Yeah, that's the point (hundreds).  I don't have time or inclination to consider all of them, or even several.  I was hoping to get some personal opinions about what works.  I have had some useful responses, but I'm a bit surprised that nobody is manufacturing one.  Maybe a product for a home business entrepreneur?

 

The owners of Boggy Creek Farm, in Austin, had a damaged Tomato crop a few years ago, so they developed a way to "smoke" dry/cure tomatoes.  They're a huge hit, so now they have a profitable outlet for any less-than-perfect Tomatoes.

"solar food dryers" on the internet or "solar dehydrators"  There are hundreds.

Please help me save some research.  I'll have a lot of Tomatoes coming on in the next week or two, and my wife just agreed to try to dry them.  I'd rather not have a 1,000W electric dryer, but if I want a solar dryer, apparently I have to build it, and I don't have much time to find the right design and execute.  Where do I go for a proven solar food dryer?
