This is what I have been using .Its is old already but that's ok.... not fancy but gets the job done.
Does that thing control dry down on its own? Set moisture and go? I kinda like it and have seen a few of them. I'm thinking I could still use my wet bin. Thank you
Yes, there is a thermostat that measures grain temp in the tub . (not plenum, that is different measurement from a different area..... its direct flame and air mixture right behind the fan actually.)Moisture evaporating keeps the heat low until the moisture is gone enough to stop evaporating and the grain temp then rises more and more as it get dryer. When the moisture is drying out, it lets the grain get warmer and the thermostat kills the flame at your preset temperature and it goes into cooling mode.
Educate me on small grain dryers.
