I'm going to make an insulated solar kiln to dry out 6 -8 foot stock. Any advice. It's just going to be an insulated box with repurposed house windows tilted at 45 degrees (Wisconsin) and a small fan to circulate air. Any important things I need to keep in mind? Thanks.

Might not need a fan to circulate the air. Tilt the kiln about 30 degrees, make a small vent at the upper end and the warmer air should rise to and out the vent. Screen the vents to keep any bugs, especially wasps, out.
