What is Wooden?
Wood is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It is an organic material – a natural composite of cellulose fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin that resists compression.

Kameeldoring and sekelbos are examples of hardwoods. Hardwood is considered the best for braai-ing because its density and low moisture content mean it produces a higher temperature over a longer cooking time. Hardwood is also easy to light and makes less smoke.
