Air Flow Consideration

When drying lumber it is very important to have proper airflow through you drying chamber. This will allow your lumber to not only dry faster but also more evenly. Lumber that starts out at a higher moisture content will need more airflow through the chamber. Considerations when making sure you have enough airflow are chamber size, amount of lumber, species and the type of drying chamber you are using. Please comment if you have any questions and I would be happy to help with sizing.

    This is good info, presented in simple and clear every-day language.

    Could there be a chart or table which could tell the relationship between temperature, airflow and humidity when drying wood in a kiln? i would be grateful for this info!!
