{"title":"Rooikrans Wood Cape Town","description":"\u003cp\u003eRooikrans wood comes from \u003cem\u003eAcacia cyclops\u003c\/em\u003e, an Australian wattle introduced to the \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCape and now firmly established along much of the Western Cape coastline, but poses a direct threat to local fynbos and surrounding plant life. It is a cherished local braai wood loved by nearly everyone because it catches easily, creates a fast, hot flame and ends up in usable cooking coals without a long wait. This makes Rooikrans well suited to weeknight braais, chicken, fish, chops and even inside pizza ovens around Cape Town. It is a must-have for social fires over the weekend. Capetonians simply love it.. If you have run out of normal firewood, it even works well in open fireplaces.
