Dear Ken,
Your practicality makes more sense. When drying wood, if you give the
heat from bottom, wet air always raise up to top. That can be the
pressure from wood chips, or just simply " hot air raise". In the
actual drying wood chips or whatever, the moisture coming from the
exhaust do not make any differents at all, unless we are trying to
calculate scientifically how much exhaust gas can dry what amount of
wood chips, at what degrees???? Than we must try to calculate the
exhaust heat, because it varies depending on the rpm of the engine,
than the difference will be insignificant. What important is you put the
heat from bottom, and it will raise as it dries wood and carry the
moisture with it.. Do not forget the install vents.
Regards,
Robert
