Every fire has its wood

Some woods are built for a long, slow firepit; others light fast for a quick braai. Here's how each of ours burns so you can pick the right one.

Kameeldoring hardwood
The hardwood king

Kameeldoring

Exceptionally hard and dense. Burns slow and intensely hot with very little smoke or spark, and gives off a distinct, almost musky aroma. Our top pick for braais, grilling and firepits.

Slow burnHigh heatLow smoke
Rooikrans firewood
Aromatic favourite

Rooikrans

A dense, durable hardwood with high energy content for sustained heat. Releases a pleasant, aromatic smoke that adds a wonderful smoky flavour to your food.

Sekelbos firewood
Southern African native

Sekelbos

A sought-after local hardwood that burns slowly and efficiently — high heat with minimal smoke and a pleasant aroma. Ideal for braais and just as good in the fireplace.

Blue Gum (Bloekom) firewood
Bloekom

Blue Gum

A dense hardwood with intense heat and quick ignition, plus a long burn time and eucalyptus aroma. Popular for fireplaces and pizza ovens — and a great-value choice for a good kuiervuur.

Black Wattle firewood
The easy-going one

Black Wattle

A slightly milder, softer wood that lights easily and burns quickly with a mild, pleasant aroma. A favourite for braais, fireplaces, or simply a relaxed kuiervuur.

Meet PJ van Zyl

PJ is a typical South African with a deep love of our traditions. After more than thirty years building a name for himself in sales, he set out to sell a product he could source himself — so he could stand behind every load and still negotiate a fair price.

Being hands-on in the business, Wood on Winery is about more than good wood. It's consistent, friendly service to the Helderberg and surrounding areas — the kind that keeps people coming back, season after season.

"Good quality wood, great service, every single time."
