No that doesn't sound familiar, however, someone posted a link yesterday that had a link to a link to.... an easy desert way of dehydrating.   Then there was another one from a native indian site also posted, but I haven't finished reading that one yet.

Leslie -
 
Lisa just mentioned several ways...were you on the list already (just a  
while back) when there was a discussion on dehydrators? It got quite 
interesting, 
including how to make them yourself, and using old abandoned  automobiles and 
such.

Leslie, you'll find that in your garden you'll  have successes and
failures
and may not predict ahead of time which will be  what. When something does
spectacularly well, take advantage and put it up  (can, freeze, dehydrate,
save seeds) as best you can. Since you live in the  desert, you can probably
dehydrate food well in the summer. An example of  an unexpected change from
year to year is that we had tons of fruit this  year, but last year we
didn't
have any due to the freeze on the East Coast.  You never know what next
year's garden will be like. Just keep plugging  along. I'm a puppy on
the Big
Dog path of gardening, but even I continue to  make progress.
