Welcome the the Forestry Forum. How about we start off with a little teasing?
What are you wanting to collect? I can give you the directions on how to make one out of cardboard and aluminum foil that will cook a hotdog like I made in scouts.

Welcome millwright, Could you tell us a little bit about yourself your wood plans and where you are located if possible? I just finished my kiln about a month ago and its doing real good. I used some of the ideas in this plan. Good luck, bg

Im located in upper wisconsin and have worked in the woods and wood products area for about 35 years.  I currently have 2 woodmizers an older Lt 30 and an Lt 35  and I am starting to get into planing and moulding thus the need for the kiln. I will check out the info on some of the forum sites thanks again.
