Customer Reviews ::

No info on what the basic concept of the dehydrator is, no sale - Marie A. Jenkins - Reston, VA
Seriously, is this based on a solar collector updraft, solar collector downdraft, solar chimney dehydrator what??? What's the basic concept?

With so many free plans drifting around the Internet, I'm not going to buy a book that doesn't even state what the central idea is. Otherwise, I don't know if it's a suitable design for the humidity and solar input conditions of my region of the country.

No info, no sale.
