So, that's why I'm investigating doing the lumber thing.
Contributor M, you're reading the situation perfectly. You could try using a dehumidifying shipping container to dry the wood. That kind of sums up where I'm at with my wood drying issues. You will have probably greater than 100 cord of firewood to sell. Due to the cold winters in Wisconsin USA, it sounds like a solar kiln will be disappointing to me. If you want the whitest hard maple, in the summertime, you need to get it into the kiln within 6 hours after sawing.
