Summer braais under the Rock

Paarl summers are long, hot and dry: proper braai weather, with Paarl Rock catching the last light while the coals get going.

For the braai you want wood that leaves real coals. Our Kameeldoring braai wood 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 the Rooikrans many of us grew up with. Still deciding? Here’s how to choose your braai wood.

Cold nights in the Berg River valley

Come winter it’s a different town. The cold settles into the Berg River valley at night, and the rain comes in, mostly from about May to August. That’s fireplace and stove season.

Blue Gum, our fireplace and stove wood, burns hot and clean with minimal ash, so the morning cleanup is quick. 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. There’s more on our fireplace and stove wood page.

Glass-front stove? Go easy with Kameeldoring: don’t overload the stove, use the air controls and follow your manual. It mixes well with Blue Gum.
