MA Associates supplies Kikar (Keekar) hardwood firewood for industrial, commercial, and domestic fuel use. Kikar, also known as Babul (Acacia nilotica), is a dense, hard timber tree that grows widely across Pakistan and is one of the most trusted traditional fuelwoods in the region.

Kikar wood is valued for its high heat output, dense structure, and slow, steady burn. Because it is heavier and denser than many other woods, it holds its heat well and burns longer, which makes it a popular choice for tandoors, bakeries, kilns, and boilers where consistent heat is important.

At MA Associates, we aim to supply Kikar firewood according to buyers’ specifications for moisture level, log length, and diameter, with supply quantities and delivery arrangements discussed according to the intended use.

• High Calorific Value: Around 4,500 to 4,950 kcal/kg when dry, among the highest of commonly used firewoods.
• Dense Hardwood: Typical density of roughly 650 to 700 kg/m³, giving a long, slow, steady burn.
• Low Ash: Typically leaves little ash, which makes cleaning easier.
• Strong Heat Retention: Dense wood and good coals hold heat well, useful for ovens, tandoors, and kilns.
• Seasoned Options: Air-dried logs are available for better combustion and less smoke, subject to stock and agreement.
• Customizable Supply: Moisture level, log length, and diameter can be discussed according to requirements.

The table below shows indicative specifications for Kikar (Acacia nilotica) firewood. Actual values depend on the tree, the part of the wood (sapwood or heartwood), the drying time, and the batch, and should be confirmed before purchase.

Figures shown are indicative values reported in forestry and fuelwood studies for Acacia nilotica and are not a guarantee of any consignment. Heating value falls as moisture rises, so actual values vary with moisture content, wood part, and batch, and should be confirmed for the specific lot.

• Tandoors, bakeries, and commercial kitchens
• Brick kilns and other compatible kilns
• Industrial boilers and heating systems
• Restaurants, hotels, and wood-fired ovens
• Barbecue and outdoor cooking
• Domestic heating and cooking

Moisture content and log size should match the equipment. Very wet wood lowers heat output and increases smoke, so buyers should confirm the moisture level and log dimensions that suit their oven, boiler, or kiln before purchase.

Dense hardwood such as Kikar dries slowly, so it should be stacked off the ground, under cover, and in a well-ventilated area. Dry firewood can reabsorb moisture in rain or damp conditions, so keep it covered during storage and transport.

MA Associates aims to support industrial and commercial customers with dependable sourcing, clear product information, and supply arrangements tailored to their requirements. We work with buyers to match moisture level and log size to their intended application and order quantity.
