Re: [Paddlewise] dehydrator recipes.

We got a dehydrator as a wedding present, and it's turned out to be very
well used. It's the American Harvester Snack Master model.  Jerky works
well, as does dried tomatoes and pears.  Peaches are ok, pineapple is very
good.  I can recommend the book Dry It, You'll Like It, by Gen Macmaniman,
published by MacManiman inc, PO Box 546 Fall City WA  98024.

As far as camp stove outside at home, that's a very normal experience in the
summer, though the neighbors have odd reactions to it in winter!
