The shelf heaters can be set to automatically control the rate of sublimation during the primary drying cycle.

Let's do a simple math exercise. Non Frozen food put in freeze dryer at an ambient temp of 70F needs to be at -40F before the dry cycle begins. things go linear, each hour the temps would drop the food by 12.

1. Inadequate Drying Time: If your food is not completely dry after a cycle, it may require additional time. Always check moisture levels before sealing.

When isolated, the pump seems to behave well. Short of putting a meter on the pump, my impression is that it is operating properly. I'm considering investing in a good meter to verify that it is reaching a good ultimate vacuum.

If you store something with fats and oils in it, it can go rancid quicker than those without it. So again, something that has a higher fat content, it may only last about 10 years instead of 25 years.

For the price of a large home freeze dryer one can have 48 servings of premium freeze dried beef delivered to their home every month for a year with promo code “jdr“.

Other companies sell “beef crumbles” or other versions of scrap beef that have nearly as much fat as protein, and they often sell for more than we do.

The freeze dried food can be used for everyday eating, camping and of course, long term storage. I freeze dry as much as I can while times are good, I won’t plan to freeze dry if I go off-grid or don’t have electricity.

AN8 male fittings are 3/4 X 16tpi. Should be able to get one that will work in this application. Also, there filters that use metric threads, might be easier to deal with.

We had a sponsored post come over on my other sites that asked the question, “Should you buy a freeze dryer?

Remove all ice every 8 hours of drying time. It is amazing how much faster the drying time drops doing this. A side benefit is water vapor does not contaminate the oil as fast. I've gotten up to 20 cycle per oil change by carefully monitoring the oil and water.

Are there any customs fees? Pelo, we cover any & all duty or import fees. There are no additional customs fees when you purchase from Know More us upon delivery.

Forgive me for the extremely long post but I thought other southerners may also face this problem and could use this information.

•Control of the shelf temperature during the dry cycle. This includes setting as many as five different shelf temperatures, thus allowing the material to dry in phases, at different temperatures.
