Title: Where to buy wood for barbecue?
Post by: delpiero on August 10, 2018, 12:42:01 PM
Hi,
living for a period in Caleta and I love to barbecue. Unfortunately I could find only charcoal but no wood to buy?
Do you know any place where I could find?

Thanks,

I am told that the only cheap source of firewood is old pallets, usually for â,¬5 each from many companies that get deliveries from the peninsular, but I don't barbecue much  :D

I remember seeing this week that Lidl had barbecue bags of lena (firewood), but I am pretty sure it will just be charcoal inside, I wasn't really interested in it though.

There is a company that offer it delivered if you buy 10/12Kg http://www.greenmedioambiente.com/venta_de_lena_y_de_astillas_en_fuerteventura.php

You could try picking up driftwood from the beaches.  It's free!

If you are going to use pallets then don't use the painted ones. The paint is quite toxic and the fumes will not only choke you but it'll make your food inedible.

That is exactly what I said when I was offered the advice, but then being British we think of pallets as being bright blue. The pallets here are often just untreated wood, I guess the lack of rain or humidity makes the extra treatment a little unnecessary for the large quantity of one trips to the island
