Seasoned or fresh firewood: what you'll get
The wood we deliver depends on the time of year. This applies to all three woods: bluegum, black wattle and rooikrans.
November to April: seasoned
Seasoned wood has dried over time. It lights easily, burns hot and makes little smoke.
May to October: fresh
Fresh wood still holds moisture. It is harder to light, smokes more and gives less heat until it has dried.
Dry wood for winter: buy in summer
If you want dry wood when it's cold, order seasoned wood between November and April and store it until winter. The price is the same all year.
How to store firewood
- Keep it off the ground, on pallets or a rack.
- Cover the top, but leave the sides open so air can move through.
- Stack in rows with gaps, not in a tight heap.
- Burn the driest wood first.
