As this wood is so dry and dense we have
found the best way to light it is not to
skimp on the kindlers, if you normally
use half a dozen to light
your fire – then use ten
Due to the arid climatic conditions,
once seasoned, the wood has a
moisture content of virtually zero – so
this means that you are getting pure
wood – no moisture!
The wood is stunning to look at
(we have never seen anything like it)
again it is very similar to the
Sekelbos – it looks like driftwood –
very little bark, but the heart
of the wood is a magnificent deep
rich red with an outer band of a pale
biscuit colour – definitely too pretty to burn!
