Kiln Drying Reclaimed Wood: A Key Step to Quality

Kiln drying is the process of drying wood in a controlled environment, where temperature, air circulation and humidity are monitored and stabilized. The wood is slowly dried to a target point, protecting it from checking, warping or cupping. This is an alternative to air-dying the wood, which simply involves stacking the lumber outdoors over a period of time to dry.
