big j did a video of his kiln I think it was in the milling forum

 

 

I had a bash with a small fridge body (came off a transit) it worked but was not cost effective due to not being able to get enough wood in! it did work just needs to be a bigger body off a 20 toner or artic ( I need a bigger yard to fit one in)

its an interesting subject this, I am doing quite a lot of work with a biomass boiler install company at the moment, I am looking at making a kiln for drying both firewood for myself and milled timber for jobs. I am having a biomass boiler fitted to heat my house and a bungalow behind, if i put the kiln on i will also be able to claim RHI payments for that too :)

My kiln plan (which is in my head) is based on a woodmizer modular kiln system, but instead of using 3 phase electric heaters i am going to try and use heat exchangers run from the gasifiation boiler. a clever but cost effective electrics system to control temperature and humidity.

will make post on here when i get a bit further on with the project

PS if anyone is interested in a cost for a log gasification / chip / pellet boiler PM me.
