Reviews
"Cheap. Simple. Easy to operate. The fuel is free. The product is tasty. What's not to like? Read it." -- David Morris, Institute for Local Self-Reliance "Here is an important do-it-yourself book. Because so much petroleum is used in the commercial growing and transport of food, we can expect that the rising cost of petroleum will speed the rise of food prices. As a result, more and more people will want to turn to solar drying of locally-grown foods in order to reduce family food costs. I recommend this book as a valuable introduction to this ancient but modern development in the preservation of food." -- Albert A. Bartlett, Professor Emeritus of Physics, University of Colorado at Boulder "The Solar Food Dryer is a practical and handy guide -- a step-by-step, easy-to-follow manual to help US readers design, build and operate a solar food dryer. In a time when people are increasingly concerned about the quality of food they're eating, this book is an excellent guide, allowing readers to learn and improve upon many age-old techniques to preserve and store summer's bounty." -- Tom Lawand, Solargetics Ltd.

  • This Will Stay On My Bookshelf -

    Excellent book! Gave very concise details for building the dryer, which we did! Author not partial to self, included other dryer options and features. Gave great information relative to drying which included layman terms from beginning to end. I highly recommend this book to home gardeners looking for a food storage alternative.

  • Mixed bag on this book

    far to much time/space explaining how/why dehydration works and comparing other styles of dehydrators that you would have to purchase some one else's plans for to be able to see/make. Really only wanted detailed plans for making a simple solar dehydrator. If you like lots of back story- you'll enjoy this. If like me, you just wanted a how to book, the first 2/3 of the book will annoy you.

  • This is a Great Book

    I wanted to learned how to dry food properly & since we will not have electricity when we move shortly this book seemed to be the natural choice. It is extremely informative with easy to understand instructions & pictures. We just finished building our solar dryer & have apple slices drying on it. It was so easy. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in dehydrating foods, especially homesteaders.

  • good construction guide

    The book was O K. It did not cover what I wanted about hoe to prepare food for drying
