When it comes to grilling time in Nigeria and across West Africa, bold flavours and hearty portions are at the centre of every gathering. While classic grilling with basic tools brings back memories of family feasts and roadside suya, using specialised gear can elevate both the cooking experience and the final taste. Popular brands like Camp Master, Terrace Leisure, and Expert Grill offer products designed to make outdoor cooking easier, tastier, and more social—whether you’re setting up at home, hosting friends in Lagos, or taking your braai style to a beach in Accra.
Camp Master No.3 Potjie
In many Nigerian households, the art of slow cooking in cast iron is deeply appreciated, reminiscent of native pots for making soups and stews. The Camp Master No. 3 Potjie is a modern twist on that time-honoured method, with the capacity to serve up to 12 people. According to local home chef Chinedu Okeke, “A big, even-heating pot like this is perfect for jollof rice or ayamase at family get-togethers.” Pre-seasoned to resist rust and designed to distribute heat thoroughly, it’s ideal for cooking signature one-pot meals directly over hot coals at a compound party or community event.

Terrace Leisure Double-Up Charcoal Braai
Grilling for a crowd in Nigeria’s outdoor settings often means juggling space and timing. The Terrace Leisure Double-Up Charcoal Braai solves this with a design that nearly doubles your grill space with a flip of the lid and repositioning the grates. Experienced grillers in Abuja note that the two side shelves are handy for holding spices, chopping onions or keeping suya skewers warm and organized. Built to weather frequent use, it also features heavy-duty wheels for easy movement and durable cooking surfaces including a cast iron grill and a chrome-plated grid.

Terrace Leisure Braai Tong Set
Any grill master—whether you’re preparing ram suya on festive occasions in northern Nigeria or fresh fish in coastal Ghana—knows the importance of having multiple tongs at hand. This two-piece set gives both seasoned and aspiring cooks a safer, more efficient way to handle all cuts of meat. The longer tong is perfect for reaching over hot flames, while the shorter one provides precision when turning chicken wings or petite kebabs at the front of the grill. Local food blogger Ifeoma Adeyemi claims, “Good tongs are a lifesaver at big Oshodi family events, especially with smoky fires.”
