I managed to pick extra several figs today( besides the ones we ate ), 4 Mt Etna types and a Lattarulla, and I have wanted to experiment with drying figs since starting this fig growing passion. I have an American Harvest dehydrator with a wide range of temp settings - anyone have experience with what temps work best? (they are on 105 degrees the past 2 hrs)

for years I dried everything "under the sun" in one of these...quite a number of years ago

although this one has a few upgrades...the clear and black tube stack to accelerate air flow...insulation and an offset baffle to redirect airflow
in the California sun...worked like a charm...a little too much at times....an automatic, thermostatically operated damper to cool things off would also make a nice addition
I have seen 180 degrees in mine mid afternoon...attempts were made to keep it around 125-150

My Zio take plastic under the car hood work on engine light with extension cord and I think 60watt bulb $7.00 Home Depot. Put light on and lean upward from bottom right in oven with oven off and extension cord out of very top of stove door. Is just enough room to keep heat in and change air. Then put fig on oven racks. No pan or foil. Just in rack. Leave for 24 hour or until you prefer. We also make dehydrate steak tis way too. Is very cheap and effectiveZone 5 Chicago IL Wish list:
