A long-burning hardwood that burns down cleanly to an ash. Ideal for closed combustion fireplaces, open fireplaces, and pizza ovens.
Burns long and cleanly — can last up to 2 hours with just 10–15 minutes on a good bed of coals. Excellent heat output.
Burns hotter than Bluegum but not as long. Great for getting a fire going fast and generating quick intense heat.

"Been using Firewood 4 Africa for years. The Rooikrans is unbeatable for a braai — turns to a perfect coal and the heat lasts all evening. Fast delivery, always good quality."
"Our pizza oven has never burned so well. The Bluegum gives a beautiful clean burn with almost no ash. Delivered to Camps Bay, no problem. Highly recommend Grant and the team."
"Used their FireSweep service before winter. Honestly didn't realise how much creosote had built up. Friendly guys, thorough job, certificate issued on the day. Will use every year."
