Damned fool South African team used to braai on the ice down South, regardless of the cold. Beer was placed around the edge of the grill (fire in split 200 litre oil drum.) to keep it at a drinkable temperature and only bite sized pieces of meat were cut off the chunk on the grill, to be consumed immediately to avoid freezing it solid in -25 deg C temperatures. Military angle was use of SAAF Pumas to ferry folks and supplies around when the SA Babbelas was in town once a year.
