Fan dry....then desiccant chamber.
Or put them in a paper bag in the fridge, but it would be better to dry them now.

If I don't have desiccant, then I fan dry till bendy then put on a rack over the oven door on lowest temp (mines 250F, but it doesn't get nearly that hot outside the oven with it open) , with a fan lightly blowing towards them. Gets them cracker dry pretty quick.

Every dehydrator I have seen does not go above 160F so you are perfectly fine. It takes somewhere above 300F to destroy the actives.
I paid $80 on my dehydrator and it is totally worth it If you really are a nervous ned, you can set the temp as low as 90F. Plus it has a timer and you can stack 10+ trays onto the beast.
Getting a dehydrator is a nice investment, but getting a good dehydrator is a GREAT investment... the one I have is $65 now at walmart, I'd totally recommend it. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Presto-Dehydro-Digital-Electric-Food-Dehydrator-06301/20924339
If you saved your receipt, just don't break the thing and walmart will take it back.

Mostly anything you can find on wally worlds website, you can get ordered to the store, if you found a better dehydrator on their site.
You can always buy one from a second hand shop, I just thought I'd add my 2 cents that you get what you pay for, and in this hobby a good dehydrator is a really good investment. About as important as a PC.

oh, i got you. this dehydrator is far better than any of the others ive had. i was only mad cause im use to finding them at thrift stores and this go around i had to fork up 50.00.
i am a little down on the room though. theres not much space as far as height. its also kinda loud. im still cool with it though.
