If a bag is not, we uplift it and exchange it: the bags come back on the truck and dry bags replace them.

What “dry” means here
Wood that lights properly and burns hot instead of hissing at you.
Our bagged wood is seasoned and stored under cover at the yard in Parow, so what goes on the truck is properly dry. Wet wood is the one thing you cannot check before the first match, so we carry that risk, not you.
What the Dry Guarantee covers
Every bagged wood and kindling product on the shop: Blue Gum / Bloekom, Blackwattle, Short Pieces, Kameeldoring, Sekeldoring, Swarthaak, Mopane, the Namibian Hardwood Mix and Chunky, Heat Logs, all three kindling bags and all three combos. If it is wood or kindling in a bag, it is covered, with two exceptions: the Rooikrans Bulk Bag and Wingerd Stompies. The two rooikrans bags in the Braai Combo are covered too.
What it does not cover
Loose wood. Loose Blue Gum, Blackwattle and Rooikrans are a separate line, sold as-is by the number of pieces, for buyers with covered storage.
The Rooikrans Bulk Bag, bought on its own. Our weeknight braai bag is sold as-is and is not covered; the two in the Braai Combo are.
Wingerd Stompies. Dried vine stumps, sold as-is and not covered.
Charcoal, briquettes, anthracite and firelighters. Not seasoned wood, so a dryness guarantee has nothing to say about them.
The steel log holders. Powder-coated steel does not need one.
How to claim
WhatsApp 060 978 8945 with your order number and a photo of the wood, within 7 days of delivery. We put the exchange on the next run through your area: the driver uplifts the bags and leaves dry ones in their place. No form, nothing to post back.
After delivery: the one honest paragraph
Dry wood stays dry if it is stored off the ground, covered on top and open at the sides so air moves through it. A wood store, a carport, a pallet under an overhang all work. A sealed plastic sheet wrapped tight against a wall does not: the wood sweats under it and a wet Cape winter does the rest. The guarantee covers the bag as it arrives; the 7-day window is long enough to light the first fire and short enough that storage has not yet had its say.
If you have nowhere covered to keep it, order fewer bags more often.
25 years on one promise
We started in 2001 with a bakkie, and people kept ordering because the wood lit. The Dry Guarantee is that, written down so you can hold us to it. See where we deliver and what each route costs.
Dry Guarantee — FAQ
What does the Dry Guarantee cover?
Every bagged wood and kindling product we sell except the Rooikrans Bulk Bag and Wingerd Stompies, from bloekom to kameeldoring to the three kindling bags. If a bag is not properly dry, we uplift it and exchange it for dry bags.
What isn’t covered?
Loose wood, which is a separate line sold as-is for buyers with covered storage; the Rooikrans Bulk Bag bought on its own (the two in the Braai Combo are covered); Wingerd Stompies; and charcoal, briquettes, anthracite, firelighters and the steel log holders, which are not seasoned wood.
How do I claim?
WhatsApp 060 978 8945 with your order number and a photo, within 7 days of delivery. We collect the bags on the next run through your area and replace them with dry ones.
What if I stored the wood badly?
Wood that arrived dry and was then wrapped in a sealed plastic sheet against a wall will go off, and the guarantee cannot cover that. Keep it off the ground, covered on top and open at the sides. If you are unsure whether it was the storage or the bag, send the photo anyway and we will tell you straight.
Light it. If it hisses, tell us.
Order today and your bags are carried in and stacked, still bagged, within 50 m of where the truck offloads.
