Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I've got one of these - http://www.ezidri.co.uk/main_file.php/products/27/
Not bad, but it could do with some sort of timer. If you get one, get some extra trays - you'd be surprised how small the capacity is in relation to the finished product.

Yeah, they ain't cheap. I think the lowest I ever saw one was on Eeeebay for about £60 :shock:

I seem to remember something about an oven type thing but with a light bulb as a heating element
anyone up for making a dehydrator?

I want it to make my own trail snacks mostly, jerky primarily but I'd also be interested in trying to dry some of my chilli and curry based concoctions.
I've seen plans for homebuilt stuff, but the whole business is so dodgy from the hygeine point of view that I'd prefer to have as few variables as possible.

We have dessicators at work but they rely on Phosphorous pentoxide. At home I just gave up on any pretence of hygene and safety and I dry my meat and fish in front of the vent for the workshop - this is essential a cutdown plastic bin with a hole hacked in the end and a fan rammed in. It hasn't done me any harm yet but I do have to remember to shift the food out before I start cutting stone or everything comes out grey.
