Indoor Farmer exists to offer Canadian’s the opportunity to "grow their own" food and medicine. Over the years we have added a large selection of outdoor gardening products to compliment our indoor growing collection.
4) I made a plastic shield to protect the main circuit board of the FDer. it simply slides into place and protects the top and both sides of the board from condensation.
Suitable placement of food around the freeze drying trays is much more than simply an aesthetic option—it’s a science. Making sure an excellent distribution, without the need of overpacking, is essential for reaching a dependable freeze drying end result.
Truth be told, there isn’t much of a difference in terms of interface, but the Pharmaceutical models do offer a bit more customization in terms of settings. The Home Pro models however get the job done just as well and have bigger capacity for the money.
The pros and cons are easy to understand. In fact, there really is only one pro and it’s a huge one. Those who are willing to spend the time and money to freeze dry their own food should do so as long as they’re going to be committed.

Hopefully I said that in a way that makes sense! As well, does it matter which port is used as "in" and which as "out"?
What I presume was happening was that condensation was building up on the cooling Shop Now coils between the insulation and the chamber and freezing. When I finally turned the FDer off it took 3 days for the ice buildup to melt and slowly soak through the insulation and drip onto the counter.
The evaporator coils that touch the surface of the stainless steel vacuum chamber reach about -42 F. With food in the chamber and because the location of the thermister is on the middle shelf of the four shelves, the temperature it records is going to range from -25 to -30 F in the nove hour default freeze time. This temperature is very adequate for freeze drying the food.
12 Posted September 16, 2015 You've given me an idea. I have the parts at the shop to use an actual filter head and a spin on filter. I could have a bracket laser cut and powder-coated that would hold the filter/head assembly horizontal which would allow it to completely drain and the outside of the filter would stay clean.
7. Energy Efficiency: Evaluate the energy consumption of different models since this will affect your electricity bills over time.
5 Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks dsheidt. I was afraid that the AN8 fittings I could find might not be long enough to provide the space needed so that the oil could flow over the top of the filter, especially given my "disk" method of holding up the can.
Now that I've filled you in on why the most affordable freeze dryer is the small Harvest Right, let's talk about how you can score one without breaking the bank.
The system records and maintains a log of the pressure and temperature during all parts of the freeze-dry cycle.
