The kiln they use is usually just a giant plywood box warmed by a propane fire.<BR/><BR/>The heat vent is not a bad idea - I could park the wood caddy in front of one. I'm tempted to get an axe and start splitting up these logs smaller.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526470032837468393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453315942766344869.post-71178199848760581862009-02-04T10:37:00.000-05:002009-02-04T10:37:00.000-05:00The interior decor feature wainscoting is derived ...The interior decor feature wainscoting is derived from the practice of stacking split firewood vertically against the wall in kitchens to dry before use. As the earliest, driest wood was burned it was replaced with cold, wet wood from outdoors. This was typically done in kitchens, where there was heat for much of the day. The practice also meant that the kitchen was where all of the dirt and bugs in the house originated. I suppose you could stack your firewood against the furnace to dry it but I doubt that meets building codes. On top of a hot air vent would work as well. It'll dry out a piano in no time.RossinDetroithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240102870398060564noreply@blogger.com
