Firewood in Johannesburg
For the best quality firewood in Johannesburg at great prices, www.firewood.joburg has amazing service and will impress! For cooking meat on a braai choose sekelbos as it gives the meat a smokey aroma. For fireplace wood choose the hardwood or bluegum, which burns the longest.
