---For large quantity food dehydration try
this homemade gem from the past.
by Rev. J.D. Hooker

The thing I like the most about Backwoods Home is that, unlike a lot of other
magazines, the articles are written by folks who are actually doing the things
they write about. Folks like Massad Ayoob, Don Fallick, and Dynah Geissal have
already learned their stuff by trial and error, which can save the rest of us
the time, troubles, and expenses of initial experimentation.
It’s good to fool
around with new ideas, but we can use other folks’ experience as proven
starting points, and then adapt our own ideas and improvements into their
concepts. As an example of building on someone else’s experience, let me tell
you how I ended up building the perfect large-quantity food dehydrator.
