The person who runs the sawmill is the Sawyer.
What do you call the person who runs the kiln? Was wondering if you had a fancy name like Kilnyer or something. Just wondering.

I'm sure glad to find that the title of this thread is related to "question" rather than some other "Q" things I could imagine.

How 'bout "Engineer"? That's the title that corporate and local Governments use when they don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.

How about a "HOT AIR TECHNICIAN". From what i've read on this sight we have quite a few of them here, myself included.

In french the word for water is 'eau' so that would mean that a kiln operator would be a .... de eau dorisor.

Buzz,
I think the VAC kiln guys would be the sucker ones.

I just wanted to be correct when I addressed water removal specialist if there was an offical title.

Some folks asked me at church what I did for a living. Told them I was a Sawyer. The lady said "that's nice, how long was law school?" Told her I did not know but the next time I sawed for a Lawyer I would ask them.

I ain't got no fresh ideas at this time of night. But my wife tells me that where she works they are now calling the janitors "Environmental Specialists."

When I operated RF/V kilns I was called an RF,er.
When those old smoke and fire kilns ran well with good results I was called a good RF,er.
When we went through many $10,000 dollar tubes a year and didnt get good results I was just called an RF,er.
Since this is a family fourm I wont tell you what "RF" really stands for!

When I took over the hot water vacuum kiln operation I was just called "crazy"!

And of course I suppose the men who worked for me had other handles for me as well!
When I walked away from the whole mess after 18 years I was called "smart"
Best name for a kiln-o-man that I have ever heard.
