Panel 1
A group of friends stand over a wide braai of grey coals in the early evening. One holds his head, another throws his hands up.
Friend: The fire’s dead!
Friend: And the chops aren’t moving!
Panel 2
The same group, out of ideas. Raw meat waits on a plate beside the grid.
Friend: We’ve tried everything.
Friend: Nobody can get this braai going.
Panel 3
Rassie steps up to the braai in a white shirt. The others turn to him.
Friend: Coach, can you save this braai?
Rassie: Let’s have a look.
Panel 4
Rassie crouches at the braai with a pair of tongs, raking the coals apart. Flames come up through them.
Rassie: Open the coals. Give it air. Spread the heat.
Panel 5
The grid is loaded and the fire is roaring. The friends cheer with their drinks in the air.
Friend: It’s working!
Friend: Now that’s a proper fire!
Panel 6
Rassie stands with the group at the full braai, a glass of brandy in his hand.
Caption: No panic. No fuss. Just the fire, the meat, and die branna.
