Building a Wood-Fired Dehydrator... 

So glad you made these videos ! Plan to build something similar on my future homestead

looks good your garlic is pumpping nice

Excellent idea. Where did you source your conversion kit from? I don't know if they would operate at those temps, but would those fans, I think they're called thermo fans, work to push the air around inside? They require no electricity and only go with heat generated from below them. Maybe one or even two on the bottom of the dehydrator for better more even air circulation? Probably won't work, but just a thought for other alternatives for air movement. Have a great day, from NSW 🦘🙏👍

Nice work

Nice work mate, I don't know if it would help but you can get small fans they use on hydro lights about 100mm square, you could put it in the bottom side to push to air around to help make it more consistent. 👌

Great idea!

Interesting project. I look forward to your first test run :) I just bought a dehydrator because I'm lazy like that. I pop the fruit in and let it do its thing :)

What a fantastic idea 😀

Great work mate

Love the video

Nice work. Love the idea.

You could add a small 4"exaust fan 2600 rpm to maintain the temperature on the top tray with a fan regulator. The fan should be mounted on the top of the container i made one and i use it to dry ginger and garlic .I use coconut shell charcoal no smoke.

I also built my own dehydrator but work with much lower temperatures seeing as I built it to make biltong with. Thanks for another informative video.

Wow 😮nice, i love gardenng also, keep safe😊💖💖

great job!!!

Just bought a dehydrator, looking forward to making beetroot chips! 👍👍

also speaking of store stuff have you ever tried a chest freezer with a temperature controller to keep it above freezing. then fill it with apples works amazing i have a video on how to do it. if you really want them to last a long time throw a hand warmer in and close that will suck up most of the oxygen and then they will really last.

hi, was your old solar dehydrator successful? where did you get the plans for that?, thanks

Great video. What did you use for insulation please John?

very cool. i’m no export but my understanding was you really want more high air flow vs just warm temperatures. should you not have fan on top sucking the air up the top.

Sand would be better than bricks We do that in Kashmir
