Mephistos Minion Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Nice job, I have built something like that, mine is taller though. It is built pretty much right on passfire specs, so I might post pics. It isnt totally done yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilo_G Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Something worth noting here, since no one has said it. Star size. Just because you have a forced drying box for your stars does not mean you can roll them big. Forced drying makes the process of rolling stars easier because if you go in smaller size increments with the stars they will quicker drying intervals between layers/sizes. It will create problems (driven in stars) if you make a star that takes a fair amount of water and or has charcoal in it, like tiger tail. Usually with rolled stars, i see them rolled to 1/8" to 1/4" (with 3/16" being the norm) then dried, then another 1/8 to 3/16" added and so on.

FrankRizzo Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 What sort of heating / dehydration mechanism is in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noslo98 Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 All i am using is the fans currently since it is still so warm here it is working good.The stars are all drying even and not cracking so its doing its job in my oppinion.It works good for a basic throw together design.

Ozzy Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Butt it takes up an ass load of space other wise i would build one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noslo98 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 I know thats the downside to it but atleast i can keep all my stars in one centeral location instead of placed all over the place on screens now.LOL Also it is bigger than i planned on doing but i am glad i made it bigger now it is nice having the extra space so i can dry rice hulls on one tray if i want and still have plenty of room for stars.
