Kiln Building – loading door

The kiln building is almost complete now. With the kiln floor in place, testing of the drawbridge style loading door has been met with success in its initial testing.

With the door at the bottom position, it is ready for test loading.

The kiln building has room for 4 rolling carts.

Ideally the carts should be made of something more durable, like steel, galvanized steel or stainless steel for longevity. For now, wooden frames will have to do. The cast steel wheels are v-grooved, allowing them to roll along an angle iron track.

We will be using the kiln to dry lumber…

and firewood, or anything else that needs drying.
