What a standing order looks like
You tell us your turnover. We size the drop and put it on the route.
Most kitchens run out the same way: somebody counts the bags on a Thursday, there are two left, and Friday is cooked on whatever the nearest forecourt sells. A standing order replaces that. We agree a weekly quantity of charcoal, wood and briquettes that matches what you burn, it goes on the truck for your area on a fixed day, and the driver carries it in and stacks it in your store. Long weekend or a function coming, you WhatsApp the number and the drop goes up for that week.
The other half is consistency: our marked bags carry the Dry Guarantee, so the wood burns the same way week after week.
What trade buys
Retail prices shown. Trade pricing is quoted on WhatsApp against your weekly volume, not printed here.
Kameeldoring 18kg — R120 — dense Namibian hardwood that settles into hot coals and stays there. For the open wood grill, the boma at the venue, the open fireplace in the guest lounge. Trade pricing on request.
Sekeldoring (sekelbos) 18kg — R120 — smaller pieces, lights faster, burns fiercer. For a grill or braai that has to be ready quickly. Trade pricing on request.
Blue Gum / Bloekom 20kg and Blackwattle 20kg — R109 — our recommendation for fireplaces, closed-combustion units included: warm guest rooms and lounges. Trade pricing on request.
Restaurant Grade Lump Charcoal 10kg — R150 — lump charcoal for direct heat on the grill. Trade pricing on request.
Namib Briquettes 4kg — R55 — steady temperature for longer than lump. The base under a low-and-slow cook and a steady choice for a guest braai in the wind. Trade pricing on request.
Heat Logs, kindling and firelighters go on the same order.
Guest houses, hotels and self-catering
The December problem is a storage problem wearing a supply problem’s clothes.
A self-catering manager with six units and a changeover every second day has no shortage of guests who want a braai. What they lack is somewhere to keep three weeks of charcoal, and time to fetch more when the last bag goes on the 28th. So we size the drop to the units and the season, deliver a quantity the store can hold, and repeat on a fixed day through the peak. Braai wood, charcoal, firelighters and kindling, topped up on a message, and the guest finds the braai stocked on arrival.
Wedding venues and country hotels run the opposite calendar: fireplaces and bomas from April to September. Kameeldoring and Namibian Hardwood Chunky on a standing winter order, Blue Gum / Bloekom for the hearths, delivered to the wood store and stacked. The Winelands route runs two to three times a week at one flat fee, so a venue outside Stellenbosch or Franschhoek is on the same terms as one in Newlands.

Trade supply — FAQ
Is there a minimum order?
No. A standing order is sized to what you burn, whether that is four bags a week or forty. The one exception is the West Coast route, which runs twice a month on a Friday with a R2,000 minimum because it is a dedicated truck.
How often can you deliver?
Trucks run Monday to Friday on every metro route, and the Winelands route runs two to three times a week. Saturdays are on request when there is enough demand. A standing order is usually weekly; if your turnover needs more than one drop a week, say so.
Can you invoice us?
Yes. Trade customers can apply for an account, and we send a short application form once we have agreed your standing order. WhatsApp us with your weekly volume to start.
Can you deliver on a fixed day?
Yes. That is what a standing order is for: a fixed day on your route, with the bags carried into your store and stacked. We confirm the first delivery day with you; after that it is the same day every week.
