Hout Doorn
Hout doring (thornwood or doringhout) refers to dense African thorn tree hardwoods—such as camelthorn (kameeldoring), sweet thorn (soetdoring), and sekelbos—widely prized in South Africa for braais and fireplaces. Extremely heavy and dense wood structure. Burns slowly, providing steady, high-heat coals ideal for extended cooking. Often harvested dry from arid regions, resulting in minimal smoke and a clean burn. Imparts a pleasant, authentic bushveld aroma to meat.
