Kiln near Hereford

[TMJ]

I am cutting oak boards at the moment and will air dry them to start. However, it would be nice to lay them before next winter. Can anyone point me in the direction of a kiln near Hereford? (I am getting a bit disappointed by hearing 'No ...sorry...it all comes from France now ..' )

Do you have scope to make your own?

 

There is a thread on here with "how to" instructions

Pontrilas Timber have a MA-HOOSIVE kiln.... they may let you slip in with one of their bakes..... Imagine it will be all softwood going through though so perhaps not the ideal cooking conditions for hardwood ...?

The other people who might have something would be Good Brothers at Mortimers Cross or Kingsland Sawmills. Not sure how they'd feel about sharing though if they do have their own kilns though.

Still, don't ask, don't get!

Don't know anyone else myself....

Kiln construction is very easy, albeit oak is a pain to dry. Might be worth building your own - I wrote a fairly long thread detailing how

[TMJ]

Kingsland Sawmills - thought they were construction only..will try them though

Good Bros - great flooring there but no kiln

Pontrilas - intimidating place... Not sure if they want to know about requests from an individual. Will ask though.

 

Building my own?? Yes I have seen the thread. Very interesting but most of what i have got planned can wait and dry slowly . I just have a need to get some done quickly/quicker.

Kiln there ...but does not open it to others.

Kingsland - construction. No kiln.

 

mmm. Oh well. The suggestions were appreciated.

I'll ask my oak man, he's phoning me back later this afternoon with a price for something....

Have you tried Ranould at Onibury near craven arms ?
