The Forestry Forum

I have about a 1000 bf of barn wood that has power post beatle .  I was think of building a solar kiln, but got to wondering if it would get hot enough to kill them this time of year in central Arkansas.

I also have a chance to get about a 2000 bf of red oak that has been air dryed for 2 plus years. I think it also has PPB in it. I also would like to get the moisture content down in the right range.

Thanks for any any and all help,

Harold
