usually you want to keep the temperature below 240 degrees F for soft woods, below 180 degrees F for hard woods, and below 140 degrees F for really dense exotic woods.

A piece of dry ice, solid CO2, has a temperature of -100 oC. What is its temperature in degrees Fahrenheit]
Dry wood is not a conductor of electricity as there are no free electrons to flow.
for air water system wet bulb equals to dry bulb at 100 % relative humidity for that given temperature of air.
Applesauce
Stage 1 - steam is ejected into wood at a low temperature to force moisture out. Stage 2 - steam is reduced and temperature is increased to dry the wood. Stage 3 - then there is a flow of hot almost dry air
The best way to dry wood for carving, is to do it slowly, unless you have a drying kiln. Most wood for carving walking sticks has a general rule that it needs to be dried for at least a year for every 1" diameter of the walking stick.
A kiln is a over or stove that potters use do dry their potts.
Uncured or non-Kiln dried wood.
Refer to "kiln dry".

You put clay in the kiln when the clay is at the bone dry stage.
I would not suggest it. The oven elements will not get hot enough for kiln work. Since a kiln gets to the temperature of over 1400 degrees, the standard overn elements will not attain that temperature. Invest in standard kiln elements...and a good kiln thermostat.

Temperatures in a kiln are generally measured in two ways: by a pyrometer or by a pyrometric cone. Pyrometers are electronic thermometers which read the temperature inside the kiln. Pyrometric cones are pieces of ceramic formulated to bend at specific temperatures in a kiln. Most potters use both methods of measuring temperature because the temperature at which clays and glazes fire is very critical.
