I just finished a second run of the drier. I'm no longer sure the thermostat is broken, I put a dial thermometer in there this time that I could see through the plastic door. It never got as warm in there as I'd thought, so I turned up the thermostat. That 600W element can't heat two buckets of plums up that far that fast! I think it got up to 120 degrees in there, and the target was 140. Though it drew more power this time it was done in less time, about 22kWH and 36 hours. The optimal target would be 24 hours or a bit less, one could do a load a day then and really put them away.
I got another 6#. They're in freezer bags. The first batch has had time to equalize, the crunchy edges are gone and the whole prune is soft. Dry, but soft. I ate a few! The neighbor's (very prolific) tree is empty, so I guess I'm done for this year. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
