MY BUTCHERS BLOCK-BELLOW

Ask any proud South African what is needed to make the perfect wood-burning fire – A decent Wooden Bellow! They will tell you it comes down to these three things:

• good wood,
• a decent fire starter,
• and air.

Meanwhile, the old-schoolers might never stop crouching and puffing the last breath out of their lungs to get the fire going, some of us will happily embrace the wooden bellow to do the job for us.

The beauty of how the bellow works is evident in its simplicity.

The design is for small intakes of air that expels in large outflows – ideal for delivering oxygen to a dying fire. A couple of actions from a 30cm distance is all that is needed for the right amount of oxygen to bring your fire back to life easily, without fuss. The wooden bellow is crafted with the following:

• 100% locally sourced Knysna Blackwood
• genuine leather
• metal studs
• heat-resistant brass pipe
• A leather loop for convenient hanging storage

Most importantly the Bellow is highlights as an attractive, high quality, practical and long-lasting addition to your braai kit or fireplace. Of course, the wooden bellow is not only a great braai accessory, but it is also a valuable tool for the open fireplace in the colder winter months.

The attractive My Butchers Block Wooden Bellow is a fantastic practical gift for any occasion.
