Part 1 - This kiln can hold 16ft long lumber and has a 4ft H x 4ft W chamber. I reused a bunch of 2.5" foam board I had, along with lumber from a metal roofing pallet to make the majority of it. It will get to 110 degrees F with just a small dehumidifier running. A tiny personal heater can easily heat the chamber to over 150 degrees for sanitizing lumber.
After milling some giant buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) I wanted to test drying it, so I loaded up the kiln with a bunch of silver maple and Osage orange that I am using for a treehouse project. This is not a video on how to dry wood, it is just a tour of my setup...in fact there are many things in the video you shouldn't do to get the best results, but I am experimenting and the wood being used is for a treehouse and not furniture. I will have follow-up videos that show how well the buckthorn dried, and how well it finishes.
