750 board feet solar Kiln Drying
The enclosed plans provide a basic blueprint for a small solar lumber dry kiln. The kiln will hold approximately 750 board feet of 4/4-inch lumber, although this capacity can vary significantly depending upon lumber and sticker thickness. Be aware that solar kilns only operate effectively during the summer months in northern climates. They can work for the hobby woodworker but are not dependable for larger manufacturing operations. If you require a steady material flow, you may want to consider a more conventional kiln design.
