Our services

Kiln Drying

Faster drying. Superior quality. No cracking or pests.

Transform your freshly cut lumber into stable, high-quality material with our kiln drying service. Using a state-of-the-art vacuum kiln, we dry your wood at a lower temperature, preserving its natural color while improving its strength, stability, and longevity. This process minimizes cracking, case hardening, and eliminates harmful pests, so you receive premium lumber ready for any project. Our efficient drying method is faster than traditional techniques, saving you time without compromising quality.

  • About Our Kiln: Our iDry Vacuum Kiln dries your wood faster, with minimal degrade, while preserving its natural color and strength. Unlike traditional drying methods, it prevents cracking and improves stability—all while being eco-friendly due to the energy-efficient, low-temperature process that reduces resource consumption.

  • Capacity: Our kiln’s 60”x60”x198” chamber can hold approximately 2500-3500 board feet.

  • Drying Time: Once on the schedule, expect approximately 1 week of drying time for each inch of thickness.
