Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) for availability and pricing. Dayton is one of the larger communities in the region, with about 15,800 residents and a median home built in 2002. Newer homes seldom come with a wood stove, but plenty of Dayton households want wood for fireplaces, fire pits and outdoor living. ## At a glance - Yard about 12 minutes away without traffic - About 71 Dayton households heat mainly with wood (1.2%) - Lyon County: about 1,034 households (4.4%) - Median home built in 2002 ## A short trip down US 50 Dayton is 7.3 miles from the yard, about 12 minutes without traffic, the closest community after Carson City itself. Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) for availability and pricing; the office can tell you what is on hand. ## What the heating numbers show In the Dayton census area about 71 of 5,842 households, 1.2%, heat mainly with wood, and in ZIP 89403 it is about 136, 2.0%. Lyon County overall counts about 1,034, 4.4% (ACS 2020-2024; small-place numbers have wide margins). About 10% of Dayton homes were built before 1980, so this is a newer community, and a lot of buying is likely for pleasure or backup heat. ## Newer neighborhoods, outdoor fires Many Dayton subdivisions have patios and large back yards, and a fire pit is a likely reason to buy wood. Check with your homeowners association and the local fire district about when and where burning is allowed before you light anything. We do not set those rules, and they change with conditions. ## How long does firewood take to dry? Penn State Extension says firewood needs 6 to 12 months to dry to about 20% moisture, and should sit off the ground with only the top covered. The nearest precipitation gauge, Carson City 4.4 N, is about 8 miles from Dayton and records about 15.2 inches a year (NOAA 1991-2020), a reference for the region rather than a Dayton measurement. ## Pairing wood with a tree job Dayton's newer lots are filling in with young trees, and some established ones need pruning or removal. If you have a tree coming down, ask the office about the wood. We make no promises about what is available at any time, but it is worth the question, and the estimate for tree work is free. Ask the office what is on hand and how the wood would get to you. Phone first, since the office is staffed Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm and the phone line seven days a week. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, table B25040 (house heating fuel), Dayton CDP, ZCTA5 89403 and Lyon County](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Carson City 4.4 N (US1NVCC0014)](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) - [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 12 min 7.3 miles - **Elevation:** 4,384 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7a 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 10% median year built 2002 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).
