Buy Karri Firewood in Perth – Seasoned Bulk Loads
Our karri firewood shows pinkish to light red-brown timber with long, straight grain. Karri is lighter than Jarrah or Wandoo, so it catches quickly and burns with a bright, lively flame. It produces good heat for its weight but burns through faster, which suits shorter evening fires and mild-weather burning.
Why Perth buyers choose karri 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 $269 for a half tonne to $1,339 for three tonne, with a lower per-tonne price on larger loads.
Best suited to
- Quick evening fires and shoulder-season burning
- Getting a firebox up to temperature fast
- Mixing with Jarrah or Wandoo for a balanced load
- Outdoor fire pits where a lively flame is wanted

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 karri firewood with gaps for air. Mix Karri with a denser hardwood: use Karri to get the fire going and add Jarrah or Wandoo once the fire is hot for a longer burn.
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 karri firewood for your home
Before you buy karri 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 karri 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 Wandoo firewood and Marri firewood before deciding.
Storing your karri 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.

Questions about karri firewood
Is Karri good firewood?
Yes, when it is properly seasoned. It lights easily and burns hot, but faster than Jarrah, so plan for more frequent reloads.
Why is Karri cheaper than Jarrah?
It is less dense, so a tonne gives a shorter total burn time. Many buyers use it to stretch a heating budget or mix it with denser wood.
