This log was so large it had to be quartered with a chain saw before milling. The labels will allow the wood- worker to piece it back into its original form. conventional atmospheric kilns (such as solar, dehumidi- fication, and steam kilns), it moves out of the wood much more quickly without creating the moisture gradi- ent that causes warpage, splitting, and case-hardening. The kiln starts out around 100°F and ramps up as the wood dries, finishing around 160°F, which is more than hot enough to kill any bugs in the wood. “We are well above the standards for sanitizing wood,” Jim noted. “I was interested in kiln drying because I was build- ing a lot of furniture,” explained Jesse. “I couldn’t get consistent kiln-dried wood, which caused problems after the furniture was built. You can build a $10,000 table and then after a year, cracks open up and the boards move.” The only way to produce quality furniture was to take control over the drying process. Jesse says he looked into building his own kiln, but when he looked at the numbers, the low operating cost of the iDry kiln, the quality of the wood, and the fast drying time made it a better option. “This kiln compresses the drying time [4/4 oak fresh off the mill] down to a week. Compare that with air drying for a year, then putting it in a con- ventional kiln for another 30 days,” he concluded. After unloading my lumber from the truck, Jesse gave me a tour of his facility. Although he had purchased two iDry kilns just three months ago, he is already looking into adding two more to double his production. The kiln itself looks like a big shipping container with the con- Jesse Lamborn shows the inner workings of the iDry kiln. According to Jesse, the automated unit pretty much runs itself once it has been loaded and the thickness of the wood has been entered. May/June 2019 • 11PDF Image | iDry Vacuum Kiln
