Top tip on the wood burner! American pit masters often have a separate barrel cooker set full of wood to make the coals. My eventual plan for my dream outdoor kitchen is an Argentinian-style asado grill with a brasero - basically a fire basket for burning the wood and feeding a constant supply of coals. Like this one which has what they call an 'ember maker'.
My aunt and uncle lived in Jo'burg for many years and I keep asking them and my cousins (who all live over here in the UK now) to give me a few masterclass lessons in proper braai (basically hoping for an invitation!). Still waiting so I started trying to learn by myself.
Being slightly cheeky, but: hou aan kook! I hope Google translate hasn't given me 'I am a cock' in Afrikaans!
