The National Hardwood Lumber Association is excited to announce a pair of Kiln Drying Workshop courses in early May.
Complete Kiln Drying Lumber Workshop (Fundamentals to Advanced)
The workshop will advance the knowledge and skills of new kiln operators, managers, supervisors, and trainees. Students will learn the fundamentals of kiln drying, including the best practices for measuring quality, proper stacking and air drying, and measuring moisture content (MC). They will also be trained on advanced techniques, including identifying defects, how to safely speed-up drying, energy savings, and more.
