Jembe Stoep – Smokeless Braai With All Accessories

Due to the design of fire pits, the smoke is almost completely eliminated. When the fire is started smoke will be emitted for 5 to 10 minutes whereafter the fire will be almost 100% smokeless.

How does it work?

Smoke is an organic material that was not burned off during the first combustion. The fire pits are designed to create a second combustion which burns the remaining smoke off resulting in a smokeless fire.

First Combustion

Airflow from the bottom of the Fire Pit enables consistent oxygen feed to the fire. This results in the first combustion. The JEMBE is designed to supply maximum oxygen to the fire even after ash has built up at the bottom of the fire pit.

Second combustion

The Fire Pit incorporates a double wall construction. Air enters at the bottom between the two walls. This air is heated up by the fire. The heated air rises and squirts through the holes at the top of the inside cylinder providing fresh oxygen to the fire. The heated oxygen causes a secondary combustion resulting in the smoke being burned off.

The fire will emit smoke until the air is heated sufficiently to create the second combustion. This takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes depending on how the fire is built and the material used. From the moment the second combustion starts, the fire remains smokeless as long as the fire is fed with sufficient wood.

Braai culture

The JEMBE braai experience is extremely entertaining and social. As the name suggests the JEMBE results in “people coming together to gather”. The JEMBE experience is to sit around the fire, watching the coals and flames whilst the food is being prepared. The braai master is part of the social gathering and is not sweating it out on his own.

The JEMBE comes with a host of accessories, Braaigrid, Potjieholder, Rotisserie, Asado (Argentinian angled braai), all made of 316 Stainless Steel. These accessories can be used on the various JEMBE fire pits. The variety of meals you can cook and braai on the JEMBE is endless.

Our pizza oven and a few more accessories are being designed and will be made available soon.

The JEMBE is more than just a braai. It is also a fire pit that produces heat to warm you. It's the equivalent of a Boma fire but without the smoke. No more smoking musical chairs!

With a separate stand, the JEMBE accessories can be used without the JEMBE fire pit, in your existing braai or when you go camping.

Safety

The JEMBE smokeless fire pit is designed for outdoor use only. Never use your JEMBE in an enclosed area.

The JEMBE is designed to be used on most surfaces. The bottom of the firepit is 150 mm off the surface on which it will be used.

It can safely be used on a wooden deck for example. Care must however be taken with the surfaces the JEMBE is placed on. It is advised that you test the JEMBE on a piece of the material on which you intend to use it before you fire it up on potential heat-sensitive materials.

The fire pit and accessories will become hot when in use. To avoid burns use protective gear such as gloves at all times when you touch the JEMBE or the accessories. Wait until the JEMBE has cooled down before it is stored or placed near heat-sensitive materials. When using the JEMBE do not leave it unattended, especially in high wind conditions and when children and pets are present.
