Baking Maple

[ehdwuld]

If you are baking a maple block

What temperature
And how long

Say 175 for three hours?

250 for 2 hours?

450 for 30 mins?

What is the normal range

Please dont give me the internet
I know but i cab't tell ya because its different for everyone nonsense
if you know you know
Save the BS for the next thread


Im thinking i will just stic some sections in an old stove

Industrial version would use a
Nitrogen atmosphere in a vacuum tank
and a batch cycle

Aint got that

Anybody?

wouldn't recommend trying it at home, ninfriendo for exactly the reason that you don't have the right equipment. this topic is like asking "how to make a sword at home? sorry don't have a forge, what else you got?" :smash:

I have worked in lumber mills
they heat lumber to 250 or so in the kilns for 12-16 hours to turn green lumber into 2x4s

It aint rocket science

But thanks for the
"If i told ya I'd have to kill ya, " response
specifically what i had asked you to keep

But ya had to
Because Internet
