THE FIRE

The fire is your most important part of a good braai. You need lots of hot coals so make sure you have enough wood!! To start the fire use the driest wood you can find. I find thornwood and wattle are the best to braai on but that is all relative to your area. Big is always better so stack your fire properly before you light it and even add some more once it is lit.
Depending on when you want to braai and how much meat you have to tan, will tell you how much wood to use. If you are making a fire for a bit of ambiance first don't make it to big. Just get a good size fire going and keep adding wood to it when it starts burning down. If you just making fire to braai straight away, I suggest stacking the with all the wood you are going to use. Then still add a few logs after it's lit.

This is a good sized fire to start with
