I assume the kiln is small, I mean like not big enough for 8' ft planks. Probably the sizes that would fit your kiln would fit in an oven.
Kiln drying requires a low heat and moving air to carry the moisture away. It's much faster than air drying and the time varies with the species. The finish moisture content also depends on what the wood is going to be used for.

If you've got the time you could hammer out some really cool hardware for your kids toy chest. But if you have a kid with a toy chest you probably don't have the time.

Sharpen up your jackknife and you can whittle yourself a chair for the grandchildren to fight over when you're dead. Use the chips to heat a cuppa.

Sure. You could do that.
Nobody else does that because it makes no economic sense, but firewood is probably entertainment for you instead of a source of heat. Normal economic rules don't apply. Entertainment is frivolous by its very nature. |
