I was sitting here at work and this idea suddenly struck me, as I chewed on some jerky, I wonder if there is a way to make a dehydrator without using electricity or fire. A solar dehydrator would be handy for fruits and vegetables. Here ya go...

And another handy item would be a homemade smoker, pretty simple to make out of a steel trash can. I would make it so you can use fire as well as an electric hot plate to heat your wood chips in case of SHTF and no more power. Enjoy.
