What kills Powder Post beetles?

[Andy Harden]

All sounds great. Now.... a makleshift kiln... I like that idea. Solar?? Now I need to know where and what type of solar panels is required to create this level of heat. If course, anyone knows that in the dead of summer here in Louisiana it can get to 105 degrees. So enclosing anything could bring a temp of 120+ without any other heat source other than the sun.
But 150 degrees?... Tell me what what panels to get. Or maybe someone has a "plan" on a makeshift solar kiln.
Thanks for the info and help in advance,
Duane

The simple thing to do

Is make a 2x4 box and cover it with plastic. I guarantee you this summer in LA the interior of the box in full sun will be 140F.
