I have been milling and drying my own wood for use in my cabinet shop. I have a problem with wood picking back up moisture as it is stored for any period of time longer than 2-3 months. I am considering selling wood to local craftsmen on a retail level and I will need to store woods longer than this. Just interested in how all you others are keeping your wood dry. I know that I can keep my storage area temps around 20 degrees above the morning temperatures, but thats not practical for a "showroom" when during the summer it may not drop below 70 degrees around here. Thanks for any help.
Drop $1000-2000 on an appropriately sized commercial dehumidifier with a pump to send the condensate outside or down the drain. Ebac makes really nice ones. I have an older CD100 that I scored on Ebay for $600. Sometimes I use it to finish drying ERC if I'm gonna use it for something indoors
