A braai is the South African tradition of grilling meat over wood or charcoal. Progress Group manufactures built-in, freestanding, stainless steel, gas and portable braais suited to homes, patios and entertainment areas across South Africa.

How much does a built-in braai cost in South Africa?

Built-in braais start from around R6,000 for a compact stainless-steel unit and range up to R25,000+ for premium 1200 mm+ enclosed models. Installation is quoted separately based on flue length and site access.

Do you install braais in Cape Town and the Western Cape?

Yes. Progress Group installs braais across Cape Town, Bellville, Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Somerset West, the West Coast and Breede Valley — with a 5-year warranty (excluding lighting).

What is the best braai for a small patio?

For small patios we recommend a 900 mm stainless-steel built-in braai or a gas braai with a side-mounted bottle — both give full grilling capacity with a compact footprint and are safe for enclosed spaces when flued correctly.
