What We Do
"better, faster, easier"
Discover the Finest Namibian Hardwoods for Your Braai and Fireplace
At our store, we take pride in offering a selection of premium Namibian hardwoods that are perfect for your braai and fireplace needs. Our collection includes Sekelbos (Sekeldoring), Kameeldoring (Camelthorn), and Blue Gum, each known for their exceptional burning properties and unique characteristics. Whether you’re looking for wood that adds a distinctive flavor to your braai meat or wood that burns longer and hotter, we have the perfect options for you.
Sekelbos: The Versatile All-Rounder
Sekelbos, also known as Sekeldoring or Sickle Bush, is a near-perfect all-rounder. This dense and dry wood is easy to stack and pack, making it a favorite for both braai and decorative displays. Its round log shape and natural oils enhance the flavors of meat, adding a distinct bushveld aroma to your braai. With a density of 825 kg/m³, Sekelbos produces large, red-hot flames and long-lasting coals, ensuring a memorable braai experience. Additionally, Sekelbos is a sustainable choice, as its harvesting helps control the spread of this invasive species in Namibia.
Kameeldoring: The Long-Lasting Performer
Kameeldoring, or Camelthorn, stands out for its high density and long-burning qualities. With a density of 936 kg/m³, Kameeldoring pieces are larger and burn longer, making them ideal for bigger fires and maintaining consistent heat. This wood is harvested sustainably from dead trees and fallen branches, ensuring minimal environmental impact. Kameeldoring is known for imparting a slightly sweet and nutty flavor to meat, making it perfect for braaing game meats, chicken, and seafood. Its low moisture content and ease of lighting make it a versatile choice for both indoor and outdoor use.
Blue Gum: The Reliable Fireplace Wood
Blue Gum, also known as Eucalyptus globulus, is a hard, local fireplace wood that burns longer than many other types due to its density. Originally from South-eastern Australia, this popular South African firewood is ideal for closed combustion stoves, glass-fronted fireplaces, and pizza ovens. Blue Gum is prized for its chunky appearance, low moisture content, and ability to produce constant, mesmerizing flames. Despite its invasiveness and high water consumption, it remains a top choice for winter warmth and ambiance, complementing Namibian hardwoods beautifully.
