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.

If it dries unevenly or too fast, you can always use the lumber to build
a boat.


Really, if it dries to fast it's garbage isn't it. It usually gets
hardened.. And it may honeycomb.

I prefer working with air dried lumber.
Especially walnut that has not been steamed... It's more beautiful.
