Green timber of Polish fast growing hardwood species is characterized by the high initial moisture content exceeding even 200%. Therefore, during the kiln drying of the timber high capacities of kiln heaters are required. The paper presents a set of problems, which may occur during the drying. A practical example of kiln drying of green poplar timber is discussed. The criteria for the proper kiln selection are given.
