Why BBQ’ing with wood is good
These are just some of the benefits of using braai wood for your BBQ:

Eco-friendly
Our premium Rooikrans, Sekelbos and Kameeldoring hardwoods are completely natural fuel sources. Sourced sustainably from invasive bush-clearing projects, our wood is naturally sun-dried and split into clean logs, free from the chemical binding agents found in standard charcoal.

Easy to Light
Getting a legendary fire started is simple. When using our ultra-dry, sun-baked African logs, all it takes is a handful of kindling, a single natural firelighter, and the strike of a match to establish a clean flame. It takes a little practice to master, but the reward is worth it.

Burns longer
Dense African hardwoods naturally outlast standard fuels, making them perfect for large cuts of meat. While typical supermarket charcoal fizzles out in thirty minutes, our heavy logs burn intensely for over an hour, creating a massive, reliable bed of long-lasting embers.

Brings the flavour
Incredible wood-fired flavor is achieved through the organic compounds released in clean, aromatic smoke, which beautifully infuses your meats and vegetables on the grill. Different wood varieties offer entirely distinct, gourmet taste profiles.

Intense Heat Output
Premium, dense hardwoods generate a massive volume of radiant heat. Because our sun-baked logs burn significantly hotter than standard fuel, they are perfect for searing steaks or keeping guests warm around the hearth on chilly evenings.

Complete Versatility
From smoking and grilling on an open fire to fueling garden pits and outdoor fireplaces, our wood handles it all. Indoors, varieties like Kameeldoring offer a spectacular alternative to traditional logs, supplying unmatched warmth and burn time.
