Availability and pricing come from the office at [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). Sparks is the least wood-heated city we cover. Only about 31 households in the whole city heat mainly with wood, so firewood here is mostly a comfort purchase: a fireplace evening, a patio fire pit or a camping trip. ## At a glance - About 31 Sparks households heat mainly with wood - Yard about 41 minutes away without traffic - Sparks station: about 6.8 inches of snow a year - Call for availability and pricing ## What the heating data says The Census Bureau counts about 31 Sparks households, 0.1% of about 42,400, that heat mainly with wood. In ZIP 89431, the older part of the city with a median home built in 1973, it is about 43 households, 0.3% (ACS 2020-2024). So firewood in Sparks is mostly for ambiance and backup, not the only warmth, and many buyers are likely interested in a small amount. We do not set quantities online. Ask the office what is available. ## A mild winter for a wood stove The Sparks station, at 4,357 feet, records a mean annual temperature of about 53.5 F and only about 6.8 inches of snow a year (NOAA 1991-2020). With winters on the milder side, a household using wood for supplemental heat can plan for a modest supply and ask the office whether a smaller order is possible. ## Making the drive worthwhile The yard is 34.7 miles and about 41 minutes from Sparks without traffic, a free-flow estimate. Call first at [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) so you know what is on hand and what the options are for getting it to your house. ## How should I store a small stack of firewood? Penn State Extension says to keep firewood off the ground on pallets, to cover just the top, and to give the wood 6 to 12 months to dry to about 20% moisture. A small stack on a patio or side yard needs the same treatment as a big one. ## Check the rules before you light it The city of Sparks and Washoe County have their own rules on when and where open burning and wood stoves may be used, and they change with air quality and fire danger. Those rules belong to the agencies, so check with them before the first fire of the season. If you are buying for a fire pit, also check any rules from a homeowners association. Sparks households who burn only occasionally often ask how long a purchase will keep. The answer depends on how it is stored, which is why the stacking advice above matters more for a small, slow-burning supply than for a household that goes through its wood each month. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, table B25040 (house heating fuel), Sparks city and ZCTA5 89431](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Sparks station (USC00267697)](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 41 min 34.7 miles - **Elevation:** 4,413 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7a 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 34% median year built 1993 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).
