Board kiln, Kirtland Township, Ohio

Used to dry wood for building projects, principally for temple in Kirtland. Possibly located near Latter-day Saint sawmill, as dried wood was finished at mill; JS’s scribe Warren Parrish wrote that kiln was near temple. Caught fire several times, 1835–1836. Size unknown, but kiln could contain “much lumber,” and about two hundred Latter-day Saint men worked to put out one of its fires. See also “.”
