Non-Electric Dehydrator - How to Build an Infrared Solar Dryer

Preserving garden bounty is an important part of self-reliance. An efficient way to preserve the harvest is by dehydrating food. Electric dehydrators are a great way to go. However, in a true survival scenario, the luxury of electricity may not be available. Our infrared solar dryer is an effective way to dry fruits and vegetables using only the power of the sun.Show more

Why use infrared solar drying to preserve fruits and vegetables? An infrared solar dryer takes advantage of the free energy of the sun. The food is not exposed to sunlight which leads to vitamin loss. It is simple to construct and best of all it does not require electricity to preserve fruits and vegetables.

We have been searching for the right solar dehydrator design and were excited when we came across Tom Bartels’ infrared solar dryer. The design is simple, yet highly effective. We are currently taking a biointensive gardening class from Tom Bartels. You might want to check out Tom’s free video workshop at https://growfoodwell.lpages.co/gfwspringcvpro/
