another for dehydrators. I have the Nesco also- it works wonders. If you dry on the lowest, I really don't think you would ever notice a difference in potency. Good luck!

i got some goods you can sample all right. anyway, yeah i plan on getting that NESCO tomorrow at ShopKo, its on sale for $29.99 as for the other piece of shit(cuz it came broken) im gonna take that back and get a refund. and that was $29.99 too, so it all evens out perfectly(minues the inconvenient running i gotta do)...how about that? shit always works out to my advantage one way or another. what are the fucking odds that, that very nesco model is in a sale flyer for ShopKo at the time i finally decide to get a dehydrator? i guess i never looked for a dehydrator before, but it just seems a bit coincidental it be on sale at the same price as this bitchass one i got right when i decide to get one...hmm.

You can make a really good home made dehydrator by doing the following:
Line the inside of a box (such as a cardboard file box) with aluminum foil, and poke wire throw the sides for racks. Put some kind of screen in to rest on top of the wires. Get a lightbulb socket with a pull string, and a nice bright bulb to put in the bottom. If you make sure to punch some holes in the top if there are none already, and a small one in the bottom for the cord of the lamp, this dryer will dehydrate food in no time
peace

I don't like using a light bulb to dry shrooms. The Snackmaster dehydrator is much easier to set up, there is no light involved, and it's nice and compact compared to a lot of the homemade setups I've seen.

plus, when you aren't drying shrooms you can use it to dehydrate food!

Temp is probably too high if it doesn't have a thermostat.

snoop around in the manuel and see what it says, it should tell you the temperature. mine said it was about 150F(the other one) then in the safety precautions section it said that since temps reach between 110-140 its best to keep it on a hard surface away from flamable stuff. and yeah i agree, its going to be too high for your mushies to not lose any potency.
if u got the reciept, return it, and get the one at walmart(they only have one dehydrator they sell, and thats the one with temp control)

well my dehydrator goes down to 95F but i was still a little paranoid about the heat so i just disconected the heating source. mine required me to bypass the heat springs altogether. it was simple, you just take your hot wire from the outlet and twist it to the hot wire for the fan, easy and simple. red=hot

Heat is not a problem until it gets over 160-200 degs. Think about this people. We have been making Shroom tea for 30 years or more. What temp does water boil at ?212 degs. What temp does water start to steam ? 165 degs
I have been drying shrooms for many years in front of a small space heater on a window screen.
Sometime a a few years back a smart person asked themselves " What would be the very best way to dry my shrooms ?" They came up with desiccant. It works perfect and subjects the shrooms to zero heat. So they told some people and then this tek became the ONLY WAY TO DRY SHROOMS and ANY HEAT WILL HURT THEM.
Not true and do not buy it. I have done some pretty careful experiments with shrooms dried in 100 deg, 140 deg and desiccant. There was no difference. Not to me or any of my dozens of friends that consumed them.
This Myth needs to be debunked. If you want to harm your shrooms with heat. You need heat them over 160 degs and keep them there for a long time.
