Mopane

Mopane is one of the densest hardwoods in southern Africa. Sustainably harvested from the woodlands of Zimbabwe and Botswana, it produces sustained, even heat that outlasts any other species in our catalogue — burns steadily for 4–6 hours.

This is the wood for long braai sessions: a full afternoon of cooking where you need consistent heat across a large grill. The coal bed it produces holds heat exceptionally well, and the wood itself burns almost odourlessly.

Africa's ironwood — built for overnight fires, big pizza nights and serious braais.
