Why Our Blue Gum (Bloekom) is the Best Firewood Choice in Cape Town

When the Cape Town winds start to bite, or you're planning a social evening around a crackling fire, you need firewood that’s reliable, long-lasting, and efficient. Here’s why our Blue Gum firewood in Jumbo XL bags is consistently chosen by discerning Capetonians:

• Exceptional Burning Properties: Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus) is a dense hardwood, renowned for its impressively slow burn and high heat output. This means you’ll use less wood to keep your fire going for longer, providing sustained warmth and a mesmerising flame. It’s the ideal kaggelhout for those long winter evenings.
• Perfectly Semi-Seasoned for Your Convenience: We understand you want firewood that’s ready to use. Our Blue Gum is carefully semi-seasoned to achieve an optimal moisture content, typically between 18% and 25%. This crucial step ensures easier lighting, a hotter burn, and significantly less smoke compared to green or overly moist wood, making it perfect for indoor fireplaces.
• Jumbo XL Bags – More Value, Less Hassle: Our Blue Gum comes in convenient Jumbo XL bags. This generous sizing means you get a substantial amount of top-quality firewood, perfect for stocking up. The bags also make storage a breeze – neat and tidy in your garage, shed, or courtyard, a practical solution for city living.
• Eco-Conscious Choice – Supporting Local Ecosystems: Blue Gum is an alien invasive species in many parts of the Western Cape, consuming vast quantities of precious water and impacting our unique fynbos. By choosing our Blue Gum firewood, you’re not just getting excellent firewood; you’re actively supporting vital clearing efforts that help conserve water and restore natural habitats. It's a purchase you can feel good about!

Blue Gum: The Ultimate Fireplace Wood for Cape Town Homes

For Capetonians relying on a fireplace or a closed-combustion stove for winter warmth, Blue Gum is, without a doubt, a top-tier fuel. Its density ensures it forms long-lasting coals that radiate heat efficiently, keeping your living spaces comfortably warm for hours. The low to medium moisture content of our semi-seasoned logs translates to a cleaner burn with minimal smoke, protecting your indoor air quality and reducing chimney buildup. Say goodbye to constantly feeding the fire and hello to consistent, comforting heat with our premium Blue Gum.

Sourcing Our Blue Gum: Quality and Sustainability Hand-in-Hand

We are committed to providing the best Blue Gum firewood to our Cape Town customers. Our wood is responsibly sourced from local South African farms and invasive clearing programmes, primarily in regions where Blue Gum thrives. This not only ensures a consistent supply of high-quality hardwood but also contributes to essential environmental management initiatives. Each log is carefully selected and processed, ensuring you receive well-sized pieces that are ready for your hearth.

The Versatility of Blue Gum Firewood

While Blue Gum truly shines as kaggelhout (fireplace wood), its applications extend further:

• Fireplaces & Closed-Combustion Stoves: Its long burn time and high heat output make it exceptionally efficient and economical for home heating.
• Pizza Ovens: Blue Gum can achieve the high temperatures needed for that perfect, crispy pizza base. Its sustained heat ensures your oven stays at the optimal cooking temperature.
• Social Fires (Bonfires/Fire Pits): Create a captivating and long-lasting outdoor fire for social gatherings. Its steady burn means less time managing the fire and more time enjoying the company.

A Note on Braaing with Blue Gum: While versatile, Blue Gum firewood is generally not the first choice for braaing meat directly over the coals. It burns slower and produces less intense, direct coal heat suitable for grilling, often reducing to a fine ash rather than long-lasting, glowing embers ideal for a braai. Additionally, some find it can release compounds that may affect the flavour of directly grilled meats. For traditional South African braais, consider alternatives like Rooikrans or Kameeldoring. However, Blue Gum is perfectly suitable for cooking in a potjie pot over the flames or in a pan placed on a grid.

Understanding Moisture Content in Your Blue Gum Firewood

We meticulously manage the seasoning process of our Blue Gum firewood, aiming for that sweet spot of 18% to 25% moisture content. This range is ideal for an efficient, clean burn with minimal smoke. We use moisture meters to regularly check our stock before it's bagged.

However, wood is a natural product. Factors like prevailing weather conditions during harvesting and transportation, as well as seasonal humidity changes in Cape Town, can occasionally influence moisture levels. While we strive for perfection, slight variations can occur. If you ever have concerns about the moisture content of your delivery, please don't hesitate to contact us. Our policy is simple: if we wouldn't be happy to burn it in our own homes, we won’t deliver it to yours. Customer satisfaction is paramount.
