We sell a variety of firewood, and the office gives availability and pricing by phone at [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). Carson City is home base, so this is the easiest place in the region to buy from us. Most households here do not burn wood as their main heat, so an order is often for a fireplace, a stove for the cold snaps or a backyard fire pit. ## At a glance - Sold from our yard at 6301 US Highway 50 East - About 8 minutes from central Carson City without traffic - About 1.2% of Carson City households heat mainly with wood - Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) for availability and pricing ## Buying from a yard you can find Our office and yard share one address: 6301 US Highway 50 East, Carson City, NV 89701. For Carson City buyers that is about 4.5 miles from the center of town, or about 8 minutes without traffic (a free-flow estimate). We do not post quantities, species or terms online. The office tells you what is on hand and how it is sold. ## How many Carson City households burn wood The Census Bureau counts about 288 households in Carson City whose main heating fuel is wood, about 1.2% of the city's roughly 23,700 households (ACS 2020-2024, table B25040). That figure counts only main heating, not the many fireplaces and stoves used on cold evenings, so the number of people who buy firewood is larger. It also tells you that most buyers here are not heating a whole house with wood and may want smaller amounts. ## What to ask when you call - Is firewood available now? - What do you have, and how is it sold? - Is the wood ready to burn, or does it need time to dry? - How do I get it from the yard to my house? - What does it cost for the amount I want? The office answers these questions and quotes the price. We do not publish prices or terms online. ## How long does firewood take to dry? Penn State Extension says wood should be dried to about 20% moisture to burn cleanly, which generally takes 6 to 12 months, and recommends stacking it off the ground on pallets or metal tubes. The top of the stack should be covered with a sheet of corrugated metal, not wrapped completely in a tarp. If the wood you buy is not ready to burn, that is the plan to follow. The Carson City station averages about 14.0 inches of snow a year and a mean temperature of 51.7 F (NOAA 1991-2020), so stacks do sit outdoors through real winters. ## Keep it local Don't Move Firewood notes that Nevada prohibits uncertified firewood entering from quarantined areas and advises buying firewood where you will burn it. Buying from a Carson City yard for a Carson City fireplace is as local as it gets. ## Tree work and firewood together Our Carson City tree crews remove, trim and clear trees across the capital. If you have a tree that needs work and would like to know about the wood, mention it when you request a free estimate. The office can tell you what is possible, without promises about what any particular job will produce. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, table B25040 (house heating fuel), Carson City](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Carson City station (USC00261485)](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [Penn State Extension: Heating with Wood, An Introduction (updated June 15, 2026)](https://extension.psu.edu/heating-with-wood-an-introduction) (read October 17, 2026) - [Don't Move Firewood: Nevada](https://www.dontmovefirewood.org/map/nevada/) (read October 17, 2026) - [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap roads, free-flow drive time from 6301 US Highway 50 East, Carson City](https://project-osrm.org/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - **Drive from our yard:** about 8 min 4.5 miles - **Elevation:** 4,680 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7a 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 49% median year built 1981 Sources: drive time from our yard at 6301 US Highway 50 East, free-flow, OSRM / Census Geocoder; elevation, USGS 3DEP; hardiness zone, USDA 2023 map; housing figures, U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 five-year estimates; wildfire risk, USDA Forest Service Wildfire Risk to Communities (April 2026 data).
