Purchasing high quality stickers is long overdue for me. I've had enough of my homemade warped drying stickers and am looking to purchase fluted, spiral, or otherwise high-quality kiln sticks that are consistent thickness and won't leave stains. Looking for recommendations on where to purchase. Thanks.

I have heard good things about the Breez-Dried stickers

A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

US coatings (distributors of anchor seal) now carries smaller bundles than are required to purchase from the manufacturer for Breez dried.  I think @YellowHammer and @customsawyer have experience with the stickers.  I think Robert buys them outright, and Jake may have obtained his from his prev. employer.

I think it was just before Covid I was planning to get the spiral type stickes like the Breeze.  There was another outfit making them in Tennesee if I remember correctly.  I was planning to go there to pick up a pallet of them, but I wanted to find someone that also wanted them so I could pick up more at once and split the travel costs.  It never happened though.  I can't find the contact.  But maybe someone else here has it?

Nevermind, I found it.  Has anyone here used their sticks? Their location might be more convenient for some to mitigate the shipping cost.

Anything someone can design, I can sure figure out how to fix!
If I say it\\\\\\\'s going to take so long, multiply that by at least 3!

I have been buying mine from Kelvin at Kilnsticks for many years, he's a good guy, even if he is from Tennessee, tell him you know me if you want.  Same place as Brad's link below.

YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Be smarter than the sawdust

I got a 20' trailer load of them from the big mill i used to cut for. They used 6' stickers in a automated system. When the stickers would get broken a little they would just chip them up. I parked my trailer and asked them to put them on it. It worked great for my set up, as there is both fluted and flat stickers. I use the fluted on my hardwoods but find they can leave indention in the soft woods towards the bottom of the stacks. So I use the flat ones on soft wood and fluted on hardwood.
