Doing it for the kids

been toying with this idea a while, would like to speed up the last 10% - 20% of the drying of logs that have been sat split for some time.
I like the idea of a mobile unit so I can load it from log shed and drive next to the boiler to save on pipe and infrastructure costs. Once dry I can then tip in the other half of the log shed and repeat if needed.
The grain trailers already have a grain hatch in the door, was thinking of making a lid, and plumbing up a simple fan with coil on flexible electric and water pipes ready to go.
Not sure what to about controls and how to let wet air out.
Lots of folk have made static kilns for drying logs in crates but I won't be needing the crates so drying it loose pr sent different situations. I do think drying on Grainstore floors will be so effective due to air flow
Will this work, what would I need to make it efficient?
