Drying white ash in my garage

[Edvantage]

I milled 200 white ash 2x6 8 footers for my log home loft floor. I priced having it kiln dried but was out of my budget. I have a small heated garage I'm attemting to dry these in. It's running about 85 degrees at 40% humidity with a small dehumidifier and several box fans to move air. Does this sound reasonable? Any guess on how long this might take? I'm afraid the price of propane might make this a losing proposition.

I did that as well, once.
In a 40' seacon, with oak.
The hot humid air was so acidic that it rusted the pith off some tools and a snowblower.
Were air drying outdoors under a raincap now.
By the way, very nice sticker, stack and strap ! Looking good.

I agree, nice stickering job.
IMO kiln drying would be well worth it, preventing problems down the rd.
costs about $.40 per bd ft here.
As for your drying method, I did 4/4 air dried to 12- 13 percent down to 6 percent in about 2 to 2-1/2 weeks with a tight home made dehum kiln.
If you are from green, 8/4 will take a long time.
Maybe Doc Wengert will chime in with his expertise.

I could handle 40 cents. They wanted 80 cents which I thought was too much. But I might not win as my garage furnace is propane and going non stop might get expensive.
