[pct-l] RE: dehydrators

[osprey at att.net (Rick Alway)]

I'd highly recommend the ExcaliburTR Dehydrator Model 2900
http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/dehydrators.asp.  Even at $210, the
amount of use I've gotten out of this 9 tray (Approx 14" by 14") [with
teflon sheets] dehydrator preparing for many trips as well as for 4.5
months on the PCT in 2005, it worth it. If you plan to dehydrate all or
most of your meals, it's a big job and I'd recommend a big dehydrator.
Even if you're only using it for 1 long distance hike, you could
probably sell it to another person the following year and recoup some of
your investment.

wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a dehydrator?  we've
called 
and found out they're selling at walmart for $40 and ace hardware for 
between $40 and $120.  any particular brands people recommend or
features to 
look for?  also any good websites for directions on how to use them and
what 
to make, etc?
