dehydrators

I am looking to get one but so far I can only find a Silton(sp)? which is a 4 tray.I was thinking about advertising on Kijijji to see if anyone has a used one they want to sell.Might get a larger or more durable one that way,plus save money. My question is how has yours been for you,any problems...

heres the pictures of the mesh screens i made from stainless steel i have 3 different kinds of dehydrator so i made for them all

This is another new project we are going to attempt. Have lots of plans & can probably build out of all recycled materials. Has anyone had experience with a home-made chimney type solar dehydrator? Would love to hear your stories & any advice too...

Does anyone use them? Is it worth the effort? TIA

Do any of you use a dehydrator? If so, what things do you use it for? Just a few things you CAN do with one... Fruits: (Apples, bananas, berries, Coconut, grapes, melons, citrus, rhubarb, etc...) Fruit Leathers using apple sauce, or any pureed (in blender) fresh fruit. Veggies: (Beans...
