Rapid Process in Kiln Drying Adapted for Pacific Northwest
The Forest Service reports a rapid kiln drying method for grand fir tested at its Madison laboratory. Green lumber is heated to 225 230 F with live steam for about four hours to prevent surface drying, then humidity drops from 100 percent to 40 percent and later to 30 percent as air circulation continues. Drying completes in 30 to 44 hours with minimal checks and no discoloration, provided proper piling and ventilation are maintained.
