Braai & BBQ Stories Episode 1 - Braai Basics on how to build a Fire & Braai (BBQ)chops to perfection

- With braai stories the aim is to reach out to the world, showcasing this great cooking tradition some South Africans enjoy several times a week with South Africa 's beautiful climate. I also want to reach out to youngsters and people who may lack confidence to braai and perhaps help in my humble way, to make the world a better place. If you braai and can braai properly, the world becomes a joy like no other. Join me around the fire on a journey as we braai together and share some stories. Braai and stories go hand in hand. South Africa's version of the BBQ is called BRAAI and what makes it different is that we mostly braai, using wood, as opposed to gas. Braais are known for good times with lots of jolly laugher, banter and joy. Today I show people how a fire is built and how we braai the humble chop to perfection... every time. I also share a couple of stories on my past and where I come from and why I believe myself to be skilled around the braai.

I love how us as South African's are so passionate about braai. As the Youngest my brother and father used to braai and never trusted me to braai. So I am only learning now as an adult through this video to braai.
Wow! I am so glad I can help. Braai is a part of life and indeed something we need to be passionate about. A part of life for us.
As a South African living in Portugal I feel very much homesick. I haven't had a nice lekker braai in 3 years. Good braai skills Sir
Thank you sir. I wish I could invite you over for a lekker braai.
Most South African’s are born with tongs in our hands and you are right, braai is in our blood. Thanks for you video. Karoo lamb is the best.
Adrian Gardiner you are indeed correct. We are indeed born with them tongs in our hands and the braai smoke in our noses.
This guy is so wholesome. How can you not love him? Great stories my man.
Hey man, you make feel so humble. Thanks for your positive words. If you enjoy stories you may also like stories in all other Braai Story videos like the one here th-cam.com/video/LwIq6ecy9QE/w-d-xo.html

Omar Aljbory you will love it buddy. Cause you asked I listened. Watch out for episode 2 in a week or 2.
I love coming back to these videos (time and time again). I am a South African living in Australia. I left SA when I was 31 and I'm now 42. I miss home so much, but these videos just make me happy! Thank you Kosmeester Kortes! You're a genuine legend.
its not Afrikaners only ...but South African Men regardless of your heritage . Braaing is an instution, a science, an art and a right of passage from been a boy to becoming a man .I was Born in Johannesburg from Italian Parents ...and there is no other way to Identify South Africans overseas ...we will always be at the braai and been the Braai Master .......Thanks for your Video and thanks for making me proud to be a South African .. moenie vergeet di pap en sous asseblief chomma 💯💪🤙
Thanks for the tip! Will definitely work on a pap and sous version soon. Keep an eye on a very nice series I plan soon. You are going to eat yourself ‘dik’ with some to follow soon.
Dankie bra can't wait .....might as well braai tonight .....can't help myself . Keep up the good work ..
Being able to build a proper braai fire is an essential skill that all South African men must master
You are so very right. I recently made one in an even more back to basics style on my Karoo and Kalahari Cuisine series but then that video was a flop with too much wind noise. Take a look at that series over the next month as I upload. I am sure you will like it.
I'm in south Africa,Afrikaans is my 11th language,I love you
Thanks so much for your compliments and support
Lekka broer

@@kosmeesterkortes I am curious can you understand what I wrote!!. Because're languages has many similarities !!.
@@tjeerdoosinga9932 , I certainly can. Afrikaans, Vlaams en Hollands, almal baie dieselfe. (Very similar languages). All people lovely to get along with as well.
A great video- thank you! I'm from New Zealand but I often make biltong and peppermint tart. My next endeavour will be to have a go at Braai cooking.
Be warned! You will love it and might get hooked.

Kortes jy is die ou, die process is so baie maaklik en simple.. Dankie.
Fantastic video!

