Firewood kiln run completed

Today’s video details our firewood drying operation where the kiln run has just concluded during this winter. Jim evaluates energy consumption and costs, noting that drying two cords of wood cost in electricity.

Technical data such as humidity levels, temperatures, and moisture extraction are tracked to assess the efficiency of the dehumidifiers. He also explores logistical challenges, including managing snow during the splitting process and selecting appropriate winter gear for outdoor work. Future improvements are considered, specifically the potential installation of an outdoor wood boiler to replace electric heating elements. Ultimately, the documentation serves as an economic and mechanical review of processing and drying firewood for home heating in Nova Scotia.
