Going out tomorrow so did two flatties. One for now and one for tomorrow. Made a ring to make the braai grid higher for the rooster to sit flat.

Didn't braai this evening due to inclement weather. But did take my braai cover off and stich the hem up. I've taped it up twice now with Duct Tape and both times the glue became tacky and the Duct Tape came off.
If anyone in Pretoria has a Weber 57cm kettle braai Rotisserie in decent condition they aren't using and want to sell please let me know by PM. Thanks.

Admin approved.
I started a Facebook group for kettle braai's.
This group is for kettle braai/ kettle BBQ enthusiasts that is not affiliated to any brand so we can post stuff no mater what brand as long as it is kettle BBQ or kettle braai related.
This is a group for sharing Kettle BBQ / Kettle Braai tips tricks and recipes. Started because some of the groups with a specific brand name attached to them like the Weber seem to deem themselves as exclusive and there’s lots of us that have Kettle BBQ’s that are not in the major brand category.
Weber Kettle owners are more than welcome but must realise it is not a Weber specific group.
Please keep your comments friendly and not hurtful. If someone has burnt something badly please don’t be nasty. They may be a total novice and just need guidance or may actually like it that way.
No advertising of anything allowed please without Admin Permission. If someone is looking for something specifically kettle bbq related a link under comments is acceptable.
If you have had bad experiences with a brand due to quality etc. your welcome to mention it an constructive manner so others can learn from your experience. Hopefully this’ll be a friendly place we can all learn from. I am a bit of a novice myself regarding Kettle BBQ’s.
Please feel free to join and invite other like minded kettle braai enthusiasts.
Name of group.
Kettle BBQ / Braai Club (English language posts only Please.) (Weber BBQ)

Did my first trial run in the 1/4 Potjies. Smallish beef cubes, onions, potatoes, carrots, baby marrows, celary, sliced beans and we spiced to our individual liking. My wife made more of a soup than a Potjie. Mine was a properly layered Potjie. I only added gravy powder to thicken at the end, My wife added in the beginning after I suggested she didn't. Her pot had much more baked onto the bottom of the pot than mine. Only poped the pots back on the burners with water in after dishing up and used the remaining gel to heat them up. Food was delicious and more than enough for each of us. As I've got older my appetite is definitely smaller. What a lot of people do is start cooking a second Potjie once they've dished up.

This is so cool, where does one find these?

All over if you Google 1/4 Potjie. I think Checkers currently has the best prices. But it's only for the pot. Google 1/4 Potjie Stand for the stands.
With either search you'll find combos of stand and potjies.

I've always wondered why they still sell these small ones.
I wasn't aware it's a one meal pot. Always thought it would work lekka as a braai sauce pot ,but always just used the stainless saucepan thing.
How long did you're meals cook?

We were out cooking for about 1 hour 20 minutes. I improvised some wind shields and it went quicker then.

Would probably be faster on charcoal too.
I like that idea.
Gives me an idea for a family getogether . Thanks @Stew

Charcoal wouldn't really be practical siting around a table socialising. Especially on a plastic or wooden table. LOL.

I was at a social day a while back and twelve of us were cooking our potjies simultaneously.
