Simple DIY Wood Drying Kiln

Build a low cost DIY wood drying kiln in your garage to dry lumber milled on a sawmill. Milling your own lumber can save you a lot of money, but milling is only half the battle; you still have to dry the wood before you can use it. Lumber for use in indoor projects should be dried to 6 - 8% MC. This video details a means to finish dry lumber after air drying outside to MC 12 - 14%. This design will dry green or air dried lumber. It uses typical household items and low cost material available from any building supply store. Total cost to construct this kiln is under $200. The kiln uses a home dehumidifier, a heat source and a fan to remove moisture from the wood. This design is intended to be constructed inside your garage or other protected space and will dry 400-500 board feet of lumber.
