Build a Proven 5,000-Board-Foot Container Kiln for Lumber or Fast 4-7 Cord Firewood Drying Our 5,000 BF container kiln is built around a standard 40-foot high-cube aluminum shipping container or refrigerated van—an evolution of the original 15,000 BF kiln we designed in 1992 that delivered outstanding performance. As a firewood kiln, it holds roughly 4 to 7 cords and loads easily using IBC tote baskets and a simple rail system. Heat-treat cycles can be completed in just a few days, depending on your heat source. Dump firewood from your processor direct into baskets ready for kiln drying.This system introduced several industry-first innovations, including a furnace-type direct-fired heat pipe and a Conifer sawdust burner. Today, you can choose from multiple heating options such as a wood-fired water stove, gas boiler, indirect wood-fired heat pipe, or even a gas turbine.DIY fan packages start at sixteen thousand dollars.Contact us for plans, parts, consulting, or turnkey builds.Firewood Dry Kiln Wood Heat Options by Global Energy Sample Plans of the 5000 to 15000 BF Container Lumber Kiln by Global Energy |

Scale Up with the 15,000-Board-Foot Container Kiln System or 14 Cord Firewood Kiln Our 15,000 BF container kiln is built using two 40-foot high-cube aluminum shipping containers or insulated refrigerated vans set side by side. This design traces back to the original 1992 kiln—a 15,000 BF unit constructed from used high-cube containers that delivered exceptional performance and set the standard for modern container kilns.As a firewood kiln, the system accommodates approximately 7 to 14 cords. Using a forklift, operators can load IBC tote baskets onto a simple rail system for fast, efficient handling. Depending on your chosen heat source, heat-treat cycles can be completed in just a few days.Heating options include a wood-fired water stove, gas boiler, indirect wood-fired heat pipe, or even a gas turbine.DIY fan kits start at $32,000.The original 1992 build introduced several groundbreaking innovations, including a sixteen-inch stainless direct-fired heat pipe and a Conifer sawdust burner—features that helped define this kiln as a proven workhorse for lumber and firewood producers. |

Efficient Firewood Kiln Design for Hardwood Drying and ISPM-15 Heat Treatment Certification to Eliminate any Insects Drying firewood efficiently requires a careful balance of airflow, temperature, and heat source economy. For hardwoods such as oak, the objective is to reach a final moisture content below 10% while maintaining conditions suitable for ISPM 15 heat treatment (minimum 56 °C / 133 °F core temperature for at least 30 minutes).By combining strong forced airflow, controlled heat application, and proper wood arrangement, kiln operators can significantly reduce drying times while minimizing fuel costs.Efficient Firewood Kiln Design for Hardwood Drying and ISPM-15 Certification |
