We sell a variety of firewood; the office quotes availability and pricing at [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). Minden is in Douglas County, where 4.5% of households heat mainly with wood, but within Minden's own limits the share is small. The valley floor still gets real winters, with about 21.8 inches of snow a year. ## At a glance - Douglas County: about 962 households heat mainly with wood (4.5%) - Minden town: about 17 households (1.1%) - About 26 minutes from our yard without traffic - Call for availability and pricing ## Town versus county Douglas County, which includes Minden, has about 962 households that heat mainly with wood, 4.5%. Inside the Minden census area it is about 17 households, 1.1%, and in ZIP 89423, which reaches beyond the town, about 85 households, 1.8% (ACS 2020-2024; small-place numbers with wide margins). The pattern is the usual one: the wider the area you count, the more wood heat shows up. ## Winters on the valley floor The Minden station, at 4,709 feet, averages about 21.8 inches of snow and 9.3 inches of precipitation a year, with a mean temperature of 50.1 F (NOAA 1991-2020). That is cold enough that a wood stove is a welcome supplement. A first-time buyer should ask the office what amounts it sells and how the wood is sold. ## How to get started - Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) and ask whether firewood is available. - Ask what the wood is and whether it is ready to burn. - Ask how to get it from the yard to Minden. - Ask for the price for the amount you want. The yard is 19.5 miles away, about 26 minutes without traffic. We do not post prices, species or delivery terms. ## How should I stack firewood so it dries? Penn State Extension recommends stacking off the ground on pallets and covering only the top with metal sheeting, never fully with a tarp. A fully wrapped stack holds moisture in. Plan for 6 to 12 months of drying if the wood is not already ready to burn. ## Buying for a fire pit or for the winter Minden has many newer homes with outdoor fire pits and fireplaces, and a smaller number with stoves. These are different purchases. A pit needs a little for an evening. A stove needs a supply and a dry place to keep it. Tell the office which one you are, and it can say what is on hand. Because Minden sits on the valley floor, a stack in the open can catch sun and wind. A spot near the house, away from the wall and from dry brush, keeps it handy and keeps fire risk low. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, table B25040 (house heating fuel), Minden CDP, ZCTA5 89423 and Douglas County](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Minden station (USC00265191)](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 26 min 19.5 miles - **Elevation:** 4,725 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 6b 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 16% median year built 1995 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).
