Hi all 

I’m new to this forum, I’ve been on a few times and everyone seems really helpful.

We have two Glen farrow boilers with kilns. We have run them for a few years now, not constant, just when we have logs to dry. I find the tops of the ibc crates we use to dry are nice and dry within a couple of days, but the lower part of the kiln is cool, and the logs are nowhere near ready. The area between the tops of the cages and the top of the kiln is lovely and warm but it’s useless up there. Does anyone have any tips and tricks! I can get the thermometer reading up to 50 degrees but that must be high up. 
Also does anyone manage to keep them running all night when the weather is a bit cooler? I imagine drying logs would be far quicker if the radiator kept the logs warm as it surely takes a while to get heat to the centre of the logs. 
Thanks

Sounds like you need a fan to circulate the heat and maybe a dehumidifier to pullout the moisture........just an idea for someone with no idea[emoji23][emoji23]

Might try those. I’ve wondered about a dehumidifier before but there’s vents so thought I’d end up pulling moisture from outside more than in. Maybe worth hiring one to try and see how it helps. 
cheers for the ideas
