Loading a steam chamber
How to load a steam chamber.
Loading the steam chamber can either be done in deadpacked bundles or sticked bundles. Kiln-direct believe that it is always best to steam the lumber when it is sticked, since the heat and steam have more even access to all the lumber. This is especially true on short steam schedules or shock steaming. On long steam schedules (more than 24 to 36 hours) the quality difference between using deadpacked bundles and sticked bundles is minimal and many companies chooses to steam the lumber in deadpacked bundles.
