Our loads are typically sourced and dispatched from Namibia. This exceptionally dense Namibian hardwood burns slowly, producing intense, sustained heat and durable coals for longer braais, potjiekos and over-the-grid cooking near Cape Town. One sizeable log can burn for hours while giving off a smaller blue purpley flame. It is a wood that often needs fewer logs constantly added to the fire. Because it is a slower-burning hardwood, Mopane suits open fireplaces and social fires where consistent heat matters.
