Rooikrans Wood – Cape Town’s Favourite Braai Fuel

When it comes to braai in Cape Town, nothing beats Rooikrans Braai Wood. Known locally as Rooipitjie Braai Hout in Afrikaans, this highly sought-after wood has earned its place as a top choice for South Africans. If you’ve ever sat around a roaring fire or cooked up a potjiekos pot, there’s a good chance Rooikrans was the magic ingredient behind the heat. And it’s no wonder—it’s the favorite braai wood of Jan Braai himself, and for good reason!

Debunking the Myth: Is Rooikrans Only Good for Quick Braais?

Contrary to popular belief, Rooikrans isn’t just for quick braais. While it lights and burns fast while getting very hot, it also produces long-lasting coals, making it perfect for all-day braai sessions or cooking hearty potjiekos. It's 'pit' or 'inner coal section' of the wood means you get more power out of every piece you burn.
