DIY Drying Kiln Build Guide

Almost any closed structure can be used. Existing buildings, larger container or containers attached to each other.

Our system example utilises a standard 20ft ISO container, and, with minimum modifications, it can turn it into an efficient log drying machine. Almost any closed structure can be used. Existing buildings,
larger containers or containers attached to each other.
Simply by attaching a wood fuelled blown air heater to of the container, which can blow heated air to temperatures of over 90oc, drying split logs quickly and efficiently.
The Zero Wood Heater sucks air from inside the
the drying chamber and then heats it and blows it into the top of the chamber.
• Total loss. We have many customers who produce heat which is pushed into the drying chamber and picked up moisture, then allowed to leave to atmosphere via flaps or doors.
• Recirculation system. The heated air is allowed to recirculate. The heated air is blown into the drying chamber, circulated then returned to the Zero Wood Heater creating a circuit.
