Hey, Sunfire, I was just straightening up my cedar boards—any thoughts on the best way to dry wood before you set it on fire? Got a new project that could use a bit of heat to cure the surface.

Let the cedar dry in the sun with a fan to speed it up—keep it low moisture before you light it. If you want a quick cure, use a controlled low heat, like an oven or a steady flame, but keep it steady so it doesn’t scorch. Just stay safe and you’ll get a smooth surface ready for your project.

Sounds solid, but I usually let cedar sit in a shaded spot until it’s dry, no fan needed. A slow, low flame works best—no scorching, just a steady heat. The surface comes out even, no surprises.

That’s the way to do it—slow, steady heat keeps the cedar from blistering, and a shaded dry spot keeps it from getting too dry and cracking. Just keep an eye on it so it stays even, and you’ll get a smooth, heat‑cured surface that’s ready for whatever fire‑based project you’ve got in mind. Keep that flame under control, champ.

Got it, no scorch, steady heat, check it often. Keep the cedar happy.
