Adding Front Seal Insulation To A Harvest Right Freeze Dryer

In this video I show how I added insulation around the door seal of our freeze dryer.

By adding insulation around the door seal of our Harvest Right freeze dryer, it helps prevent condensation and ice from forming around the outside of the seal. (which later will melt and run down the front) Also, I show a modification I made to the door pivots.

Catwood Cooking tries to put up their freeze drying videos each Friday; consider going over and checking out their channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Xttj6OctZs_KBsv6_TNyQ/videos
