Participants will be taken through wood as a material and how it dries, providing a basis for a discussion of kiln schedules, before continuing on to kiln design, operation, and maintenance. Other areas of instruction include stacking, loading, and running the kiln, moisture measurement, plus collecting and interpreting measurements.
