    I love everyone, but can't respect those who refuse to accept facts, valid data, truth, and change.
    I recognize I'm an azz at times, one of my better qualities
    And it is a sever allergic reaction to holiday music 6weeks too early

    I'll tell ya when I'd like to try....I'd love to buy one of those big shipping containers (you know, the ones that they stack on barges and big ships), paint that sucker flat black, install some vents on the roof and floor and park it in the middle of the field next to the house. Pack if full of sopping wet oak splits, test it with a meter, let the sun have at it for a summer and check the results in the fall.....

    But my wife would SHOOT me if I tried.....lol

    With vents and occasional air flow I think that would work great!

    Truth to one man isn't always truth to another......and science has been wrong many times over the ages....

    I'm right there with you on the holiday music......after Thanksgiving, I'm good to go with it.....

    My buddy uses a car shelter that's white and it still works. It hits 120 inside easy as long as the floor is tarped with a black tarp. He cut a small vent in the back and walla kiln. Took his ash from 33% to 9% in two months this summer. If only I had room!

    One of our members in Tasmania uses a similar method, more or less, if I'm not mistaken.......

    Vents on the bottom and top (on the sides)of the container, and you'd have convection for air flow.........

    Now if I could just get the boss on board.......

    So try a smaller box. Hell I have been thinking of building a couple of solar powered wifi resistance meters out of adurenio chips. MM's are just ohm meters. Then you could have realtime measurement of moisture in a split if you drove a couple of nails into the center of a split....broadcast it to a webpage, watch your stack dry in real time.

    That begs the question, more or less fun than watching paint dry??

    So this summer I have kept the shelter tarped up which I normally open and the wood seems to be nice and dry.. Air can still flow through.

    Add a porch fan inside then you'd have real convection!

    Sea boxes is what they are called. We have a half dozen here at work for storage. They are great and last forever. (Need to resist sea salt) would make a great underground bunker!
