A difficult task to narrow our favourites down to 10 with what you can make on a gas braai. An outdoor oven can literally do anything, it’s just a matter of understanding your braai, all its features, and experimenting with different methods of cooking.
Here are some of our most flavourful, some easy, and some a little more chef-y gas braai recipes! We even included dessert made right on your braai!
1. Naqiyah Mayat’s harissa chicken braai roast
This will beat any supermarket’s ready-made rotisserie chicken, hands down! Use our Rotisserie Kits on your gas braai to cook a roast like no other. We have two sizes available, make sure you purchase the correct one to fit on your braai.

4. A braai seafood feast
Made specifically on our Apex Series 4 Burner Evolution patio gas braai with Evolution Heat Plates. The braai itself is big enough to cook all your seafood at once, and the addition of the heat plates makes for low-regulated heat.

6. Jan Braai’s smash burgers
The most delicious, almost deconstructed, beef burger you will ever eat. The success of a smash burger is that the minced meat keeps its integrity while it cooks for juicier meat. Ultimately a burger that is full of flavour and texture.

9. Bertus Basson’s braaied brisket
Brisket is the first cut of meat to think of when you think of low-and-slow smoke over a few hours.

He says: “I learnt how to cook brisket from an old lady in the township Kayamandi. It is a more affordable cut of meat, slightly chewy, but very beefy.
