Black Wattle Wood – Cape Town’s Go-To Braai, Fireplace & Pizza-Oven Fuel
There’s a reason Cape Town keeps coming back to Black Wattle wood: it lights fast, throws lively heat, and delivers reliable coals without fuss. Our loose, bakkie-load volumes are sun-dried under the African sky and perfect for DIY seasoning at home—more wood per rand, less packaging, and total control over how you finish the drying.
Why Black Wattle (Loose Pieces) Works So Well
- Quick ignition & steady heat: Medium-density Acacia mearnsii catches easily, builds a bright flame, and yields cooking-ready coals fast—ideal braai wood for weeknights and weekends alike.
- Best-value bulk: Buying loose pieces skips bagging costs, making it one of the most affordable, high-quality firewood options for sale in Cape Town.
- Versatile fuel: Perfect for braais, cosy kaggels (fireplaces), pizza ovens and social fires. Pair a Wattle bed with a dense log of Kameeldoring for marathon burns, or try fragrant Blue Gum and Wingerd (Vine) wood to fine-tune flavour and burn time.
- Local & eco-savvy: Black Wattle is a well-known invader in the Western Cape—burning it helps open water and space for indigenous species while giving you dependable heat.

DIY Seasoning & Storage (Cape Town-Proof)
Most loads leave at roughly ±20–25% moisture and burn well now with a bit of love, but they shine best after a little home seasoning. Stack off the ground (pallets/bricks), keep sides open for airflow, cover only the top, and give it 6–12 weeks in fair weather to drop below 20% for an ultra-clean burn.
Pro tip: when you’re halfway through your current pile, order your next load so it seasons while you burn.
Black Wattle vs Other Hardwoods
Want roaring flames and quick, hot coals? Choose Black Wattle. Want overnight embers? Add a dense log of Mopani or explore the steady, aromatic burn of Sekelbos. Many locals blend Wattle with one of these to balance quick heat, flavour, and long-burning coals.

FAQ: Black Wattle Wood (Braai & Fireplace Use)
How long does a bulk load last?
Usage varies, but ±100 pieces can fuel about 2–5 braais or several cosy evenings; ±1000 pieces can cover 30-50 braais or a whole Cape winter for many households.
Do I need to season it more at home?
It’s semi-seasoned and burns easily. For cleaner, hotter fires, give it 6–12 weeks of airy storage to drop below 20% moisture—Cape wind and sun do the rest.
Is Black Wattle good for pizza ovens and kaggels?
Yes—quick to temperature, consistent heat, and minimal smoke when dry. It crackles pleasantly; use a spark guard for indoor fireplaces or closed units because Black Wattle is known to crackle and pop.
Sourced from local invasive suppliers; batch sizes may vary slightly.
