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.
I figure I can season fresh wood, for use as fire wood, by kiln drying it? Good point about the air circulation, though. Not sure how I'd accomplish that.

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.
