Methods Of Wood Seasoning |best| Link

Chemicals modify the cell wall or reduce surface tension, allowing water to escape faster and more evenly.

Wood is stacked inside a transparent-roofed chamber. Sun heats the air; vents allow hot, moist air to escape.

Faster than air drying, low operating cost, reduces MC to 8–10%. Disadvantages: Weather-dependent, requires large floor area, initial construction cost. II. Artificial (Accelerated) Methods 3. Kiln Seasoning (Industrial Drying) Wood is placed in an insulated chamber (kiln) with controlled temperature, humidity, and air circulation.

1–3 months.
