No luck finding a local kiln so I have decided to build a dehumidifier kiln that will reside in my basement shop. In essence, it will be a 2x2x8 box o f 1/2 inch osb board with a fan on one end and the dehumidifier on the othe r. Question about heat source: will a small ceramic heater be sufficient? I also will get a thermostat device to control the temperature. What temp should I shoot for during initial drying (want to kill any remaining critt ers). I want to avoid checking and will seal the ends.
As always, your good counsel is appreciated!
