My compressed air dryer says it requires 4.5lbs of desiccant. Does anyone know how many of these 1 quart containers equals approximately 4.5lbs?

I have a 1 quart jar of this and it weighs 1.8 pounds (including the plastic container).

Dear Stevek, I have the 3.5 quart size. The booklet says for meats use 2oz. For vegetables use 4 oz. For other foods you can add more water. Mostly what I did was experiment. I noticed that foods cooked in the pressure cooker tend to cook out a lot of liquid, similar to a slow cooker. So, over time you get accustomed to adding just a small amount of water, probably less than one cup. However, when cooking dried beans that have been soaked you do need water to cover and I like to cook them for about 1 hour on the first red marker. Enjoy your Rikon! Nancy

One quart can should be sufficient. I finished an entire crib, all four sides front and back 3-4 coats and the narrow sides were solid. I used just a hair more than one can.

So far I used it 8 times and the container is just about a little bit under half way full. Just remember to dilute it with distilled water. Its extremely harsh if applied full strength, be careful.

a one quart can covered a space of about four feet bu six feet. i dont know if that is any help to you? but it seems to cover well and once it dries that real stickeyness is gone. for me it did a great job. will be purchasing more for my son inlaws camper roof. also its clear so you dont see if your sloppy.

TSA requirements are for a 1 quart ziploc bag, which is fairly close to the size of the bag these come in.I'd say you could get maybe a half dozen bottles or less into a quart bag. I usually take around 5: mouthwash, conditioner (shampoo is dry), lotion, toothpaste, and make-up remover.

Unit weight 2.25 pounds per http://www.conairdryer.com/products.php?product_id=40This is a blowing machine - most powerful hand held dryer I have ever had. Weight is not a problem for me.

I'd grab 2, put them in there, and check the humidity indicator card in a week to see how the humidity is doing in there. It's about how long you want to go between having to go back in and "recharge" the desiccant. You could always buy more desiccant so the moisture is being absorbed by more packs, and so each would get full slower, but of course more packs costs more money. Just remember that when the desiccant has absorbed all the moisture it can hold that you can put the desiccant in the oven for a few hours (directions online, and maybe on box, I forget) and bake the moisture out, then reuse the desiccant again! Also note, if you crawl space is relatively closed less moisture will enter over time, which would result in you being more successful at lowering the humidity in there.

The size of the drying unit is 4.52 * 1.49 in. (L*H), hope this would do some help.

I have a 12 Quart and I believe it is 4 pounds. I have it put up right now as I'm going to use it for preparing food for canning this summer. It was 1 pound lighter than my pampered chef 8 Quart.

I use 7 drops/quart but if you like you can dilute it until you see how your plant(s) respond. Maybe use half the recommended amount to start.

As I am still adding soil to my 2 bags, so this is going to be a guess, at best! I am using 62-64 dry quart bags of organic soil and feel that I will probably use at least 1 full bag and perhaps another 3-4 quarts for both of my potato bags! Hope this helps!

I haven't weighed it, but feels like 8 oz, can't say enough about it, best dryer I have ever had and doesn't aggravate tennis elbow

I purchased the 4.3 quart (135 1/4 ounce) and it is certainly big enough to hold a 5 lb bag of flour. It is really quite large... I use it in the refrigerator to keep my oil for deep frying clean and chilled. I have a deep fryer that takes two full bottles of vegetable oil and storing that in this container only fills it up to about halfway. I just can't imagine that you couldn't get the flour in there.

There are various BTU calculators available on the internet which take into account other conditions such as insulation, sun exposure, etc. It would seem that 18,000 would be plenty even if area were poorly insulated. However, not sure how much heat your dryers produce. Also, keep in mind that these mini-splits are far more efficient than window units.

I always weigh the can pre and post drying - it usually collects about 60 grams of water (ca 2 oz). My can is in a safe and I dry it out as soon as most indicator beads are green in color.

I went to eight trays and the drying time increased to the point that I bought a 1000 watt unit. The one I bought was well worth the money and just as cheap as buying more trays. Check out Open Country Dehydrator Gardenmaster 1000 Watt you would love it.
