Does anyone on here only dry wood?  or does a majority or people have the mobile sawmill mill business with a small kiln?  Just curious about peoples setup.  From what I read I think most of you have a sawmill business with a small DH kiln or solar.

we do sawing..  kilndrying (15,000 b.f. cap.) full reman shop. 4 sided planer 6x18 cap. (80sfm) straightline gang rip saw. 3x14 cap.(200 sfm) 5 head moulder 4x9 cap. 80sfm 25 inch wide belt sander. fruilmac endmatcher upto 8" wide  1000 sq.ft /hr cap. on average we will process thru the shop per week around 6-9000 b.f.
the comments iv'e heard from customers with us its one stop shopping. who likes hauling wood around? iv'e got a friend 10 miles away, all he does is dry only. he dosent get much work. mainly people dont want to haul their stuff around.

That sounds like a nice setup.  How busy do  you stay?  Do you offer mobile cutting or mainly people bring it to you for a one stop experience?

the shop is nice.
right now we are running a 4 week lead time. we do alot of work for other companies that supply the material.we also sell alot of finished products that we make

Sounds like you made the right contacts and are doing very well.  how long have you been in business?

been going now 16 yrs.
