Solar dryers are a simple and energy-saving way to dry your own food, herbs, veggies and fruits alike.

The solar dryer box is compact, easy to handle and can be disassembled in a few steps.

The basic idea for this dryer comes from the book "Sun Works Solar Food Dryer" by Eben Foder, which contains detailed information on solar food drying and instructions for a similar solar dryer box.

Made mostly of spare wood, this dryer costs almost nothing in materials. You need some woodworking skills to build it the way it's described here, with swallowtail joints and the like, but there's ways to simplify it. You'll find detailed step by step instructions with all the necessary measures on instructables.com just follow the webiste link.
