A Kiln so Nice they Bought it Twice

A Kiln so Nice they Bought it Twice

If there has ever been a company that fully embodies its name, it is Goodwoods Lumber LLC. Their drying services, milling services, cabinetry, furniture, and custom built-ins all have a few things in common, but the most important one is exceptionally high-quality lumber.

Every single piece of hardwood lumber in their inventory has been sustainably salvaged from the Pennsylvania and Maryland regions and then carefully cut and dried in their IDRY vacuum kiln. In fact, the IDRY has become such an integral part of their business that they have decided to pick up another one!

"Well, it's happening again! We love our IDRY vacuum kiln so much we ordered a second one.

I cannot say enough great things about the product or the company.

The results speak for themselves.

We're ready to kick some serious ass with these!

We can now double our output and help even more customers dry their own Lumber!"

Why Kiln Drying Matters

Kiln drying is becoming an increasingly important part of many wood businesses because of the sheer amount of value it adds to every single aspect of the supply chain. Some wood companies have built their entire business model on just drying wood because the ability to speed up the otherwise lengthy drying process is worth a lot of money on its own.

Before, sawmills and other wood businesses would have a tremendous wait period before many projects could be started due to the length of time common air drying practices take. Now, it can be a matter of weeks or months to entirely turn around a project rather than waiting over a year just for wood to dry properly.

As if the speed that an IDRY kiln offers wasn't enough, it also provides enormous benefits in terms of sanitization. Insects and other contaminants in green lumber will never be eradicated through air drying and often relies on chemical treatment. The IDRY kiln takes care of these problems without compromising the wood's quality or structural integrity that other drying methods can cause.

The Value of Kiln Space

As mentioned above, kiln space as a service has become a potent part of any wood company's business model because of the value it adds to raw slabs and dimensional lumber. The price for green lumber is significantly lower than lumber that has been dried through any method, and air-dried lumber requires a large amount of space and careful storage to reach its potential value.

By cutting an enormous amount of time out of the equation, IDRY users get a quicker turnaround on their products, which adds value. Additionally, storing finished lumber that is ready for sale or for use immediately at a higher price point than green lumber adds value as well.

Simply put, the space inside of an IDRY kiln is some of the most valuable square footage you can get. The speed and ease of use of these kilns will allow you to use that space to add enormous value to your business the moment it reaches your shop.
