I don't know anything about it but it is apparently a tiny DH kiln and I mean tiny. They say that they have 2000 and 4000 watt models. That isn't much. If you dry 1000Bf of red oak from 70% to 8%, you need about 661,000 watts! It obviously doesn't hold a 1000Bf but this gives you an idea of what 4000 watts can do. Also, the split logs are misleading unless they are selling it as a firewood kiln.

Knot impressed. for that you might as well build an insulated plywood box and put a little space heater in it...

wasn't kidding..lots of guys that turn need to dry burls and odd ball chunks of wood, they build an insulated plywood box, ventilate it and add heat...just have to keep the heat low enough to prevent excess checking..
