I plan on making a solar food dehydrator this summer and wanted to get some feed back from you guys. I plan on making a solar collector box black on the inside and covered with an old window pane. At the top I'm going to run a vent up to my food box and at the bottom will be an air intake to replenish the solar collector so as the air in the solar collector is heated and rises into the food box new fresh air accumulates in the solar collector to be heated. I got this idea online but can't remember were so I was hoping someone on this forum would have idea some advice or maybe a link to help me out. Theres a few things I'm not sure about like does my food box need an exhaust and what should I use as food trays to dry food will the same trays I use to dry meat work for fruit and vegetables?
