Kameeldoring Firewood – Premium Namibian Hardwood for the Perfect Fire
Kameeldoring wood, also known as Camelthorn (Afrikaans: Kameelhout; Acacia erioloba / Vachellia erioloba), is widely regarded as one of the finest firewoods available in Southern Africa. This dense Namibian hardwood boasts an extraordinary density of about 936 kg per m³, allowing it to burn much longer and hotter than ordinary firewood. It produces intense heat and long-lasting coals, making it ideal for braais, fireplaces, and even pizza ovens. If you’re searching for the ultimate high-performance firewood to elevate your cooking or heating experience, Kameeldoring is the top choice.
Intense Heat & Long-Lasting Coals
Every piece of Kameeldoring firewood generates intense heat and produces long-lasting coals, keeping your fire blazing for hours. Its ultra-dense composition means it can sear steaks and grill meats to perfection, giving them that coveted crispy exterior and juicy center. The wood burns steadily without quick burnout, so whether you’re enjoying a leisurely weekend braai or firing up a pizza oven, you’ll get consistent, reliable heat from start to finish. Plus, the vibrant red-orange glow of a Kameeldoring fire creates an inviting ambiance, keeping everyone warm and mesmerized long into the night.
Ultra-Low Moisture for Instant Use
Thanks to its origin in Namibia’s arid regions, Kameeldoring wood is naturally cured under the African sun and has an exceptionally low moisture content of just 1–2%. There’s no need to wait for any additional seasoning—when your order arrives, each log is bone-dry and ready to ignite immediately. This ultra-low moisture content ensures a clean, efficient burn with minimal smoke output. You won’t struggle with damp wood or excessive smoke, so you can fire up your braai, fireplace, or even a traditional potjiekos pot as soon as your delivery reaches you.
Environmentally Friendly & Responsibly Sourced
Using Kameeldoring firewood means choosing a more sustainable braai wood. All of our Camelthorn logs are legally sourced from dead trees in Namibia, a practice that protects living specimens of this slow-growing species (some Kameeldoring trees live over 150 years!). By harvesting only naturally-felled and deceased trees (under strict permits), we ensure minimal environmental impact while supporting local conservation efforts. You can enjoy your fire knowing this wood is obtained ethically and contributes to habitat preservation, all while delivering the highest-quality firewood for your home.

Premium Quality Assurance & Supply Chain Excellence
We treat Kameeldoring (Kameelhout / Camelthorn) like a craft, not a commodity. Our Grade A+ Namibian hardwood is lab-tested for density and dryness before it reaches Cape Town. Kameeldoring is an exceptionally dense species (commonly cited ~936 kg/m³; independent technical references list ~1,185 kg/m³ average dried weight), which explains the hotter fires and longer-lasting coals seasoned braai masters love.
- Moisture control: batches typically test at ~1–2% MC for clean ignition and minimal smoke — the hallmark of true desert-cured hardwood.
- Responsible sourcing: legally harvested from naturally-dead Camelthorn under permit controls — protecting living trees while delivering elite burn performance.
- Cold-chain for wood (seriously): we load in Namibia and line-haul ~1,480–1,515 km to Cape Town on dedicated cross-border trucks so your bags arrive dry, clean and consistent.
If any Kameeldoring batch arrives above high moisture, we’ll replace it — no debates. That confidence comes from 25+ years experience serving the Mother City and its braai culture.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Kameeldoring burn compared to other woods?
Because it’s extraordinarily dense (≈936–1,185 kg/m³ depending on measurement basis), Kameeldoring burns slower and holds coals longer than common local species — perfect for steady braai heat and fireplace endurance. Expect fewer top-ups and a more even cooking window.
Is Kameeldoring sustainably and legally sourced?
Yes. By policy, we source from dead Camelthorn trees in Namibia under permit guidance — a widely accepted sustainability standard that protects living specimens of this slow-growing species.
Can I use Kameeldoring in a pizza oven or for low-and-slow cooking?
Absolutely. The ultra-low moisture (~1–2%) and high density yield a clean, hot, steady flame with serious coal retention — ideal for pizza ovens and long cooks.
