Wishing you and your beloved once a spicy-hot, healthy and prosperous 2003!! End of our season here, all plants have been frozen to death. But in the mean time I have found an easy to build a dehydrator.... I just placed a 75 watts lightbulb on the bottom of my BBQ (it's a bullet one), cord goes trough the lover air vent. put a small aluminum tray on top of the bulb to avoid the light hitting the peppers direct, put the peppers on the grill switch the light on.. put the cover on and left the air vent open, works nice!
