Re: [nafex] Food dehydrater



Hair dryers are serious energy users. I took the heating element out of my
incubator (smaller than 2x2x4, but I haven't measured it. It holds about 200
chicken eggs) and replaced it with a 40 watt light bulb. It still stays off more
than it is on. Keeps the box at 99 deg. f. with no problem. I would try a 60
watt bulb and some sort of diffuser to spread the heat, but no fan. At least to
start.
