We are considering building a Firewood Kiln from a 40’ reefer container.
Oak Farm Firewood in England documented their build and we’ll use their notes as a starting point (available on youtube)
One thing we like about it is the Wood Fired Gasifier Furnace they put inside the container.
Oak Farm uses the 60kW Angus Hot Air blower, this unit is not available in the US as far as we can tell.
So, what’s the best alternative?
Here is the high level spec we are trying to meet:
60kW / 200k BTU (this is based on Oak Farm’s Unit, open to comments on sizing)
Indoor (putting the Furnace inside the container makes it self-contained, a pro if we ever decided to move it)
Wood Gasification
Computer Controlled (but simple as possible)
EPA 20 approved (buying new)
Hot Air Furnace
Looking forward to suggestions / ideas!
