We were wondering if anyone here has experience with drying fruit, and veggies in a solar food dryer. We have looked at several designs online, and would like to see what you have that really work well.

did you ever update this? or make the improvements? how would you do it if you were gonna try again? would something like this work on jerky? should it be done on a smaller scale?

we did, we removed the cans and went with just the painted metal and plexi glass enclosure, it should be smaller though
