want to say it was ~ $80 on amazon but mother in law had got me a $50 gift card to there so only set me back like $37 out of pocket.

I too have a blower, several 18" carbon filter and duct available. I'm not allowed to dehydrate in the kitchen any more. Wife woke up one day having an asthma attack and dogs wouldn't stop sneezing.

I dehydrate my peppers and just roast the family's eyeballs and singe their nose hairs. They expect it now
some I blend , some I keep separate. Different kinds will get smoked over either cherry, alder or applewood.
White pods probably won't get smoked like white bhut and white bullets.
D3 Goat and El scorponero taste great smoked over cherry.
Bonnets usually get mixed but I may do just a papa dreadie blend this year smoked. Pimento would be a good choice for that island taste.
I got a small handful of 1oz shakers on order should be showing up today. Will try those out and see how I like them.
Might be a little too large. .5 oz might be a better choice.
I used to use test tubes but they aren't very good for attaching labels. The latest brand I had nothing adhered to it very well. I might still do some in vials with heatshrink around the caps
1 oz shaker only holds .5 oz of powder Those are the ones I use.
Those are the ones I use. Ok, cool. Couldn't afford nice glass ones right now. Went with PET since it was nice and clear vs PP.JoynersHotPeppers said:1 oz shaker only holds .5 oz of powder
Did find a semi decent price on glass but would of had to order lids separate
Current price point worked out to about $1 each and i'm not overly happy with that
Yeah mine are glass, let me know how those work out for you. I found with plastic they can alter slightly.D3monic said:
I am guessing those were food grade?

It doesn't specify that but I know PET is used for water bottles and such.

overall i'm happy with the size
Only has one flip top opening, no sifter
Size comparison to your glass jars. I assume it hold similar volume just the nice thick glass adds to the overall size.
I think I will still do some vials too as they are nice for on the go, shove in a pocket or wifes purse. I make my wife keep at least one in each of her purses for when we go out to dinner
Good luck with them! I do like the fact they are BPA free, many folks look for that now.

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked them up.
Looks like price is still close to $1 each even from sks. I can get two bags of 1 oz jars 96 total and a bag of lids 144 count (lids are PP) and total is = $93 before tax and shippings.
at least with amazon prime I get free shippings.
I'll have to keep looking around.

Jars real cheap, but no shaker lid.

SWEET Dehydrator ! Mama tried to make me take the dehydrators out to the garage also , Told her no way , to humid out , so i run them in the grow room , 
Yea that's the problem with garage it just adds to dry time. Think i'm going to set up a nice little station in the basement and vent the dehydrator out basement window. D3 Goat will be hottest pepper I have this year so other than that shouldn't be too nuclear.moruga welder said:SWEET Dehydrator !
