Title: Anyone figure out the dryer yet?
Post by: oldchenowth on July 25, 2011, 10:37:03 AM

I remember someone on here was going to hook up a dryer.  Anyone work out the bugs?  If so, how about some pics?  Consumers Energy is more than doubling their price for electric after 600kw, so I am way more interested now than I was six months ago.  After roof repairs and tuition and electric in the barn, I just may find time to mess with this idea again.

Just curious.

Mine has been being used for probably at least 4 or 5 years. It works good enough so I never bothered changing anything on it.
I was thinking about putting together a kit but not sure how good it would sell. I was hoping to find a small heat exchanger for a decent price but 12x12 is about as small as I can find.

If you are interested in piecing one together and trying it out send me a PM.
