No need to buy a home dehydrator. For years, we have just used the oven. Gas ovens work better (and cheaper) than electric ovens. Or, do as people have done for thousands of years - use the sun.

The Foxfire books have good descriptions of dehydrating food. This is a series of 12 books, gathering the folk wisdom of Appalachian folk handed down through a few centuries. I lack a couple of the books, but have referred to them many times, often for things I learned when growing up, but have forgotten the details.

You can also do searches on Yahoo or Google for information on what the old Mountain Men did (Barb and I do historical re-enactments from that era - lots of fun, and maybe good preparation for the coming petroleum-less era).
