Whether you are drying 2 x 4 studs or high-quality hard maple for furniture stock, the range of available kiln systems has grown considerably over the past few years. Anyone considering the addition of new drying equipment would be well advised to consider all the options before making a final decision. Some drying systems offer the ability to dry products that were previously impossible to dry properly, or to achieve unprecedented product quality levels. Without considering all options up front, you could end up selecting a system that limits your ability to respond to current or future market opportunities.
