[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 7689498, member: 192"] Got 3 sheds with your system. One from the 60’s with a typhoon fan. Simplest way to get heat into that is by putting a mobile burner in front of the fan intake. We’ve just got an old gas one. The fan sucks the heat in from the burner. It’s not the fastest but it’ll do 800t of wheat from 20% down to 15% in 4 weeks. The newer ones have heat from a heat exchanger along the same lines sat in front of the fan so it sucks the heat from it into the tunnel. However in both cases the key is stirring. The older shed has a fixed stirrer which you must run all the time. In the newer sheds we just use a mobile stirrer. If you don’t stir you’ll get a crust on the top although you can alleviate that by having a large fan pulling the air out of the shed as it’ll draw the damp air out stopping it hanging around.
