We have a heated concrete slab floor, and are thinking of having a go at drying woodchip on it, probably not very deep as space is not an issue, hopefully enabling the chip to breathe sufficiently. Has anyone had a go at this? If so what were your findings?

Why not season before you chip your wood or is it arb waste chip?

Our chip doesn't lose much moisture in our unheated shed but you have the advantage of heat so worth a go I would think. On the rare occasions I've had room to turn it the surface dries presumably by air movement but the bulk seems virtually unchanged. If you could get air through it I expect that would be best.

We found that without forcing air through the chip it just starts to compost. It might work with a very thin layer but I would think that you'll need air flow and heat.
