Buy Marri Firewood in Perth – Seasoned Bulk Loads
Our marri firewood shows light pinkish-brown timber, often with dark red gum veins (kino) running through it. Marri is a medium-density hardwood that lights easily and gives a lively fire at a lower price than Jarrah. The natural gum veins mean it can spark and leave a little more ash, so it is best used with a screen or in a closed heater.
Why Perth buyers choose marri 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 $259 for a half tonne to $1,279 for three tonne, with a lower per-tonne price on larger loads.
Best suited to
- Budget winter heating in closed wood heaters
- Mixing with Jarrah for a longer-lasting load
- Outdoor fire pits used with a spark screen
- Households wanting local WA hardwood value

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 marri firewood with gaps for air. Burn Marri in a closed heater or behind a fire screen, and clean the ash more often than you would with Jarrah.
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 marri firewood for your home
Before you buy marri 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 marri 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 Karri firewood before deciding.
Storing your marri 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 marri firewood
Is Marri the same as red gum?
Marri is sometimes called WA red gum, but it is a different tree from River Red Gum. It is lighter and burns faster.
Does Marri spark?
The natural gum veins can cause more sparking than Jarrah, so use a fire screen on open fires.
