Mid winter firewood kiln run update

Today’s video from the WoodchuckCanuck YouTube channel offers a status report on a firewood kiln drying project.

Despite freezing outdoor temperatures and biting winds, Jim explains that the dehumidification process is nearing completion. Although the internal kiln temperature is dropping because the heater has been deactivated, moisture continues to drain steadily from the wood. Recent measurements indicate that the moisture content has dropped significantly from its initial high levels over the past five days. Jim concludes by predicting when the drying cycle will likely finish. This update serves as a practical look at managing hardwood firewood seasoning during harsh winter conditions.
