Learn how to build your own kiln.

DISCLAIMER:
After many years of trying to help companies build and construct their own lumber and pallet kilns we have seen some well managed project resulting good kilns, many project with sub-industry standard results with a functioning kiln, and lastly a few project that have gone poorly. In the end you have to decide that you have a thorough understand of both building constructions and lumber kiln plus has the ability to manage this kind of a project. Kiln-direct can no longer help with drawings and materials. We have sadly experienced being blamed for local mistake and cannot accept any liability incured by advising people and companies in any way. But you are welcome to use this information to help you manage a lumber kiln building project and you can visit our web-store and order lumber kiln parts made for the harsh environment.

We have had to recognize the difficulties of building kilns yourself after being involved in many project. Therefore we developed a new approach to installing small to mid-size kiln through complete and modular construction.

Please visit here to learn more about our complete and modular constructed lumber kiln.

There are places in this world where our modular construction is more difficult to install due to higher transport costs. However, we do have a few modular designs that can arrive in 2 or 3 40ft containers. Please do not hesitate to contact us about his.

Many people are fully capable of building their own lumber kiln from scratch either by themselves or by using local contractors. During the last 10 years we have witnesses an increase scrutiny in building codes imposed on lumber kilns (which is wrong, since it is a machine) and that drives up the cost in unforseen ways. Therefore today we believe you are often better off purchasing a small or modular design, which may be slightly more than you hoped to spend, but you will be a much better kiln using all the right materials, equipment, and controls. In addition, you will have a "nearly" fixed and very little on-site preparation and installation work.

If you are still going to build your own kiln we wish you the best luck and hope our web-site is helpful.
