Building a Solar Kiln with Green Wood - Part 7 - Baffle System 

Great job, Andrew...so interesting how you have that working!! 👏👏👏❤👍

Good idea hadn't thought those types of fans.

Lumber is what your drying. Wood is what is in the log. Looks good to me👍styrene foam insulation would hold heat better. Plus a great starter planting green house. Good job. You also attach a chicken coop use the venting the heat to keep the chickens warm. Or as a defrosting LOL!!!

Just watch the series. It's a bit of a cliffhanger! How about an update on performance, modifications, things you would do differently?

I like watching the videos well done . I’m curious how the floor does as it dries . I will definitely keep watching to learn more on the temp in the kiln . Enjoy your son everyday . He is learning believe me .

Solid. exact types of videos I was looking for. thanks boss.

Nice job. Just subscribed , will be building 1 this late spring.

Va quedando linda la construcción

Well done I like what I see

I’ve been following along, great job!! This is going to be one of my first projects!! (That and an outhouse! Lol) Just got my mill set up and learning how to see wood differently.

Tell your little girl she gets (A+) for being Dad's helper from a retyred shop teacher of 27 years in the middle school and 2 years in HS. you can get ancho seal through Amazon water born wax to seal the end grain and reduce splitting when drying.

Nice job

Fantastic job! I would love to know your thoughts and lessons learned after using this kiln for a year. Thanks

I just started watching, (10-19-21). Good job on the kiln. Do you have any update/progress report on how the kiln has worked so far?

Part 8 pls pls

Hey Andrew, I'm glad I found your videos. I'll be building a solar kiln with green wood this summer. Do you have any plans or did you just go by the Virginia Tech plans? Do you have links for the fans and solar charger? Thanks!

Any updates on how the kiln is working for you? I'm thinking of trying something like this, but I just have an Alaska mill, so it would take me a lot longer to mill the lumber.

Nice work Andrew, how is the kiln working out, any updates...can you please put links to the fans you use....thx

Thank you for the video. How have your fans held up? Since building your kiln is there anything you would have done differently?

Nice work! Question, why use fans to blow are in, why not put them at the bottom and use them as true exhaust fans to pull air through from top to bottom and exhaust out? So vents at the top, fans at the bottom? I'm planning to build one myself and struggling to understand why everyone is using them to push air in. Thanks!

Thanks looks great. Will be making mine version soon. Fans..... do you have a link to what make/model they are? Thanks again

How is it working? Are the radiator fans working out for you. In the process of building my own.

What size solar panels did you use and how many batteries? How long will the fans run on the batteries?

Nice video series - but where's part 8? ;-)

Watching this, I wonder if two fans are enough. Do you thins there would be benefit in adding an additional fan or two?

Do you have a resource for your fans, solar panel? How have they held up this far, getting ready to install my baffler system and I dont generally like the box fan setup, Im really interested in the way you did this. Great idea.

What are the dimensions of the Kiln? Nice looking set up.
