Food dehydrator for curing?

[ganjaballz]

Is it possible to use a food dehydrator (the nicer ones with lots of space and a wide range of temp / time settings) to dry a crop?

I just sold my Excalibur dryer without thinking it might come in handy for this. If it's possible it should be easy to construct a large "cabinet" version of one.

They are really simple - just a cheap heating element, thermostat and fan.

re: the thread title, you cant use that for curing but you can use it fordrying. It would be ok to dry in a humid climate, not really needed in a medium or drier climate imo. My dad used one, but only for one season, the hanging racks are so much easier.

You've waited this long, no need to rush things...

I'm concerned about mold - hanging to dry might not be the best method in a hot and humid environment was my line of thought.

It would take a low setting and time but being able to control the temp and humidity precisely "should" be beneficial.
