Title: drying spruce in a vacuum kiln

How fast could you dry 2" sitka spruce in your vac kiln with minimal degrade?

Thank you
Craig

Den will be out for another week for some long-put-off R&R.

2" of pretty much any softwood is a breeze, 24-48 hours would be a good estimate.  I know we've done thinner and thicker stock, but not sure exactly about the 8/4...
