The stack of lumber is first enclosed in a flexible covering of pervious sheet material and then enclosed in a flexible covering of impervious sheet material and electrode plates are positioned above and below the stack of lumber. A subatmospheric pressure is applied on the stack of lumber and the electrodes are charged by high-frequency electric current to dielectrically heat the lumber and volatized water vapors are extracted from the stack of lumber and condensed and withdrawn to reduce the moisture content of the stack of lumber to the desired degree, 15 percent or less by weight. Accurate drying of the lumber is provided and the drying operation requires a relatively short period of time.
