The Flame Master Grid Holder is a versatile outdoor grilling tool designed to overcome common frustrations experienced when barbecuing (or braaing, as it’s known in South Africa). It addresses problems like struggling to find a level surface for your grill, the instability of makeshift setups (using stones), preventing fat drippings from causing flare-ups and the challenge of controlling the heat and timing of cooking. It also helps with situations where coals take too long to become ready for cooking.

The holder features an adjustable design allowing it to be placed on a variety of surfaces including uneven terrain like beaches or bushveld without the need for levelling with rocks. It allows for flexibility in grilling by its design. This adaptability lets you move the grid around the fire, adjust the tilt angle and also to move it closer or further away from the fire, or the coals, depending on the heat intensity, ensuring a stable and level grilling surface no matter where you are.

The holder is designed to efficiently utilise radiant heat from flames and coals. This allows for grilling to start earlier in the fire cycle, taking advantage of initial flames for cooking while waiting for the coals to develop. Additionally, by being able to move the grid around the fire and control its tilt, you can also optimise the heat intensity for various types of cooking.

The adjustable tilt feature of the grid holder is key to preventing flare-ups. By angling the grid, the fat from cooking meat is directed away from the coals or flames. This reduces the chance of flames rising up and charring or burning the food, whilst allowing for the excess fat to drip safely away from the fire.

The Flame Master Grid Holder is exceptionally versatile and suitable for cooking various foods. It can be used for standard meat grilling (BBQ, or Braai), toasting sandwiches and everything in between. Its portability and adaptable design make it ideal for camping, off-roading, beach outings, or any outdoor setting where a stable and efficient grill is needed as well as at home. It can even be used in a group setting with up to three gridholders working around the fire.

The Flame Master Grid Holder is designed for quick and easy assembly and disassembly by hand and only takes a couple of minutes. Its lightweight (approx. 3kg), compact design and flat packaging means it can easily be transported without taking up a lot of space. This makes it a very convenient addition to camping or off-roading equipment.

The life cycle of a BBQ fire has five stages: ignition, flaming combustion, smouldering combustion, charcoal burning, and ash formation/cooling. Understanding these stages allows you to maximize the effectiveness of your grilling. The Flame Master Grid Holder enables you to efficiently utilise the heat during all of these stages, especially the radiant heat from the initial flames in the earlier stages as well as the heat from the coals in the latter stages, to provide a faster and more controlled cooking experience.

Key advantages include the ease of assembly, portability, adaptability to various terrains, efficient use of radiant heat, ability to prevent flare-ups and its all-round versatility in what can be cooked. Remember to always use gloves when handling the grid holder during the BBQ or braai to prevent burns. The overall result is a more enjoyable, successful and safe grilling experience, where you will become “the grill master”.
