ABSTRACT:
The kiln system for drying green lumber to a predetermined moisture content according to the present invention includes a kiln chamber for enclosing a charge of lumber, a fan in upper portions of the kiln chamber above the stacks of lumber to circulate air through the kiln chamber and through the lumber in the kiln chamber and a first elongate fairing overlying and partially surrounding an upper corner of the charge of lumber. The elongate fairing controls the air flow from the fan in the upper portions of the chamber to increase the efficiency of the air flow and the drying process. For kiln chambers adapted to receive a charge of lumber consisting of a plurality of laterally spaced rectangular stacks of lumber, the elongate fairing preferably overlies and partially surrounds the outer upper corners of the outermost stacks of lumber.
