Youtube is a great source of info and has some neat pics,,, ;D ;D    On the forestry forum, we have so many over- achievers it's hard to find something that my limited skills can actually build!! :snowball:

Allan,
SW Missouri is a very good location for a solar kiln.  Since 1978, when I developed the the VT kiln,  over 1000 kilns using the VT design have been constructed.  How close are you to Branson?  I do get to that area from time to time.
