Has any listee built and used the solar dehydrator developed by Lea?
I'm interested in any feedback on its performance.

I built the one that was based on a 55 gallon metal drum, encased in fiberglass. Is that the one you mean? It worked -- sort of. My conclusion was that it didn't have enuf collector area to generate enuf heat. I added a small fan to help draw air thru and a bank of light bulbs for backup heat at night. I would recommend a different design.
