Authentic Kalahari hardwood - now available for collection in Kildare Town

Our story

Real wood. Real fire. Real flavour.

Kalahari Fire exists for one reason: life is too short to BBQ with bad wood.

From the Kalahari to Ireland

From the Kalahari to Ireland

In Southern Africa, the BBQ is more than cooking - it's a way of bringing people together. And every great BBQ starts with great wood.

Kameeldoring (camelthorn) is the gold standard: dense, slow-burning hardwood that delivers intense, even heat and an unmistakable flavour. We founded Kalahari Fire to bring that authentic experience to BBQ lovers in Ireland - no shortcuts, no compromises.

Alongside our wood, we stock built-to-last BBQ gear we'd happily use ourselves. If it carries our name, it's because we believe in it.
