    I have a 16'x12' room in my new shop that I would like to use as a drying room. Does anyone know where I can find info on heating and air circulation setups (pics)? My current setup drys very uneven so I end up with to dry on part of the hide and not ready to tumble on the other half. Thanks

    Thanks Hudson, I spend a little more time rotating my hides and see if that helps. Have most my problems against the wall where the heat is reflecting. I'm using poles wall to wall and it makes it very difficult to move hides around when the room is full.

    Include a De-Humidifier in your setup too. They are helpful in reducing the moisture content of the fur or hair, as well as the overall atmospheric moisture.
