Homage Grill was Custom Manufactured to be a Slide In Counter Top Unit. Consequently there is no fire box on this one due to being fed from the pizza oven nearby. As always full Stainless Steel Construction and Phosphor Bronze Bushes. In addition to its Chain Ratchet Mechanism she is a true beauty. We intentionally moved the wheels to the outside edge to make her fill the space nicely. Coupled with the Custom Billet Wheels. She truly did make a statement.
Wood Fired Grill Company, CEO and Floor Sweeper. Did I mention Blogger? Well that would be me. Hi, my name is Matthew and this is my Wood Fired Grill Company.
The Design for your Grill is very important. If you are willing to spend the money on a Grill make sure it is the right design for your application. Do you want your Wood Fired Grill to be over the top and make a big statement? This is good for fast food places where you are looking for a big impact. Going with a big center fire cradle with a big logo embedded.
You may however, want to keep it simple, with clean lines and a minimalist approach. You can drop the fire cradle altogether. However your Grill will be able to cook big volumes for long periods of time without a good coal source.
Your Wood Fired Grill Fire Cradle is the crackling heart of your Grill. In addition, shape is a major factor. You want to keep it as narrow as possible but still aesthetically pleasing as well as fit a log or two on it. You must understand, the wider your box the more wood you will burn. Burning too much wood is burning money. Above all, you don’t want to burn unnecessary money. For a larger firebox use height and length where possible.
Ah Yes, this becomes a touchy subject doesn’t it? Purists say use only wood and that is the only way. However lets be honest this is not always the most practical way to achieve your final product.
Wood Fired Grills are built for cooking with wood. Firstly their quick wheeled Grid Movements are perfect for regulating heat from a wood fire. Secondly feeding coals from our fire cradle is suited to wood all the way. On the other hand If you are cooking with a pot on the coals then charcoal and briquettes may be your better option. Most Importantly we are trying to achieve a perfect final product and in this instance a constant lower source of heat is optimum.
As for the wood types, go for a hard wood type that will hold its coal for a long period of time. This should also burn clean as possible. I personally in commercial environments go for Rooikrans or Kameeldoring. They Are cost effective and readily available in South Africa.
I personally hope this has been helpful. As always remember your time is precious. So use it wisely sitting around a fire with those you love. #LoveOfFire
Architectural Wood Fired Grills by Woodfired Grill Company are ahead of the trend with regards to Wood Fired Equipment. We intend to bring the #LoveOfFire into the hearts and homes of all South Africans and then take it to the world one fire at a time.
Our Architectural Systems are proving to be the newest trend in South Africa. Despite what we see in the 2019 food trends which are moving to a more conscientious approach. Including a more vegetarian and vegan based diet and moving away from meat. Certainly wood fired grills should therefore be dropping off? Personally we feel at Woodfired Grill Company that boiled vegetables, for lack of any other word “suck”. Don’t get us wrong we love our vegetables. Consequently you may be pleasantly surprised at how many vegetables can be grilled and the vast improvement it can make.
Woodfired Grill Company with Architectural wood fired grills hope to close the gap between a good old fashioned BBQ and modern architectural beauty. Our approach is to first understand the space and the needs of our client. Secondly, we take a base design that is best suited to each client. These may be, to name just a few:
In addition we then customise our clients grill with all the little important things such as Logos etc and add a few small tweaks to make it their own.
Thank you for your time in reading this post. We understand your time is precious. So use it wisely and enjoy sitting around a fire with those you love. #LoveOfFire

Wood Fired Grills are at the core of what we do here at Wood Fired Grill Company. Our Journey begins with our sheer love of fire #loveoffire.

Your mind drifts away, thoughts lapping one over the other, as your body settles, like the falling embers in the fire.
Back to the matter at hand, what is a Wood Fired Grill and where does it come from? For the most part, this type of cooking is from Argentinian descent. Starting with the introduction of cattle in about the 1500’s by the Spanish. With this, came the Argentine Cowboy’s or Gaucho’s. For the vast majority they were of Italian heritage. Apologies for being stereotypical, however where there are Italians you will always find good food. Lets be honest the two go hand in hand. Consequently These Gauchos were the main influences on what is locally called Asado. The Grilling of meat over an open fire. A delicate balance of red hot coals and fire wood to create just the right smoky flavor.
South Africa has its routes in fire in much the same way, with the Boer or Voortrekkers. A group of Dutch settlers who moved across Southern Africa. This created whats now known as the Braai. The ultimate South African pastime.
Wood Fired Grills bring all the heritage, history and love of fire together with the modern twist; To create the ultimate Wood Fired experience. Wood Fired Grill Company does this by using simple minimalist architecture for our construction. see more details about this on our Specs Page.
This Brings us to the end of this post. Thanks for reading. Now to enjoy a Braai, Asado, BBQ no matter what you call it. Do it for the love of fire but above all do it with the people you love.
The Built-In Restaurant Grill with a Rear Fire Cradle. We customised the narrow grids to make it functional due to only a small area being available. We fitted the ratchet systems through the wall. The customer received a DIY kit and we created, crated and shipped our kit specifically for the customer. Consequently the customer was able to install the grill themselves assisted by their builder. As always we manufactured this grill with only the highest quality materials including 304 Stainless Steel, Brass and Aluminium. Coupled with excellent workmanship which resulted in a beautiful high end piece of equipment. All fittings and fixtures were also 304 Stainless Steel.

This Grill was built into place for the for the home owner; Onto a concrete slab with a fire brick base and firebrick sides.
