kiln temperature questions

[Joey Grimes]

I loaded about 600 bf of air dry 9/4 maple slabs set dB 110 wb 98 after 24 hr it started removing water for a few hours then the temp went past 110 the power vent turned on lowered temp now I can't get compressor to run without raising the dB temp ??

Sounds like you ran out of free water and will need 120+ to remove the bound water. If you were getting water out at 110, there was some wet wood in that predried wood.
