With or without propane?

Many factors to consider. Bin height, bin diameter, fan size, humidity etc. Couple days might be pushing it. If it goes in the bin warm your greatest gains are in the cool of the night.

Without - using whatever mother nature provides for a few days.

Canola womt come out the bin if 20% moisture after a few days air or no air. Best dumped in the tree row.

Sorry meant the wheat. Canola is 2w away from even looking at.

16% is safe for now as long as you can cool it down to below 10 degrees than freeze it
later when winter hits. Once froze you would likely be dry when you haul out.

This sounds like best option.

Unfortunately we need the aeration bins for canola, so I cant tie one up keeping wheat at 10deg for another month.

Guess we let it stand for another week.

If you have a couple weeks until canola could cool it down then move it to another bin before starting canola. 16 wheat is a blessing at my place most years.

Moisture is the phone call from a relative, heat is the relative standing at your door with two suitcases.

Keeping it cool all you can do.
Cheapest dollar I spent were gauges on the plenum after the fan. Calibrated to each fan. Shows airflow decrease as bin fills. An eye opener. If you have the space, don't fill them.
