   I have a very simple Nesco that I picked up in a yard sale. They still make   
   trays for it (link below) and I don't think it runs much electricity.   
   Certainly less than an electric oven. They dry will in the sun with a little   
   covering of cheese cloth. If you have a gas stove, you can get quite a bit   
   done if your's still has a pilot in it.
