Now I just need to figure out why the poor things are so anemic (They didn't look quite so tiny until the dryer got a hold of em.)
If your dryer will do 160F use that temp. It's the autobahn of dehydrating. Reasonable size batches can be done in 4 - 6 hrs.

Sure it SOUNDS dangerous, but they also tell you to turn your phone off when you pump gas for fear of electric pulses catching gas on fire, but do you actually turn it off each time? Probs not
nailed it. lol
The heating element won't cause a fire. A short circuit will. Ever hear of christmas tree fires? They aren't started by the heat of the light bulbs...

Christmas trees are dry and strings of lights often have nicks and other defects due to crappy manufacturing. Dehydrators are made for extended use. The likely hood of one burning down your house is pretty low.

Yea the odds are low. They are low for christmas trees too but a lot more people have those so you hear about it more... I run mine when I'm not at home, but I can see why someone isn't willing to take a risk when the consequence is your house burning down. My dad wouldn't even let me run a lava lamp overnight when I was in high school.
