Firewood delivery in Franschhoek

Franschhoek sits in a valley with mountains on three sides: the Groot Drakenstein, Franschhoek and Wemmershoek ranges. Summers here are warm and dry, and the evenings stay light long enough for a proper braai.

For the braai you want wood that leaves real coals. Kameeldoring is the one for a big braai or a long evening: it burns very hot, lasts and leaves world-class coals, and it’s bone dry, so it’s ready the day it arrives. For every other weekend there’s Black Wattle, our economical braai wood, a lot like Rooikrans. See which braai wood suits your braai.

Come winter, it’s a different valley. The rain comes in with the cold fronts, heaviest from about June to August, the nights get properly cold, and there’s sometimes snow on the peaks around town. That’s fireplace season, at home and in the valley’s many restaurants and guest houses with a fireplace to keep going.

Blue Gum, our fireplace and stove wood, burns hot and clean with minimal ash, so the morning cleanup is quick, handy when the fireplace is in a guest lounge. For a closed-combustion stove that has to see you through a cold night, Kameeldoring gives a long, very hot burn, and it’s bone dry. Our fireplace and stove wood page has the details.
