  A low oven will do it if it's low enough: ideally it needs to be set for
  150-175 degrees F. Other options include a food dehydrator, and Mr.
  Golden Sun, in appropriate weather/humidity. You can make a wooden frame
  and stretch window screen stuff (the nylon stuff is good because it's
  non-reactive) over it.

Home made food dehyrdators were all the rage around here a few years ago,
before the commercial ones became available.  To handwave the design, make a
square or rectangular vertical plywood box, with a lid, but with gaps at
the top and bottom, and with a door in the front, and pull out grates or
screens.  Underneath it all, add a drip tray, a 100 watt bulb, and place
some foil over the bulb to keep the food off it.  Gaps at the top and bottom
allow warm air to rise, and drive the moisture off.
