I ended up using eggs and charcoal. I think the results are pretty good. I will put more on before putting the glass up. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Once my test board dried I ran water over it to try rinsing it off. It held up just fine. The final dehydrator will only be exposed to whatever moisture is drawn in
Cool! Good to know. 😁
Nice, what will you dehydrate? How long does it generally take?
I will dehydrate vegetables, fruits, and herbs. In the dry climate in Montana that the original one was built, I think most stuff will dry in a day or so. Herbs will dry in an hour or two.
I will see with my sometimes humid environment. I lifted the dehydrator up for easier access and so it was not drawing in the wet air at ground level.
Nice, cool project.
Here is a video on the dehydrator in Montana
