“…The Alaska dry kiln program was launched in 2001 to add value to Alaska's wood products industry and increase marketability. By 2005, the dry kiln capacity had doubled in Alaska to an estimated 220 MBF (Nicholls et al 2006). In 2004, only 12 percent (800 MBF) of the estimated 6 MMBF annual dry kiln capacity was used, as many of the dry kilns were in the initial stages of startup; however, weather-related factors, staffing problems, transportation uncertainties, and sawmill capacity may limit facilities realizing full dry kiln capacity (Nicholls et al 2006).…”

“…In 2000, Alaska had an installed kiln capacity of only about 94,000 board feet, limiting its ability to export lumber to Asia and the Lower 48 States. To increase lumber kiln drying capacity, a federal grant program was initiated, and by 2004, Alaska had an estimated 220,000 board feet of kiln drying capacity (Nicholls et al 2006).…”