Baie baie dankie my maat.
Only a huge pleasure.
Daai braai lyk moer lekker. Sit hier in Duitsland en smag na n lekker houtvuur braai. Dankie vir n nice video.
Reuse plesier
Baie mooi gedoen!!!! I always braai with coals and firelighters from spar but your technique is leka old school. Dankie
😀. Old school can be fun. Normally goes hand in hand with some smoke when you light that fire, reminding you that you are about to BRAAI.😋
My Foxterier Kortes nooit gedink ek gaan jou op die tube sien nie. Mooi man
Hahaha, nice!
11,000 views! Doing something right!
Definitely. Wonder…
Thank you sir 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really enjoyed this as a South African, despite of my SA Classification!
Lekker swaer, sommer lekker!!!👍😁
I enjoyed this very much learned more about braaing 🔥💯👌🏾
Glad I could help.
Meesterlik gedoen. Well done, chef!
Thank you so much.
60k... well done.
Thank you!
Shout out. ❤ 🇿🇦
Looks delicious...more videos in english please.
Thank You. I will aim to please. Interestingly I get many more views on my Afrikaans ones. Feel free to share some ideas for english. I will continue with braai stories, although only once in a while.
Great video, thanks! As a novice wood braai’er… I really struggle to maintain heat from the wood, almost as if I wait too long before getting the meat on. Takes a lot of practice to get it right!
Vrek van die honger vir so n vleisie...
Friends, friends, friends... 😆😉 Dankie vir die How To, Kortes! Ek is 'n vrou, en het nog nooit in my lewe gebraai nie. Nou net Weskus toe getrek (Paternoster se kant) van Centurion af, en as jy nie hier in die Weskus braai nie, lewe jy nie. Man of vrou. What I appreciate most about your video is showing us how to braai using wood, not briquettes/charcoal. Wood definitely gives the meat a special taste, which is what braaing is about. Keep these videos coming. I, for one, will definitely keep watching.
This is delightful news Sanet. Thanks for your support my friend 😉
❤❤❤❤
Kortes ek love jou videos en suiwer Afrikaans! Baie refreshing. Eet met jou hande as jy chops eet! Gooi suurlemoen sap oor net voor jy bedien anders raak dit bitter oor die vuur, en laastens moenie die braai bak helemal toe maak as jy die vleis afgehaal het nie, dit stoom verder gaarder. Love you stuff broer! Moenie ophou nie! Hierdie is authentic content! Jy is 'n great presenter en jou vrou ken haar storie agter die kamera! Groete!
Baie dankie vd lieflike komplimente. Ek waardeer dit.
Freshly chopped rosemary sprinkled on lamb chops BEFORE braaiing will enhance the flavour amazingly
I know. I am a super big fan of that.
Friends lol!
Kortes my broe,
I'm gonna buy meat and charcoal right now.
Im so inspired. I feel like a pro after watching you. 💯
Thanks. That’s the spirit.
@meira, keep me posted on the outcome.
Charcoal????
❤
Im a tamil guy from south africa , we bbq but with plenty spice .
Haha lekker man! Wouldn't have been right without that Afrikaans stukkie at the end lol
You know it! After a few reds mistakes can easily slip through😂
Bru you call me freind so many times, I feel like I am really your friend now. 😅
12:55 watching this from Manchester UK...those chops look lekker..can i use black pepper instead of white pepper..thank you
Black pepper will also be a huge hit as well. I grew up with white pepper and only became accustomed to black pepper much later in life. For that reason, I often use white pepper, although black pepper remains most used.
My last braai was on Dec 24, 2015. Then I had to hear people whine in 2020. I watched that other braai show, yet they braaied only once. What stupidity. I loved watching this. I rate men by how they build a fire and braai.
Scrapes the coals with tongs, then turns the meat with the same tongs. Adds a bit of crunch to the meat, I suppose. LOL
Its a man’s world out here.😂
Thank u for making the video in English
A braai is when you can use the same tongs for the coals and the meat. I saw a guy moving heat beads once and then straight to the meat 😄 crunch crunch crunch 😑
Lol. That guy probably had a few to many brandies with coke.😅😂😂
English is a universal language my bru
Have you built your grill yourself or can you buy those ? Looks very solid and handy
It is indeed very handy. I had it custom made and decided to invest for life by having this made from marine grade 316 stainless steel. Not perfect yet, but indeed very robust with minimal wear despite the heat.
