Sekelbos Wood Bulk (Sicklebush)

Sekelbos Wood: Premium Braai Firewood for the Perfect Flame

Ever noticed how some firewood just refuses to cooperate? Our premium Sekelbos wood—also known as Sekeldoring, Siclewood, Sickle Bush, or Sekel Hout—comes straight from Namibia's arid regions where the desert climate naturally creates ultra-dense, bone-dry hardwood. With verified density of 825 kg/m³ and moisture content below 1%, this scientifically superior hardwood transforms ordinary braais into memorable experiences that'll have your guests asking "What's your secret?"

The Science Behind Sekelbos Excellence

Dichrostachys cinerea (scientific name for Sekelbos Namibian Hardwood) possesses unique characteristics that make it exceptional for Cape Town braais and fireplaces:

• Incredible Density: At 825 kg/m³ density, Sekelbos wood burns 3x longer than typical woods—fewer reloads, more relaxation time with your guests
• Desert-Dry Consistency: Naturally cured under Namibian sun to below 1% moisture content, ensuring reliable ignition and smoke-free burning
• Maximum Heat Output: Burns at approximately 950°C with sustained coaling temperatures perfect for both traditional braais and pizza ovens requiring consistent 400°C+ heat
• Distinctive Bushveld Aroma: Natural compounds infuse meat with authentic African flavour profiles impossible to achieve with gas or electric cooking
• Long-Lasting Coals: Dense hardwood structure creates massive, glowing coals that maintain heat for hours—perfect for those leisurely Sunday braais
• Minimal Ash Production: Clean-burning characteristics mean easy cleanup and less maintenance

Sustainable Namibian Sourcing

Sickle Bush is classified as an invasive species throughout Namibia's rangeland, where it rapidly colonizes areas and competes with native vegetation. Our sustainably sourced Sekelbos comes exclusively from bush-clearing operations that help restore natural ecosystems. Each order supports responsible land management practices benefiting local communities while providing you with premium braai fuel.

Perfect Applications for Your Sekelbos Investment

• Traditional Braai Excellence: Dense coals hold steady heat for thick steaks, boerewors, and potjiekos while that signature bushveld smoke enhances every bite
• Pizza Oven Perfection: Exceeds the steady 400-450°C temperatures essential for authentic wood-fired pizzas with crispy bases and properly melted toppings
• Indoor Fireplace: Clean-burning characteristics minimize sparks while maximizing heat output—ideal for Cape Town winter evenings
• Smoking Applications: Distinctive bushveld aroma with clean-burning properties enhances traditional South African applications like biltong, while the minimal smoke output makes it suitable for controlled smoking environments
