Buy Mixed Box Firewood in Perth – Seasoned Bulk Loads
Our box firewood shows a mix of pale brown, yellowish and reddish-brown dense timber from grey box, yellow box and red box. Box timbers are very dense, so a load of mixed box burns long and hot and leaves a solid coal bed. Blending grey, yellow and red box keeps the price below single-species loads while keeping the long burn box is known for.
This species grows in the eastern states, so we source it interstate from established suppliers and bring it into Western Australia in line with WA biosecurity requirements for firewood: clean, bark- and soil-free timber that is subject to inspection on entry. Interstate timber arrives by batch, so confirm current availability with the yard before paying.
Why Perth buyers choose box firewood
- Sold by weight: every bulk load is weighed on certified loader scales before it leaves our Baldivis yard, so the tonnage you order is the tonnage you receive.
- Seasoned and ready to burn: moisture is checked before a load is listed, typically sitting at 10–15%, well under the 25% level where fires struggle.
- Cut for Australian appliances: pieces generally run 250–350mm, a loaf-of-bread length that suits most open fireplaces and slow-combustion heaters.
- Four load sizes: ½, 1, 2 and 3 tonne, from $299 for a half tonne to $1,499 for three tonne, with a lower per-tonne price on larger loads.
Best suited to
- Slow-combustion wood heaters
- Long winter evenings and overnight burns
- Buyers wanting eastern-states box at blended pricing
- Open fireplaces with a screen

Lighting and burning tips
Start with an Exotic Natural Firelighter and a handful of dry kindling, build a small, hot fire and then add two or three pieces of box firewood with gaps for air. Box is dense and slow to catch, so start with kindling and smaller pieces, then add larger splits once the firebox is hot.
Delivery and pickup
Bulk loads are tipped onto your driveway or a safe, accessible spot in Perth metro, Monday to Saturday from 7am. Prefer to collect? Yard pickup in Baldivis can be arranged seven days a week. Bring a trailer or ute rated for the weight you order.
How to choose box firewood for your home
Before you buy box firewood, check these points against how you plan to use it. The live options and prices on this page take priority over any general buying guide.
- Check that your heater, fireplace or oven permits this fuel type and piece size.
- Estimate how often you burn: occasional weekend fires need far less than nightly winter heating.
- Plan a raised, covered and ventilated spot to stack the load after delivery.
- Follow local fire restrictions before lighting an outdoor fire pit.
How much box firewood should I buy?
A half tonne suits occasional fires or a first try of a new species. One to two tonne covers regular evening use through part of winter, and a three-tonne load suits households that heat with wood every day. It is better to reorder than to store more than you can keep dry. Many buyers compare Yellow Box firewood and Red Box firewood before deciding.
Storing your box firewood
Stack the wood off the ground on pallets or a rack, cover the top and leave the sides open so air can move through. Keep the stack away from house walls and fences, and bring a few days of wood indoors at a time. Use older stock first so every fire burns dry and clean.
