I have a friend who made a kiln for drying myrtle wood boards. Dehumidifier, which drained out one part of the room, a small fan, and about a 100 watt light bulb. He had the building framed, so not one of the Tuff Shed or other cloned type buildings. You can make a solar kiln, black plastic, and sticker every thing, it heats up in the day, and cools off at night which 'relaxes' the day time stress. Still takes a month or two, depending on your climate. If totally green, I would cut them first, put them on a concrete slab for a week or month, then up higher in the shop. I would use titebond or Elmers for end sealer, and consider that important. It is next to impossible to get anything over about 2 inch or 8/4 to get to equilibrium. A single light bulb, preferably one of the old incandescent types under the pile of wood will create convection flow, as in hot air rises. Depends on how much you are trying to dry at one time. Probably want to keep a bunch of it in different stages of drying.
