Thanks to everyone who responded to this crazy plan. If I actually get up
the nerve to try this I will post the results. It looks like the concensus
is that a microwave is the way to go for small loads of wood.
Thanks again Lyndell

I know it sounds crazy but othere than getting kicked out of the house by
SWMBO....................I don't see why it would not work. I did the math
and and it looks like it would run for $3.74 per hour @ my electric rates.
I am not talking about a lot of wood here, just a few pieces to turn or
maybe sheet or two of veneer. The stationary rack is about 24"long and 16"
wide. They kiln dry here for about 30 cents a board foot, but won't fool
with a few pen blanks or similiar. Just curious.....cuz I hate to be the
first fool to try this and tear up the dryer or worse......burn down the
house! It was time for an upgrade and we did the HE4 washer and dryer from
kenmore. They sat here about a year due to deaths in the family & you name
it. Got them in last weekend and thought about this. All comments pro and
con welcome. Really hoping to hear from Arch on this one as he says Turn
To Safety. :-)
Thanks Lyndell
