I for one don't think you guys are NUTZ!
Maybe that just makes me NUTZ as well, but I really DO like the concept. I really hate to see ya give it up, but without actually seeing you all do it, I guess it's a hard call for me to understand what you have to do to make it work. :

Furby, I know Harold personally. HE'S NUTZ! ;D ;D Somehow, that don't keep him from being a fine feller, a great innovator and a hard worker, though. He ain't so NUTZ that he don't stay on the boat while pore ol' Ed goes into the cold water with the gators and snakes, though. :D :D :D

Is that why FDH has been wearing that ugly cammo hat ? Hiding from ED.... and here I thought he was just trying to get used to all that CR jungle.

QuoteHe ain't so NUTZ that he don't stay on the boat while pore ol' Ed goes into the cold water with the gators and snakes, though.

There is a difference between being NUTZ and being STUPID !

Ok. Problem with tuning in very very late, is that I have no idea of what it is exactly that you have. Is it an old oil tank? If so, do you know anyone in the Staunton, Charlottesville, lexington, Harrisonburg area of VA that wants one? I've got a 1000 gallon one. I have another question for you out there. I inherited a 30 foot greenhouse and wanted to dry wood in it. Any ideas? I have been using green poplar to build a barn/workshop but would like to use some of the wood for indoor shelving. Thanks, HB

old-hb, covered with black plastic, that would male a right smart collector. Check out to thread on Solar Kiln on this forum.

HB, we are discussing an old Propane Tank. It is ¼" thick steel, and should take a pretty good Vacuum pull, without collapsing. Wood in a Vacuum will dry without much degrade, due to the heat being lower while the wood is wet.

Thanks, It did look like a tank of some sort. In my mountain place, we had a 1000 gal. oil tank which only heated a run down boiler. I stopped using it four years ago and use propane instead. I'd love to get rid of the oil tank.
I've used green poplar to build me a workshop and carport but the mill which provides me with the wood (CHEAP) also has green ash, walnut, oak and occasionally cherry. I'd love to use that for some indoor projects but don't have a place to dry the wood. Always looking for some means of using the green wood. I'll try draping black plastic over my green house and maybe installing some fans to drive out the moisture.

FD, I know I read some place on here that you was ~~scrounging~~ looking around for parts to get that kiln made in CR. I don't have any leads for parts and such, but was wondering about some follow up on your progress. Be nice to set some of that Pilón you been sawing into it, eh? ;D 8)

SD, I located the perfect thing. Time, money, and too many projects are keeping me from proceeding. Fred and I talked about doing the Vacuum Kiln, but, we never got to it.
