Yes I am drying it. *But how to get rid of the bugs?
Heat will kill 'em and the eggs. Most kiln drying schedules
finish off with a few hours at/above 180 F (82 C), which is
achievable with a homebrew steam box.
The insects will crawl out before it reaches that temperature,
but you need to kill the eggs, too (powder-post beetle
is a particular concern).
