If it is specially the mopane you want I make sure to bring some for christams if you have your backyard ready!!!

HeY Ngagi,
I know how you feel...post safari depression i mean but texas boys sound like dey full of shit man...i live in sweden now and have a fire pit in my yard...there are no mopane trees here that I am aware of but that fire pit works like a charm...especially in spring and fall when the weather is good out but the air is a little chilly - you just take a seat on the log benches we have around the fire pit, hold onto your glass and let the pinewood burn...it might burn a little quicker than the mopane, but the upside is but you get more flames and a nicer looking fire...

Now hold on there, Lets not cut Mesquite short, I have been smelling that great wood for many years and eaten a ton of meat cooked over it, It makes Mopane look like Ned in the first reader!!

Not to belittle Mopane, it is a great wood with a lot of old memories tied in...
