That's pretty impressive!

So the rocket fired dehydrator was just fired once at the beginning?

This ran over multiple days from what I understand,   I have the same question, did they start a fire once at the start of the day for the test?      

Another element that would be interesting to have is the weight of the wood at the start compared to the end.
