A method and apparatus for drying material, especially wood particles, havin g moisture therein, comprising depositing the material to a selected depth onto a transport conveyor (19) at the first end (14) of a drying chamber (12). Heat is applied to the material as it is transported toward the opposite second end (16) of the drying chamber (12) s o that, adjacent the second end, the material forms essentially two layers, a first layer having a first level of moisture therein and a second layer having a second level of moisture therein which is different from the moisture content of the first layer. Means (22) are provided adjace nt the second end (16) for removing one of the first and second layers from the conveyor (19) and directing that layer exteriorly of the chamber (12). The layer, which has the highest remaining moisture content may be further dried to achieve the desired moisture content.</SDOAB >
