KILN INFORMATION

All of Log Homes of the Smokies' log are kiln-dried. This process controls the amount of moisture in the logs used to build your home. Kiln drying produces uniform, stable building materials. The process also kills mold and fungi; insects and their eggs, reduces checking (cracking), and provides a better base for stains and finishes. Kiln-drying your logs can remove more than 10,000lbs of water, making the logs easier to handle. Air dried logs often have large gaps between the logs, walls shrink, and doors and windows can bind. These logs are not sanitized, have sap seeping to the surface, and you cannot apply a preservative/finish until at least one year after construction

Log Homes of the Smokies is committed to provide our customers with the very best
product available, most importantly, the logs. 20+ years experience in the industry makes us feel that we cannot do this without kiln-dried logs.

BENEFITS OF KILN-DRIED LOGS:
>> Kiln-drying stabilizes the wood
>> Kiln-drying, before the milling of the logs, maintains quality
>> Most checks occur during drying
>> Logs are turned in the milling process to maximize the best possible finish
>> Kiln-drying kills wood boring insects and decay fungi
(dead standing & pre-seasonal logs harbor both of these)
>> Kiln-drying sets the pitch and prevents pitch bleed
>> Kiln-dried logs are lighter, thereby saving in the cost of transportation
