At OZ Braai, the Compact Braai and Mini Braai are not just cooking tools—they are the culmination of over five years of dedication, innovation, and passion. We’ve meticulously designed and perfected these braais using special moulds, precision press processes, and top-of-the-art welding. We’re incredibly proud of these two models, knowing they bring a blend of tradition and craftsmanship to every outdoor cooking experience.
Our mission was simple: to create a braai that’s durable, versatile, and can help people create unforgettable moments—whether at home in the backyard or while camping in the great outdoors. These braais aren’t just about grilling; they offer an experience, designed to be your trusted companion on all your adventures.
Compact Size, Maximum Versatility
The Compact Braai and Mini Braai are built for portability and versatility. If you’re someone who loves camping, beach days, or backyard barbecues, these braais are perfect for you. Despite their compact size, they don’t sacrifice functionality or performance.
Key Features Include:
- Foldable handles: These convenient handles also serve as rotisserie bracket slots, making transport and setup a breeze. Check out our Rotisserie Kits to complete your outdoor cooking setup.
- Rotisserie compatibility: With included rotisserie brackets, you can easily attach your rotisserie system to roast whole chickens, lamb, or pork roasts with ease.
- Adjustable grid system: Whether you’re slow-cooking meats or grilling veggies, the adjustable grid height lets you control heat levels for perfect results every time.
For adventurers, the Compact Braai measures 500mm in diameter and weighs 15kg, while the Mini Braai, at 390mm in diameter and 12kg, is ideal for solo trips or more intimate gatherings.
Built to Last
When you’re cooking outdoors, durability is key. Both the Compact Braai and Mini Braai are constructed from 100% 304 stainless steel, making them rust-resistant and tough enough to withstand any conditions. Stainless steel ensures that these braais are not only functional but also long-lasting.
Despite the solid construction, the Compact Braai weighs only 14kg—light enough to take anywhere. The Mini Braai, even more portable, offers all the functionality with added ease of transport. Both models come with a convenient carry bag to make travelling with your braai effortless.
Rotisserie Capability for Perfect Roasting
A feature that sets the Compact Braai and Mini Braai apart is their rotisserie capability. Want to impress your guests with a perfectly roasted chicken or experiment with a leg of lamb? These braais make it simple. The foldable handles double as a rotisserie bracket slot, allowing you to effortlessly attach a rotisserie system.
The adjustable rotisserie height is key to ensuring your meat cooks evenly, giving you tender, juicy results every time. Whether you’re at home or out camping, you’ll amaze everyone with the quality of food you can prepare. For tips on how to achieve the perfect roast, check out our Braai Techniques guide.
Perfect for Any Meal
Both the Compact Braai and Mini Braai are designed to handle a variety of cooking tasks. Whether you’re searing a steak or grilling vegetables, their adjustable grid system lets you manage the cooking process with ease. Need to fine-tune the heat? No problem—the grid height can be easily adjusted for precise cooking.
In the mood for something simple? Both braais also transform into a cozy firepit, ideal for roasting marshmallows or just enjoying the warmth of a fire on a chilly evening. Read more about creating the perfect outdoor cooking atmosphere in our Ultimate Braai Party Guide.
A Beautiful Firepit
Beyond their functionality, the Compact Braai and Mini Braai can be used as stunning firepits. After your meal, simply remove the grid and enjoy the warmth of a firepit. The stainless steel design creates a stylish centrepiece that adds a touch of elegance to any outdoor setting.
Using your braai as a firepit extends its utility, making it more than just a cooking tool. It becomes a focal point for gathering and creating memorable moments with family and friends. Discover how to choose the right braai for your needs by exploring our Braai Comparison Guide.

Both models share many great features, but there are key differences that may influence your decision:
