I'm excited for y'all. Looking forward to having someone close with one (Just Right) so I can use them at my leisure.

Currently we're selling it for $3000, but I have to say the slabs and lumber we've been seeing out of kilns are really flat without it.

Thanks south side. It's a new model they have so there is not much out there that I can find. It is a discontinuous vacuum kiln.
The iDRY is a continuous vacuum kiln that operates at a pressure similar to the top of Mt Everest, so there is still enough air to push around with the fan to heat.

I wonder if the 1 week per inch rule is with air dried wood or green?  
I think the price tag is reasonable.
Sure would like to hear feedback from some already in use.
1 week per inch is our estimate for green.  We're drying air dried faster depending on the actual initial moisture content, species and thickness.

Hi Jim,
I understand from Mark that my unit is scheduled to ship on approximately Nov. 9th.  One day before my birthday, so this will be a really big present to myself.

Just Right

Custom Sawyer-   I am glad you feel that way.  I may rent you to unload it for me when I get back with it.
If you are enjoying what you are doing,  is it still work?

Looks very likely I'll be ordering mine in the next couple weeks. Just finalizing a few minor details... like where to put it.

It's a done deal. Expecting mine to deliver sometime in January. It's going to be hard displaying excitement for my Christmas gifts knowing this thing is weeks away.  :snowball:

please excuse me if this was covered earlier in this thread......But I went to the i-dry website last night and saw they have two new (larger) models coming in 2019.  The "Plus" model and the "Turbo" model.  Says price TBD.

Does anyone have more to add?

We are expecting deliver either Friday or Saturday.  
Etex I saw the new models and wish I knew they were coming before I ordered the standard idry. The one issue I have with the I dry is the size limitations. They have a model that will do 60inx 17' coming. That size increase opens a while lot more business for us

I was told today that they should have pricing later this week.  He gave me rough price ranges, but I'll let Jim post those.

I have been thinking the same thing. I believe that there is a shortage of kiln space. If I'm right I should be able to fill the smaller kiln and then add the larger kiln as the need arises. 48" is still a good size. I like the idea of the length increase.

Do you have your new kiln? Happy Birthday!

YellowHammer

The newer units have twice the capacity, twice the length, at the same published power consumption, and the turbo has twice the speed.



YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Be smarter than the sawdust

twice the capacity, but not twice the length, 17' and 21' versus 13'
