atmosphere. Unlike a standard barbecue, a braai emphasizes cooking over wood fires with specific wood types chosen for their unique flavors and steady heat. Our premium selection of braai wood brings this authentic experience to Northern Ireland, making it easy to recreate these flavors at home.
