The Stainless Steel KarooBraai™ V5 Mellizo™ Argentine Santa Maria Braai represents a pinnacle in outdoor braai technology,
seamlessly combining functionality with style to cater to the discerning carnivore chef.
Designed also with restaurants in mind, this Santa Maria enables culinary professionals to elevate their meat dishes.
With two rear-mounted cantilever independent grid height adjustments, interchangeable grid types,
premium stainless steel construction, and a detachable garnishing counter,
the KarooBraai™ V5 Mellizo™ is equipped to meet the demands of the modern-day braai scene.
Tailor the grilling height of each grid independently, providing unparalleled control over the cooking process.

Versatility is further emphasized through the V5 Mellizo’s interchangeable BBQ grid types.
Constructed from premium stainless steel, the V5 Mellizo™ not only boasts aesthetic appeal,
but also ensures longevity in a busy restaurant environment.
The engineering of the gantry components has been meticulously crafted for exceptional stability and performance,
ensuring that chefs can focus solely on their culinary creations without worrying about the equipment’s reliability.
Our KarooBraai™ V5 Mellizo™ features a detachable garnishing counter made of stainless steel,
offering invaluable preparation space within close reach.
This work counter is an asset at any restaurant or domestic braai area, enabling preparation of ingredients, plate dishes, or serve with minimal hassle.
Coupled with four strategically positioned basting and marinade containers,
the design ensures that all necessary ingredients are readily available during the cooking process.
This thoughtful integration allows seamless infusion of meat dishes with robust flavors, from spicy marinades to herbed oils, right at their fingertips.

Since the 1800s, the Santa Maria and Argentinian Grills have evolved!
Our KarooBraai™ modern hybrid design also features the wonderful feature of a height-adjustable classic
Argentinian V-grid tipped slightly forward, channeling excess fat to a drip tray.
Braai possibilities are increased when using a height-adjustable braai grid, and the easy touch wheel
made from marine grade stainless steel controls and allows for perfect heating control.
Just as V-Grids have been designed and tested over centuries for a specific purpose,
our grade 304 stainless steel Argentine V-Grids have sloped V-Grid segments with a front drip pan.
The V-grooves channel drippings to a catch pan to avoid flare ups.
Ideal for fatty cuts of meat and skin on chicken – ensuring impeccable searing capabilities.
Fat drippings away from the fire prevents flare-ups in non-height adjustable grills without drip trays,
whilst these very same drippings can be repurposed and used for re-basting the meat in its own juices – or discarded.
The V-groove channels all the juices from your protein into a drip pan.
Our V-Scraper tool allows for easy cleaning of drippings on the grid.
Built with 100% grade 304 stainless steel, the KarooBraai™ V-Grid and drip tray require less care and last longer.
Experience a tomahawk directly over open flames in the brasero!
The newly introduced 8mm floating design EAZYDuty Roundbar gaucha Grid is easily adjusted to the required height.
An extra large size side brasero makes this model sought after – accommodating those big campfires where stories are told.
Being a free-standing table braai model, this model can be combined with various other facilities in a large fire pit clad in fire brick.
Our KarooBraai™ Santa Maria V5 Mellizo™ ranks high in versatility for both the domestic and hospitality braai master.
This all-round stainless steel KarooBraai™ Santa Maria V5
is built to stand the heat and the rigors of hardwood fired braaiing for multiple years.
Braai Versatility & Heat Control-
If you need to adjust your temperatures quickly… that’s simply not possible with a charcoal braai.
You’re at the mercy of your grill, time, and patience!
Providing fresh flavors and juicy meat is a near-universal claim from braai manufacturers…
But with an Argentine braai, they live up to the bold claims.
What about an Argentinian outdoor braai makes for juicy meat?
It’s back to those lovely V-grids.
By funneling the juices from the meat into a drip pan… This allows you to re-baste the meat, without wasting a single drop.
Naturally, this results in a more delicious, steakhouse quality meal!
The cooking surface can be easily raised or lowered as needed.
So if you need to make adjustments fast… It’s a simple fix.

DID YOU KNOW:
Normal fire grates eventually disintegrate resulting from high temperature reached in open fires!
Strength loss (loss of temper) for steel is generally accepted to begin at about 300°C and increases rapidly after 400°C.
At 427°C, steel retains approximately 60 percent of its yield strength!
At 566°C, carbon steel only retains approximately 50 percent of its yield strength and 45% of its stiffness!
FACTS:
1.
The maximum temperature that a wood-burning fire can reach depends on
several factors, including the type of wood, airflow, and combustion conditions.
Under optimal conditions, such as sufficient airflow and dry wood,
temperatures in a wood-burning fire can typically range from 1100°C to 1200°C!
2.
* * * Grade 304 stainless steel has good resistance to oxidation in:
intermittent service up to 870°C
and in continuous service to 925°C.
3.
* * * Grade 3CR12 stainless steel exhibit scaling resistance between 600 and 750°C in the presence of air,
and between 450 and 600°C under stress environments.
The material tends to become fragile upon prolonged exposure to temperatures between 450 and 550°C
Ash Pans are for embers and ash – it is not meant to build a fire in.
Should you wish to build a fire in your ash pan, add our ember grid to your order.
Should you wish to purchase a braai without a side mounted fire starter, add our ember grid or fire starter cradle to your order.
Alternatively, use a handheld model ember maker.
Ember Grids and Fire Starter Grates have advantages – and are meant to build a fire on!
– KarooBraai™ Ember Grids are manufactured from 10mm thick grade 304 stainless steel
(View HERE: KarooBraai™ Stainless Steel Roundbar Ember Grid – Custom Pricing on Request – KarooBraai™)
– KarooBraai™ Fire Starter Cradles (grates) made from 4.5mm thick grade 3CR12 stainless steel are suitable in some instances to prepare your embers –
large aeration cutouts allow air to be drawn into the base, front and rear of the grate
(View HERE: KarooBraai™ Stainless Steel Fire Starter Grate – Custom Pricing on Request – KarooBraai™)
Consider the Benefits:
– These prolong the lifespan of your ash pan as air from beneath helps to push heat upward and away from the ash pan
– Fire gets ventilated from underneath which greatly helps to get to embers stage
– The worst contact heat from a large fire is not in contact with the ashpan for prolonged periods,
as only the embers will fall through the ember grid onto the ash pan
– 10mm round bar in grade 304 stainless steel will probably outlast the total braai
