Great vid! What is the slope of the roof?

[@Offrouted]

It’s almost a 4:12

[@wolflahti412]

And how about yaki-sugi in the interior?

[@Offrouted]

Definitely would love to try that!

[@jstackz1113]

total cost of materials'?

[@Offrouted]

I did not keep track of all expenses. I believe it was pushing $8k

[@southern0949]

Nice job! And does it work? What was the cubic volume and what temperature do you operate it and how long does it take to get up to temperature? Thanks!

[@Offrouted]

Enjoying it every week! I get up to 210 F in 1 hour 20 minutes. For reference the hot room is 8 ft in all directions except height is a little less

how did the shou sugi ban get so dark again after brushing it and sealing it? when you were sealing it, it didnt look as dark as it did when installed

[@Offrouted]

I wondered the same thing! Some people will stain it black as well. I put a very heavy application of linseed oil and I believe the lighting had an effect on it. If you notice the color of the siding had faded in beginning and end of video. Eventually it will fade out more and will have a more gray appearance.