So basically the w sauce . Salt and white pepper is how to do it right?
That is the basic way we spice most lamb tjoppies when we braai! Be careful with the white pepper it can be potent.
@@theresastrauss5795 ok. I Will like to try this week. What other seasoning can I use for full flavour?
I saw some meat spice there but he did not use it
@@theresastrauss5795 so whats the not basic way ?
Probeer "how to..." in jou titels. Mooi kykersgetalle! Amper by n 1000. Werk hom!
Baie dankie, hierdie is ‘n meesterlike idee. Sal vir seker daaraan aandag gee.
How do you know when it’s time to turn the near?
Fantastic! My lady has never enjoyed a Braii before (Not really a thing in the UK!) and I came looking for some advice when i stumbled on your videos. Great presentation and I am totally borrowing/stealing your technique for starting your wood coals. I have made my own boerewors in the past - any ideas for a British man looking to impress his friends??
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Truly appreciated .
Have a look at the Karoo and Kalahari making your own sausage recipe!!!
Also from Kosmeester Kortes
Seems like you had a great time with ya dad
Thank you for doing this. I live in Worcestershire near where the sauce was made. Please forgive the question but what is a “pokey” ? Also I’d like to learn more about how to braai. I’m a real foodie over here.
Hello, thanks for the support. I will do a ‘potjie’ real soon. A potjie is like a stew we make on the fire in a cast iron pot used by africans. I also pln to share most of my content in both english and afrikaans. This way foodies like you can do a variety of awesome SA foods
@@kosmeesterkortes Hi, thanks. I’m trying to learn Afrikaans anyway so here’s good practice 😂
sorry if I missed it in the video but is there any type of wood specific for Braii? In BBQ where I am from I prefer pecan wood for smoking just wondering what the traditional method is?
Here in South Africa we have various woods which is good for braai like the camel thorn used in video. Certain woods may provide coals that causes a bad taste to the meat when braaied on the coals, for example blue gum. Good characteristics for braai wood, is wood that provides long lasting coals which also creates a nice flavour to the meat being braaied. Wood like the camel thorn used in video, provide good coals for a braai, but is not good for smoking. For smoking pecan, beechwood, etc. remain a better choice.
@@kosmeesterkortes thanks super interesting
Still love your content! Can you do a video about boerewors? And your take on them? Please?!?
I am going to post a hunter’s sausage later this week and within the next two months another boerwors idea.
You are THE MAN good sir. I do south east Texas bbq. Usually about four days a week. I have four different smokers. Your method and the way you season your meats and your genuine good nature attitude has brought my love of cooking to the next level. And I am officially addicted to South African cuisine…. Thank you sir. Keep posting. Your a rock star
I am having a hard time locating your braai spice. Do you distribute in the US? If not , what is the best way for me to get a few containers of it?
@@stevenbox3725 wow man. Thanks for searching and the interest. Parcels are super expensive to ship over to the US, but we are in process to do some research for you. I sell these tins for about $6.50 this side. If you see some business opportunity let me know.
Can anyone type out the name of the wood? This video brings back great memories of SA. We would attend many Braiis and the guests went out of their way to speak English at first, but as the Klipdrift and Coke flowed, they all went back to Afrikaans😊😊. Some of the most fun we have ever had with the best food!
This wood is Kameeldoring Wood and directly translated means camelthorn wood. Super awesome with a great smell. Oh yes, and when the Klipdrift and Coke begins to flow one forgets how to speak English and goes into default mode. (totally unexplainable). LOL.
They are advising against steel/wire brush
The fat on those Karoo lamb chops looks taaaaaaaasty!!
Only have daughters lol.
Legend. Did you see the joke bit at end of video?
Its Kosmeester’s wife here…. “only have daughters” comment 🤔 a bit unnecessary Kosmeester 🤭 what would your girls think about this when they watch this one day 🤭
