Acacia firewood from Vietnam is split from plantation acacia, a dense hardwood that burns long and hot. This page explains what makes acacia good firewood, how it compares with other woods, how to burn and store it, and the specification Woodbase ships to importers and retailers.
In short: Woodbase supplies FSC certified acacia firewood dried to 10% moisture or less, cut 20–35 cm long and 3–5 cm thick, in bundles of 5–7 kg or cartons, baled on wooden pallets, from one 40ft HC container.
Why Acacia Burns Well
Acacia is a dense hardwood. Dense wood holds more energy in each piece than light softwood, so a fire of acacia lasts longer and leaves a bed of hot coals for cooking. Split and dried properly, it lights readily and burns with little smoke. That makes it an all-round firewood: stoves and open fireplaces, pizza ovens and bakeries, barbecue and smoking, camping and fire pits.
Acacia Compared with Other Firewoods
- Against softwoods such as pine and spruce: acacia burns longer and makes better coals; softwood lights fast but burns away quickly.
- Against other hardwoods such as oak, beech and birch: acacia gives a similar long, hot burn, and it grows far faster, so it is a plantation crop rather than a slow forest timber.
- Against briquettes: logs give a real flame and crackle for an open fire or oven; for steady heat in a stove, see our Wood Briquettes.
Why Moisture Matters Most
Wet firewood hisses, smokes and wastes its heat boiling off water. Dry firewood lights easily and burns clean. Ours is dried to 10% moisture or less, so it is ready to burn when the bundle is opened. When a shipment arrives, split a few pieces from different pallets and check the moisture with a meter on the fresh face, not the outside, which dries first.
From Plantation to Bundle
Acacia is grown on plantations across Vietnam, so supply does not depend on cutting natural forest, and our firewood is FSC certified (licence code FSC-C181688). The logs are cross-cut to 20–35 cm, split to 3–5 cm, dried, then tied into bundles of 5–7 kg or packed in cartons and baled on wooden pallets for loading. The full process is in our guide to choosing a firewood manufacturer in Vietnam.
Storing Acacia Firewood
Keep the bundles off the ground on pallets or racks, cover the top against rain and leave the sides open so air can move. Firewood stacked on bare soil or wrapped tightly in plastic picks up moisture and can turn mouldy.
