The Iconic Taste of a Cape Town Braai

Ask anyone from the Western Cape what their go-to braai wood is, and the answer is almost always Rooikrans (Acacia cyclops). It is, without a doubt, the most popular and culturally significant firewood used along the South African coastline.

Originally introduced to Cape Town from Australia in the 1800s to help stabilize coastal sand dunes, the Rooikrans tree spread aggressively. Today, it is classified as a serious invasive species that actively threatens the unique biodiversity of the Table Mountain ecosystem and the surrounding native Mountain Fynbos.

By purchasing this wood, you are doing more than just fuelling an incredible barbecue. You are directly supporting vital environmental clearing programs that eradicate this invasive pest from the Cape Provinces, allowing indigenous plant life to recover and thrive.

Fast Lighting, Exceptional Flavour

🔥 Quick to Coal, Ready to Cook Unlike ultra-dense woods like Mopane that take hours to break down, Rooikrans is prized for its speed and convenience. It is a fast-lighting hardwood that catches easily and produces a perfect, glowing bed of coals in approximately 40 minutes. It gives you the ideal amount of time to crack open a drink, catch up with family around the fire, and transition straight into cooking.

🍖 Signature Smoky Aroma Once the coals are ready, Rooikrans provides a steady, reliable grilling heat for up to an hour. As your food cooks, the wood releases a sweet, distinctively smoky aroma that naturally enhances the flavour of steaks, chops, and traditional boerewors.

Need a lighter bag for a quick weekend braai? We also offer Rooikrans in convenient 10kg Bags and 20kg Bags.

Woodsure Ready to Burn Certified

A great braai can be ruined by damp wood that spits, hisses, and produces thick, acrid smoke.

Our imported Rooikrans firewood is fully accredited with the UK’s official Ready to Burn certification via Woodsure. This guarantees that our wood is strictly monitored and stored with a moisture content of less than 20%.

This low moisture level ensures a clean, highly efficient burn. It allows the wood to light faster, burn hotter, and protect your braai equipment and the environment from unnecessary smoke and creosote buildup.
