A method and apparatus for drying material, especially wood particles, havin g moisture therein, comprising depositing the material to a selected depth ont o a transport conveyor (19) at the first end (14) of a drying chamber (12). He at is applied to the material as it is transported toward the opposite second e nd (16) of the drying chamber (12) so that, adjacent the second end, the materi al 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 i s different from the moisture content of the first layer. Means (22) are provided adjacent the second end (16) for removing one of the first and seco nd layers from the conveyor (19) and directing that layer exteriorly of the chamber (12). The layer, which has the highest remaining moisture content ma y be further dried to achieve the desired moisture content.
