Dryers redux
Printficient:
Was talking to Winston today and he wondered if there was a market for a "small" gas dryer.
Is there?
If so, what would you like to see?
Size?
Efficiency?
Power Requirements?
Price Point?
Features?
Let me know and I will let Winston know.
Thanks

Small, cheap, efficient, zero electricity usage--all solar baby!
All for under $250!
Seriously, I think if you could make one that was 24-30" wide, 4-6' of heat, 110v or 220v, for about the same price as an electric, you'd have a good oven.

Why not make it a propane gas dryer that runs off 110 and propane. It will be the gas grill of dryers. 30 inch belt, 5 feet of heat. 3 feet Infeed and Outfeed. No gas line or electric needs to be run and you have a high production dryer you can put anywhere.

I might be mistaken here, but I doubt you can get high production and gas in 5' of heat. My electric panels are several hundred degrees higher than what gas will do so it just does not seem likely that you will get any production friendly numbers from a narrow slow moving belt. . .

I really know nothing about gas dryers. I want to do a propane dryer for my next dryer (no natural gas in my shop). I just bought a used Workhorse 5217. It has a 52 inch belt and I am loving it. I will not even post what I got it for. Great deal.
