Reliable Performance

Namibian hardwoods are reliable and consistent in their performance, making them ideal for charcoal production and braai enthusiasts.
They ignite easily, burn slowly, and generate substantial heat.

Long-Lasting and Slow-Burning

These hardwoods release enduring heat that lasts for hours, making them perfect for extended grilling sessions or overnight burning in
fireplaces. Their slow-burning nature ensures a steady and controlled flame.

Flavor Enhancement

Namibian hardwoods, especially Sicklebush, are known for imparting a distinct smoky flavor to grilled meats, enhancing the overall
culinary experience.

Minimal Ash and Creosote

Burning Namibian hardwood results in less residual ash and reduced creosote deposits, making post-fire clean-up easier.

Namibian hardwood charcoal is a premium product made from dense, slow-growing hardwoods harvested in Namibia. It is known for its
exceptional qualities:

Density and Slow Burn

Namibian hardwoods like Mopane and various Acacia species are used to make this charcoal. Their high density, resulting from slow
growth in Namibia’s arid climate, allows the charcoal to burn slowly and consistently, providing long-lasting heat.

High Heat Output

Namibian hardwood charcoal burns hot, sealing in juices and flavors for bolder, more flavorful grilled foods. It can maintain temperatures
of up to 3-4 hours.

Natural and Chemical-Free

This charcoal is made from 100% natural Namibian hardwood, free from any chemicals, fillers, or binders. It provides a rich aroma that
complements the natural flavors of meat, fish, and poultry.

Alien Vegetation Removal

Much of the hardwood used comes from alien vegetation species that need to be removed from Namibia. Using these woods helps
control invasive species.

Sizing and Packaging

Namibian hardwood charcoal is typically sold in 5kg and 10kg bags. The 5kg bags are sifted to 20-S00mm, while the 10kg bags contain
larger pieces up to 18Omm. Briquettes made from charcoal fines under 20mm are also available.

In summary, Namibian hardwood charcoal is a premium, natural product known for its high heat output, long burn time, and ability to enhance the flavor of grilled foods. Its use also supports the removal of invasive species in Namibia
