Hi Matt
Do you mind telling me more about your kiln.I have an 8ft x4ft x4ft insulated box which used to house the Logosol sauno
It Is now empty and I intend to turn it into a more conventional kiln.I have a fan heater with a seperate controlfor temp and can't make up my mind wether to go for a dehumidifier or what
any advice would be a great help
cheers
