Okay I am a little confused about how steam is involved in the kiln drying of wood.
I am doing research on a cabinet shop that was active in the late 1840's. I know that they were kiln drying wood. Does this mean that they needed a source of large volumes of steam, perhaps a steam engine?
Do you have to use steam when kiln drying wood? And if you don't what happens?
Thanks,

p.s. I hope that I put this on the right sectionof the forum
