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
