Kiln drying?
« on: August 06, 2004, 04:01:55 pm »
I have a few red oak logs that I cut early last year, the bark is still on them and they were end coated with Anchor seal. Can I add the boards from these logs with freshly cut green red oak lumber that I'm cutting now and dry them all at the same time in the DH kiln? It will all be milled 4/4 if that matters. Thanks!

Yes you can. The MC won't vary much more than normal. The danger in mixing MC in a DH or conventional kiln is that you will put water back into the dryer boards. If they have small checks, they will swell and tear the check deeper.
