Black Wattle Wood Cape Town

Black Wattle wood comes from Acacia mearnsii, a fast-growing Australian wattle now well established in South Africa. It grows rapidly in the Western Cape and nearly every other province. It is moderately dense and easy to split; it lights and catches way faster than the heavier African hardwoods and delivers stable heat along with useful cooking coals. This balance makes Black Wattle a practical all-rounder for weekday braais, potjies, social fires and open or closed-combustion fireplaces or stoves around Cape Town. Tip: When using Black Wattle for braais, keep a side fire going while your meat cooks, so you never run out of coals. View the deal below for dry Black Wattle braai wood.
