I don't have (cheap) access to the woods you folks do and I just happened to bring back some mesquite chips and seeds last time I was home. I've got mango and tamarind in my yard and have used the mango on butts with decent results. My sister has been raving about her dehydrater for a couple of years but I don't have one. Do you think using a gas oven turned down to flicker would work for something like this? I'd love to pass some bottles of this stuff around to friends. David -- What's Hua Hin?
