Quick tour of our Nyle l200 lumber kiln

A quick rundown of the lumber kiln I built. In order to take green freshly cut lumber and dry it quickly you will need to kiln dry it. This particular lumber kiln is a Nyle l200 which is the same system as the woodmizer and the timberking kits, all of which are dehumidifcation kilns. The chamber is 12x20 and I go over some of the basics of the construction as well as a few tips to make it more efficient. Another tip of like to add that I didn't mention in the video is to precut all your runners and stack sticks to the same size. The reason being is that as I take the rough cut lumber off of the sawmill I can make all my stacks the same width allowing me to utilize the kiln space most efficiently.

Do you have Darth Vader filming this ?

[@jsullivan05]

lol, your camera man sounds like he's about to die

[@antibodyarmy]

they are probably nervous and dont want to breath too loud, that usually results in way louder breathing lol.

[@joysquirts]

Hahaha I wasn’t paying attention until I read this comment and now I can’t stop hearing him 🤣

[@thomasesteb9589]

Thank you for the help

[@BigJBizz]

Sincerely appreciate the walk through.

[@kfujillama9548]

Thanks for the explanation. Like the wheels on the large doors. Smart idea.

[@TheMattroloff]

Nice video. Impressive setup.

[@SB-cm7db]

Nice kiln, looks like it will work good.

[@drewjohnson4673]

Great video, thanks.

[@robertferreiro3466]

Thank you

[@zippythechicken]

thanks that was a really good explanation .. wonder if house attic fans would be good at that heat .. the ones that vent the attic out.

[@bendugas8632]

My Nyle kiln I purchased them I 2000 I keep them maintained and especially I pay super attention to the coils inside the unit, the only problem I've had was an electrial storm cooking the unit, but work wise beautiful machine, I wouldn't mind having two of your systems.

[@busenitzcustomwoodworks6768]

I see you had to extend your wiring harness too! Just now getting mine setup and hopefully get some lumber in it soon!

[@ryanbates7037]

Thought it was the kiln noise for a bit but then I realized it was the wheezing of your cameraman throughout.

[@scottogilvy2596]

In regards to your extra heater, when you dry say YB you want temperature to rise very slowly as to not darken or stain wood. If you heat up too quickly there is too much humidity to quickly....

[@garywrench101]

Nice video. I just built one inside my shop. It’s 12’ long 5’ tall and 4’ wide. It’s not very big. Im having trouble finding a unit/set up like you have only cause mine is pretty small.

[@kirkswater]

Thanks for sharing Tyler - excellent video and ideas. I have a regular 200 unit (still new in its box). Given your experience, do you recommend that I upgrade to the “M” model controller? Not even sure if they’d let me upgrade, and also not sure how important for me the extra probe capability would really be. We’re likely not going to do crazy commercial ongoing drying. I’ve got a TK-2000 mill and will likely focus mostly on hardwood slabs and boards for my own use. Let me know your thoughts, I sure appreciate it. Hey Bud, also what state are you located in?

[@marpip01]

How do you stack the wood in the kilin ? Does it go on racks with tie downs to prevent warping or do you just stack on the floor and pile weight on top ?

[@thomasesteb9589]

Tyler thanks for the good all meat hands on video, nicely done. Have you ever used a wood fired Kiln ? I am currently building one using a 40’ conex and plan to burn slab wood. Thanks Tom~

[@dscottgillett]

What is the average running cost per month to run the kiln?

[@gistwooddesigns4199]

Thanks for the video. I’m currently designing my kiln. I’m thinking of using a heater like your auxiliary heater. How long does it take to get your kiln to temp.? And what’s the cubic feet of your kiln? Thanks.

[@LumberjacksTreeService]

I have ran a load through this kiln and have decided to add a 2nd aux heater. The dimensions of the kiln chamber is roughly 12x20x10.

[@georgestrobl6510]

What’s the cost I have a small and your right about green lumber thanks

[@daphnepiercy2334]

Did you put vents inside yours and if you did where at?

[@bradbailey3998]

I noticed you're not using any vents. Have you noticed any issues with the kiln overheating? I'm currently in the process of constructing a kiln and I'm not sure if I need to vent it or not. It seems to be counterintuitive to install them after I've spent so much effort insulating and air sealing the chamber.

[@practicallyIndependent]

Great video. I hope to build a similar system this year. On a side note, is someone breathing heavily into the microphone? lol! Thanks for sharing.

[@LumberjacksTreeService]

Dillons Woodworks , thanks. yes, that is my camera man Kyle I couldn't figure out a way to pull his breathing out of the video.

[@kylerafferty3035]

How many board feet can this hold?

[@johndeaux9987]

Is the camera guy wearing scuba gear?

[@TexasUrbanSawmillLLC]

Tyler, what heater do you purchase? You mentioned adding a second one, did you buy the same? I sent you an email and would love to speak on the phone. We operate a sawmill out of Texas. Thanks for posting this video and showing the kiln building.

[@LumberjacksTreeService]

I will check my inbox now and get back with you.

[@danielebrparish4271]

I'm thinking that a metal building with a black exterior would heat up very qnickly, expecially in the summer.

[@davidanalyst671]

I was kindof curious why he didn't put a solar screen on the roof to let the sun bring in some heat

[@WILSON.1]

Is the system noisy?

[@oneofthosepeople2101]

I have a small 20x40 pole barn that is partially converted to a living space. There is no heater, but it has a 600cfm exhaust fan and it is fully insulated. Could I add a large fan and dry my lumber in it? I greatly appreciate any response🙏

[@6105jakeusmc]

It wouldn't be nearly the same as a true kiln dry as chances are you wouldn't reach a top temp around 120f to ensure all pests are killed off. There are many people that do finish the drying process the way you described though so it's up to you if you want to worry about the chances of a pest infestation.

[@oneofthosepeople2101]

@@6105jakeusmc thank you, 🙏

[@davidanalyst671]

you can dry lumber anywhere. Just turn the fan off at night when the humidity comes back

[@jaredkean7841]

There HAS to be a way to do this with wood scraps...? The amount of electricity needed seems like it would cut into your operating costs the same way selling green wood--would (See what I did there? lol). Am I crazy? How can one do this with wood scrap? or at least supplement the electricity required? Im late on this but....there has to be a way.

[@spicher40]

Anyone build a kiln with an outdoor wood boiler?

[@markheintz1878]

That would be ideal. Easier to control the temp and the boiler could heat multiple buildings, and if a completely new building, you could go in floor heat and gain that wat too.

[@yengewasandi8669]

Can you help me out in building one West Africa

[@jayjay0580]

How much did u purchase the heater for? What’s the brand (specs?)

[@jayjay0580]

Okay missed when u said it’s a Nyle brand

[@levonluther9494]

What do you have into the total kiln, about 10k?

[@LumberjacksTreeService]

The nyle kit runs about 7k doing the enclosure, spray foam, concrete, and door I've got about 20k in it. If you are frugal and do a lot of the work yourself you could probably get it done for 15k.

[@levonluther9494]

@@LumberjacksTreeService thanks. Forgot about the concrete. Have a spot already built that would work in my pole barn (and 1/2 spray foamed already) just wondering what it would take to break even

Please slow down, your going to kill the camera guy!

Crypto Miner would be a good way to add heat and reduce your cost by earning crypto that you can sell for $$$.
