Hi
New here
We were thinking of getting the Logosol drying unit (WDK) with the tent setup (WDU) to use outside.. My guess is the tent will not be as well insulated as a self built insulated box and that the main drawback with this would be increased energy running cost particularly during the winter. We’re attracted by the lightweight design + not really got the time to build a dedicated box at the moment. Hoping to kiln dry previously air dried lumber at roughly 14% down to roughly 10% for use in furniture construction - mainly oak.. Wondering whether anybody has run one of the logosol units (WDK) with the tent rig (WDU) and if so what there experience has been? Logosol were helpful on the phone but first hand knowledge is always preferable..
Thanks..

.. wrapping the tent in extra insulation.. - exactly my thinking! Apparently it really needs to be outdoors to vent moist air. I had an insulated box type kiln 25 years ago run off an ebac industrial dehumidifier - It worked pretty well but that door sure was heavy to lift and there was certainly no moving the kiln from it's fixed position. I definitely see the advantage of a lightweight setup but accept that the tent structure represents a compromise regarding insulation.
