[QUOTE="blackdogon57, post: 1047642, member: 22905"] Sure - you can season in 5 days but it takes a huge OWB - at least 500,000 BTU . If you run a 500K OWB for five days wide open you will burn a cord or two of wood easy. I have a CB 6048. It's about the size you would need . It consumes huge amounts of wood with a heavy load on it. The fans that you need to run for air circulation inside the kiln consume lots of hydro. We estimated the cost just for hydro would be $250 per week to run such a kiln here in Ontario. We currently sell air dried wood for 300-400 per cord and struggle to make decent $$. We had a good look at the kiln concept a couple of years back and decided it woud be very tough to turn a profit. [/QUOTE]
