A thermal method for stabilizing a load of wood, in particular timber, comprising:
- treating the load of wood in a treatment kiln by a gaseous treatment flow including a completely neutral gas;
- generating a gaseous treatment flow at high temperature from a heat generator independent of said treatment kiln;
- and
- recovering the loaded gaseous flow after treatment of the load of wood.
