Turning a Barge Box into a Grain Dryer - Post-Harvest Handling for Food-Grade Small Grains

Thoughtful post-harvest handling is an essential component of bringing food-grade small grains to market. Many food-grade grain growers say that only half the work and investment is growing the crop, whereas the other half is proper post-harvest handling and storage.
Developed to help farmers get started or improve on their small grain post-harvest handling, this video series features farmers growing food-grade wheat and rye on small and mid-size farms, from five to hundreds of acres.
Hazzard Free Farm is a diversified operation in Northern Illinois with 40 acres in organic grain and 10 acres in pastures. This video showcases how Andy Hazzard, Farm Owner and Operator, has converted a barge box into a DIY food-grade grain dryer.

Nice idea, can be done pretty easily. Question would a metal pipe with holes going through the middle of the wagon connected to the heater would help drying in a more uniform way? Also second question isn't a propane heater directly connected to the wagon would overheat the grain?
