This paper evaluated the performance of a locally fabricated sawdust fired oven for drying process. The principles of energy conservation and heat recovery were applied in analyzing the data obtained from the pilot Oven. Results obtained revealed that the maximum oven temperature in the drying chamber was 130 0C after 105 minutes of the heating process. Furthermore, the maximum energy gained and efficiency computed were 3.78kW and 56.65% respectively. Thus, using the sawdust fired Oven for domestic drying purpose will reduce dependence on fossil fuel; therefore, minimizing the effect of global warming and climate change. The used of the sawdust oven can serve as an alternative device for burning sawdust for drying purpose.
