Kilns
We currently have 18 kilns with a combined 920,000 board feet of kiln capacity at our facility which allows us to average about 1.6 million board feet of dried lumber per month. The KDS kilns operate off of a 350 horse powered bio-mass combustion system boiler that is fueled by our own wood waste. All of the kilns have powered vents with variable speed fans allowing us to either dry hard maple efficiently to keep it bright white or to slow down the fans and dry oak to keep it flat and free of checks and splits. All lumber is dried to 6-8% with proper stress relief.
