Kilns
« on: March 19, 2013, 05:55:39 PM »
Has anyone built a kiln for drying firewood and used there OWB for the heat source? I am thinking about building one and using my PM 250 for heat. Not shure how economical it would be.

A kiln is a thermally insulated chamber, a type of oven, that produces temperatures sufficient to complete some process, such as hardening, drying, or chemical changes. Various industries and trades use kilns to harden objects made from clay into pottery, bricks etc. Various industries use rotary kilns for processing to calcinate ores, produce cement, lime, and many other materials.

Hey Coolidge it's me Richard, I do have a customer in Mass that bought one of my show boilers I think 2 years ago for just that purpose. Last I heard it worked out well, he used an insulated shipping container and hot air units. Call me or come on down and we can contact him for advise.
