Rooikrans – 1000 pieces

Loose rooikrans is the braai-every-weekend buy: the Cape’s braai wood, harvested in the Western Cape from invasive alien clearing, by the piece. 250 pieces (R800), 500 (R1,500) or 1,000 (R2,950), sold from October to March — when the braai gets used most and the wood store has room.

It lights easily, burns hot and coals quickly, which is why it goes through so fast and why buying it loose makes sense. Loose wood is sold as-is for buyers with covered storage and carries no Dry Guarantee; keep it under a roof, off the ground, and let the summer finish the seasoning. It suits guest houses and venues with a boma.

Delivered and offloaded where you say — driveway, wood store, the side of the house — across greater Cape Town, the Winelands and the West Coast for one flat fee per route from R200, typically within 1–2 business days. For a bag at a time, the Rooikrans Bulk Bag.
