Our kiln gives you the quickest, highest quality drying available. We can dry up to 4000bf of 1" dimensional lumber and around 2000bf of slabs 60" wide and 16' long. Dry times are approximately one week per inch of thickness.
For dimensional lumber we charge $1 per bf for up to 5/4" thick, $2 per bf for up to 10/4" thick, $3 per bf for up to 12/4" thick. Live edge slabs we charge additional $.50 per board foot
Our lead times are 3-6 weeks until it can be loaded into the kiln. Then it's 1-4 weeks of dry time depending on the thickness and species.
While air drying as long as possible first is most ideal, it's not necessary. We can dry freshly sawn lumber.
If you're doing a large quantity of drying it would be best to have the wood already stacked with spacers. Stack consistent lengths together starting with the longest wood on the bottom. stacks need to be no wider than 60" wide, 16.5' long and 60" tall. 1" lumber should have spacers spaced every 1' and slabs spaced every 2'. We can bunk larger quantities of wood for you for additional charge.
