Long story short I built a homemade kiln to dry firewood. We used paper faced insulation followed by foam board followed by plywood. And spray foamed any open spots
We used a propane forced air heater commonly used on job sites and we're able to get the room to roughly 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
My father recently sheet rocked the entire room without telling us before hand. Cause he can't just chill and be good with the results we had. When all the plywood had been sheet rocked over our temps maxed out around 180 degrees.
This leads me to believe that sheet rock in some capacity absorbs heat rather than reflects it.
Should I rip off the sheet rock? Should I add more plywood? Is there any material that doesn't absorb heat that will make the room hit an even higher temp?
