What are your thoughts on how we can control heat inside the Wheaton ATC solar dehydrator? For instance, say I wanted to dry herbs at a temperature not over 104 fahrenheit in order to keep specific nutrients intact. Is there a way to regulate heat?

This is an example I thought of- a lever that is actuated by temperature to open or close the the air flow based on air temp: https://orbesenteknik.com/more/window-openers/

But the concern here is that once it got hot it would just close air flow entirely.

Thoughts? Thank you.
 
You are HERE! The other map is obviously wrong. Better confirm with this tiny ad:
