The Eastern Cape's braai-wood specialist.

Hoppie's Distribution (also known as Hoppie's Braaiwood) has supplied the Eastern Cape's braais since 2005. We've since grown the range to cover everything South Africans need for a proper braai: charcoal, briquettes, firelighters, drum braais and wholesale plastic bags.

We hold the sole rights to distribute the Sudwest range across the Eastern Cape, and you'll find our products at leading retailers in Gqeberha, Jeffreys Bay and Uitenhage. The business has grown a lot over the years. We still believe the customer comes first.
