How long would it take to dry 400 bdf CVG Douglas Fir in a DH kiln. Boards would be 8/4 X 6" and 8 feet long, end coated. What would be the best starting temperature?

As long as it takes, Steve. ;D In all seriousness, it could well be a week.
I have never dried any, but what you brought a few days ago. I got the new needles for the tester today and will test them again tomorrow. I will let you know what the level of moisture is on the morrow's reading. ;D
Oh, by the way, when will you be able to get the four gallons of paint here? 8)
Not 4 gallons,------ 4 each four gallon buckets i.e. 16 gallons and I thought you wanted 8 buckets if I can get them? How many acres are you going to paint?
When I get there!
I'm low bidder on the fir at $2.75 / ft. Oops!
