    Drying Kiln Plans Recommendations

    Having brought home my 200 Bdf of black walnut last weekend I realize I am out of room for any more wood. I want to continue to buy wood from Jeff, but realize I need another option. So I am considering building a kiln. Can Anyone recommend good relatively simple plans for a kiln? Thanks Doug
