Are reversible fans really necessary in small kilns? Can you heat treat with a DH unit? How much capacity is too much? Ian Griffin from Nyle Dry Kilns breaks down the most common myths and misconceptions about drying lumber, especially with small-scale L-Series kilns like the L200 and L53.

• Why kiln duty motors are standard on Nyle kilns
• The truth about fan reversal and airflow saturation
• How the hybrid drying mode is changing the game for softwood capacity
• The real limitations—and solutions—around drying volume
• How to achieve proper baffling and airflow in chamber design
• What you can do about heat treating and setting pitch with DH kilns
