Great videos. Im watching them from the beginning after jumping around a bit. Forgive me if I'm being thick and missed it, but where is all the air coming from? I see where it's all going. I understand the funace heats the air and that gets blown into the kiln chamber and exhausted through the door vents. Now that you put the personnel door on the furnace room where does the furnace draw fresh air from. I dont see an intake into the chamber, just the one on the furnace which appears to be drawing from that room. Thanks.
Your videos have provided wonderful information while I'm researching for my kiln build! My thoughts were to use a high cube same as yours but no vents and using a dehumidifier to remove the moisture. I would be curious to see if the burner would require less wood as you would be losing less heat from your vents? However, when the wood is free and not much of a burden to load into the burner, may not be worth the cost of the dehumidifier.
Also as you are adding more hot air volume you NEED vents, It needs to go somewhere. With a wet system boiler and a heat exchanger you can block it off and use a dehumidifier
@@oakfarmfirewood my kindling I cut at 30cm or 1 foot.. but we don't have anything like you guys have (machine weise).. we basically stand at the splitter and split planks then split down to kindling size.. your way is way more productive then ours... as for stove wood we can do up to 3 full cords per hour.. or 9 IBC totes
That is a nice kiln set up you have! Great video of showing the kiln setup.

I'm really liking these videos.. very informative and interesting the way you guys do firewood... here in Canada 🇨🇦 it's very different

Awwome buddy, looks good!
Hi, can I know how much volume in terms of cubic meter space are available in your kiln. Thank you
Hi Archie, another great video.
Just one question about your moisture tester in the kiln?
Do you support any particular make please
I got them off Amazon. They are alright, I don’t no how accurate they are but it’s something to go off “Brifit Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer”
Here in Canada the measurements for stove wood is 16 inch or 40.64 cm.. anything else is considered custom cut..
That would be a dream. I bet it does not take long to get through timber. Going from 25cm logs to 15cm kindling makes a massive difference in speed

Impressive yes this machine can do 4 ibc an hour 5 in the right wood and another person moving cages and loading wood etc
Hi Archie, Do you think the kiln would be too noisy to be about 20m away from a house? The blower would be in a 10ft conny. Cheers
The blower makes most of the noise so if that’s in a container it won’t be so bad i I don’t think
Hi mate do you put wet wood straight into kiln then??
Yes the kiln. If you mean the burner no, that needs dry wood
Great Video ! Could you tell me when you stack the IBC bins two high is it awkward to avoid hitting the duct pipes on the roof of the kiln ?
Yes hence why I just run it single layer.
Do you have any issues with the floor coroding?
No it’s all aluminium
Hi Archie, what humidity monitor are you using, I can’t seem to find one that lasts
Keep up the good work!
Found on Amazon. They seem alright not sure how accurate but something to go off. “Brifit Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer”
are you able to double stack the whole container?
They are inch’s from the ductwork and think maybe to close to fans. Going to cut some ibcs down by one bar and give it a go.
@@oakfarmfirewood and incase you tried it , how did it go ?
In this kiln it was hard to go double stack with fans and ducting in the way
