Mike, you are correct about them retaining the heat for hours
But who's going to wait for hours after school/college in order to bung in a piece of wood?
Even at 100'C (complicated bit here) the wood, would not survive as the heat would steam the wood and feck it up big time To dry wood correctly in a kiln, takes days or weeks (depending on type of wood) at a constant heat in order to minimise drying time
