Can the SmokinTex 1400 temp be set low enough to just dehydrate fruits and veggies?

Sorry we have not tried to dehydrate with the smoker, we have a food dehydrator. Good luck!

I believe it can. The smoker is able to smoke cheese with a cold plate so dehydrating fruit and vegetables should work.

I am not sure, I would call Smokin Tex office tomorrow, their number is 888 922 1511.

I think the answer is yes if you're using a large container, however, in a small container I don't think the water temp would differ from one side of the container to the other. I have only cooked for my wife and I with my DSV using a small container. I hope someone with more experience and larger cooks will help you out. Good luck and good cooking.

No it's not, but you could program the stat to turn the temperature down for all but one hour of the day. I think 41 degrees is as low as the stat will go.

Hi Scott, Yes you can,but with any open heat source just don't leave it unattended for a long period of time. We love ours very much just the other day I did a roast,potatoes and buns in mine.if you didn't know they make a top rack that's a must have to layer foods. PS we burned a hole in a deck with the weber smoker once,,,Lordy be so I get the question...lol Happy cookin! Mo

I would suggest internet searching about dehydrating temps. I know that if you want raw food to retain all of it's enzymes, you should use heat over 150-115 degrees. If that is not an issue for you, it would probably depend on what it is you are dehydrating. I would definitely look for info on the internet.

Not long. You want the temperature change to be slow anyways so it wont chock the system

I've never used the TSM. The temp on this dehydrator doesn't get higher than 115 degrees. :( It takes days to dehydrate even thinly sliced produce. I'm very disappointed.

Yes! Setting a specific temp is impossible (a lot of tinkering with knob), a good cooked steak is possible.

Yes, however there is no exact temp setting. There is a gas level control from high to low. When I do soldering, I like to have it at minimum setting using blow torch I have it higher etc...,

I don't know. It is set with numbers which I think starts at 125. I never needed precise temps for the veggies and fruits which is all I ever used it for.

Unfortunately, there is only an on/off switch, and one temperature. So far, I have been pleased with the way the fruits and vegetables have turned out.

Absolutely not. In fact, I used mine today and made a delicious sweet potato. It was bigger than usual so I added a few extra minutes. My problem is I never know what temp to use as it says do not cook on high so I use 50-60% power.

I don't think so- there is just one switch. I've dehydrated a variety of things at the same temp with no problems however.

The Yogurtmet maker is too hot for the SCD diet. I'd love to find one that keeps the temperature between 100-110 degrees. Any suggestions?

I think it is probably best to use at least a couple of quarts of fruit....otherwise the concentrated fruit juice may be too watered down from the steam.

Turn the temp to high for 30-40 minutes, then reduce the tempto med. be sure there is eater in the pot.

It doesn't have a temperature adjustment on it, but I think it gets up to like 110 degrees. It was a little low for what I was dehydrating and it took forever and made the trays brittle. But it would be perfect for herbs or fruit leathers, certainly nothing thicker than 1/4 inch. It's super basic, if you're looking to start dehydrating every weekend get something a little more sturdy, if you want to experiment but are nervous this is the way to go. It's hard to screw up when there's nothing to adjust.
