FAQs about the Braai Legend Combo
You get The Fire Apron and the Donkey Tong 69cm. One protects you from the fire, the other handles your food over it. Together, it's everything you need master the braai.
Leather is naturally fire-retardant, which makes it the perfect choice for working around flames. It can handle sparks and heat far better than standard fabric aprons, which can easily catch alight. However, as with all leather, just don’t leave it sitting in the fire.
The Donkey Tong 69cm is for food. The uniquely designed head flips meat without piercing or tearing it. For steaks, boerie, patties and braaibroodjies, this is your tong. Made for food over fire! For managing your flames, wood and coals, use the Donkey Long Tong 80cm.
Yes. Both items can be personalised. The Fire Apron gets custom heat pressing for an additional R300. The Donkey Tong 69cm has standard typed engraving (+R200) or a custom handwritten engraving (+R300). A great way to turn a Combo into a proper legacy gift for Father's Day, birthdays, anniversaries or corporate gifting. Contact us for any corporate gifting solutions.
We like to say “one size fits most.” The adjustable cross-back straps make it easy to fit different body types comfortably.
Yes. Both items are packaged and ready to impress on arrival. We use a special handwrapping technique that will score you some serious brownie points. Please note: the courier waybill is stuck to the outer packaging. If you're sending it directly as a gift and don't want the shipping label visible, leave us a note at checkout and we'll double wrap it for you.
It's a great one. A leather braai apron and a proper braai tong are things most braaiers wouldn't buy for themselves, but once they have them, they use them at every fire. Add personalisation and it becomes the kind of gift people keep for life.
