iDry Hero: Maverick Sawmill

The iDRY kiln is such an incredible investment for any business that relies on fast, efficient, and effective wood drying. There are so many testimonials from such a wide variety of businesses that are overjoyed with the results from their iDRY kilns that can be viewed on this website but here’s a stand out from one of our iDRY heroes.

“Our iDry vacuum kiln is our newest toy and has been an absolute game-changer for us here at Maverick Sawmill Services. We are now drying wood in ⅓ of the time and we have ⅓ of the product loss that occurs with other systems. It uses a low pressure vacuum chamber, which uses lower heat meaning that we lose less wood and end up with a better overall product. Since the iDry reduces splitting and twisting the product saves and the quality the slabs come out is incredible.”

“We found ourselves being a little bit addicted to what we were doing, as I’m sure a lot of you can relate to when you find that thing that you’re passionate about. So we decided we needed to keep doing this and we needed to get some more equipment to see if we could make this a little bit easier. We brought on a Lucas Mill which handles a lot of the larger material and then in addition to that our biggest purchase, the iDRY vacuum Kiln which has been the biggest game-changer.

Now, these slabs we’ve been cutting for two, three, four years now we can keep the investment in by using a product that gives us less waste and a better-finished product. Previously they might have been drying for years but now with this, we can just send them through. We got the iDRY Plus model that can handle 17ft long by 70 inch wide slabs.”
