Black Wattle
Black Wattle is the most cost-efficient fire wood as it burns for a long period of time and produces coals for a braai as well. Most commonly used for fireplaces and braai's if you are not in a rush to get your meat on the fire ;) Our Black Wattle pieces are fairly large so we recommend using more fire starters than usual. Ratings: Indoor fire: 9/10 Braai: 7/10
Gum
Gum wood has two types; Red Gum and Blue Gum.
They both burn equally well, but the Red gum produces small amounts of coal where as the Blue Gum produces none. Gum wood burns much faster than Black Wattle.
This wood is great for pizza ovens and indoor or outdoor fires.
Our bags contain a mix of Red and Blue Gum.

Indoor Fire: 7/10
Braai: 2/10
Sekelbos
We stock only Sekelbos hardwood which comes from North-West farms that need the trees cleared for agricultural purposes.
Sekelbos hardwood burns for a long period of time and gives off an amazing smell.
It produces minimal smoke and has a sweet aroma adding to your living room or meat.

Indoor Fire: 10/10
Braai: 10/10
Battle of the Firewoods
If you do not know which firewood to choose, check out our battle of the firewood videos where we take you through the pro's and con's of the different types of firewood for you to have a visual reference to next time you order your firewood :)
Rooikraans
Rooikraans is the most used "braai wood" because once it starts burning it provides immediate coals for you to start braaing the meat.
It is not recommended that you start your fire with rooikraans as it produces a lot of smoke. It burns the best when the fire is started with gum or black wattle as it provides enough heat for the rooikraans to burn at their best potential without all the smoke.
Once the fire starts going, watch the coals just fall.

Commitment to sustainability
About Us
At All Good Firewood, our name reflects more than just the quality of our firewood—it's a testament to the positive impact and difference we strive to make in everything we do - Jaden, Founder and Creative
All Good Firewood began as a student project, but it has evolved into a vibrant community rooted in quality, sustainability, and cultural pride. Our strong relationships with customers have transformed our business into much more than just selling firewood—it's about sharing experiences and building connections.
As the owner, I bring together my diverse background as a fashion model, creative director, environmentalist, and law graduate to craft the most exciting firewood brand around. This unique blend of perspectives influences everything we do, from our premium wood selection to our innovative and creative marketing.
Our commitment to giving back is central to our mission. Through our Tree-for-Tree initiative, we ensure that for every tree used, another is planted, helping to restore and protect our natural environment. Additionally, our Fueling Shisanyama spirit supports local vendors by donating firewood, fostering community, and keeping South African traditions alive.
At All Good Firewood, we're not just delivering wood; we're delivering a vision of sustainability, community, and creativity, all while making a lasting impact on the world around us.

5. Impactful Give-Back Initiatives: For every tree used, we donate a tree and contribute to projects that benefit low-income communities, ensuring our business has a positive and lasting impact for a generation of entrepreneurs.
Starting the Fire
We know it can be difficult sometimes, so here are some tips ;)
- Build a criss-cross foundation with smaller pieces of wood
- Build up balls of newspaper
- Add a few sticks on kindling
- Light the balls of newspaper from the bottom
-Progressively add more pieces of wood and enjoy a warm fire
Quality Control
We make sure that our firewood is 100% dry before packing it in bags and delivering it to your home.
Before packing the bags of wood, to ensure that our wood is properly seasoned, we make multiple fires throughout three months to be certain that you should never encounter a problem starting and maintaining a warm fire.
Delivery
"The most efficient wood delivery service in Cape Town"
"Premium delivery"
We pride ourselves on delivery efficiency and guarantee your standard wood order to take no longer than five days to get to you and 15 minutes to offload your wood, leaving you with a peaceful mind knowing that you won't need to wait days for your order or hours for it to be offloaded when you have a busy schedule.
Therefore we set out a framework for what we consider the standard delivery.
-Delivery is done within 5 days after your order is placed. However, we try our best to come earlier and this 5 day expected delivery is a last resort
-We will carry your wood and pack it within 30m from the bakkie
-If there are stairs, we will carry the wood up or down a maximum of 10 steps.
-Loose wood is delivered and thrown in any area within 30m.
*If your delivery requires us to go down more steps or further than 30m or you require loose wood to be stacked, there is a small additional cost which makes up for the time we may lose out on with another delivery for the day.
If you will not be home within three days, please send an email or WhatsApp so that we can arrange for another delivery date.
Payment
We accept instant EFT's and Cash on delivery. If you wish to pay cash, please have the amount ready before the delivery starts.
