Blue Gum Wood Bulk | Loose Pieces

Blue Gum Wood Bulk | Loose Pieces – Best Value Firewood in Cape Town

Nothing beats the crackle of Blue Gum wood on a Cape Town winter’s night. Our loose, bakkie-load volumes of Bloekom Hout are sourced from Western-Cape farms and delivered straight to your door. Because the pieces arrive un-bagged, you pay less than for pre-packed bags and you get to choose the perfect seasoning spot at home.

Why Choose Loose Blue Gum Wood?

This bulk format suits families, guest lodges and small businesses that burn wood daily. Buying bulk Blue Gum firewood means:

• More heat, less cost – dense eucalyptus burns hot and slow, squeezing every rand out of each log.
• Sustainable choice – removal of thirsty invasive Blue Gum frees up Cape Town’s water catchments.
• DIY seasoning – stack it under cover ina windy area that gets some sunlight and, in a few dry week or months, you’ll have sub-20 % moisture content that rivals kiln-dried wood and makes the neighbours jealous.
• Versatility – excellent fireplace fuel, great for pizza ovens and social potjie fires. (For direct-heat braais and fires, consider our hotter Mopani hardwood instead.)

How Loose Loads Work

• Bakkie-load sizes – order a 100 to 500 piece quarter or half-load for flats, alternatively a 1000 to 2000 piece full-load for homes and estates; we arrive, offload, carry and stack for free.
• Moisture range – pieces leave us at ±25 % moisture content in majority cases. Two to three months of home curing drops that below 20 %, perfect for clean burning.
• Flexible storage – raise the stack on pallets, keep the sides open for airflow, and cover the top against Cape rain.

Seasoning Tips from Local Braai Masters

Rotate your stacks: burn the front row first, slide the next row forward, and load the fresh delivery at the back. Order in summer to beat winter demand and give the wood time to dry naturally. Need extra heat while it seasons, ther than kindling? Grab a bag of our Namibian hardwood mix to bridge the gap.

Bulk Buying Power: Expert Q&A on Loose Loads and Seasoning

Q. What is the price difference between a loose bakkie load and pre-packed bags?

A. Our loose, un-bagged Blue Gum loads offer up to a 25% cost saving over equivalent volumes of pre-packed bags, making them the best value option for bulk buyers and daily wood burners.

Q. Does the price for a loose load include offloading and free stacking at my home?

A. Yes, this is a key part of our service. The crew will offload, carry, and stack the loose pieces on your premises within 30m from where we park, at no extra charge.

Q. What is the ideal way to season the loose Blue Gum wood to get the best burn?

A. We recommend stacking the wood off the ground in a sunny, windy spot. Cover only the top against heavy rain. A few months of home curing will ensure the moisture content reaches below 20%, ensuring a perfect, clean burn.

Q. What is the best wood to blend with a Blue Gum bakkie load for intense braai coals?

A. For instant, intense heat and braai-ready coals, we strongly recommend blending with our Black Wattle, Red Gum or Rooikrans bulk loads. Blue Gum will then carry the long, sustained heat efficiently.

Q. What are the average length and size of the loose pieces in a bakkie load?

A. Our pieces average around 25cm in length, which is ideal for most fireplaces. You will receive a mixed array of cuts and sizes—some round and some split, ranging from large to medium pieces—which aids in building a versatile, long-burning fire.
