The IDRY Vacuum kiln does a very nice job of drying lumber, however all wood is susceptible to warping, cracking, splitting, and twisting during the drying process. Lumber owner accepts this risk.
The kiln drying target we try to achieve is 8 to 10 percent moisture content measured by a Delmhurst moisture meter reading taken at the time lumber is removed from drying. Some variation is normal in lumber. A specific moisture content target can be requested.
For lumber thicker than 2”, drying rates will be;
$0.15 per board foot per day in the kiln. For thick lumber drying projects greater than 500 board ft. $.12 per board ft. Per day. For drying projects greater than 1000 board ft. $.10 per bf per day in kiln.
