What sort of temp do you use for drying wood? I would assume it varies depending on the moisture content of the wood, but Is there an average temp and time?

A Kiln like this runs around 120 degrees for around a 30 day cycle, Then for the last two days you run the temp up to 140 degrees to sterilize the wood which kills all bugs/insect larva etc,
