Well, to be honest you might be disappointed. It only has 3 of it's 4 racks, it has no on/off switch. That also looks like it was not well cared for. A brand new one of that model sells for around $130. I paid I think $250 FOR mine and it has 6 racks which gives me lots of room to remove racks to raise dough, dry crafts, etc. As as well as saving lots of time by allowing .e to dry a lot of the same, or different things at the same time. I also have a lot more temp flexibility. If you invest in what you really need now, your Excalibur will keep you happy for years. Besides, check their website and get on their mailing list. In the fall they normally offer great deals and throw in lots of extra goodies. THINK I just got an email from them the other day. Just an FYI, my old Excalibur, which still works great, is well over 10 years old.


Just saw JJs suggestion. For $50 it might be worth the risk.

Yes I think that with the small number of racks it won't save me much time and effort that the old round ones I have... I will just keep my eyes open

Morning ,
What I forgot to mention was that the racks on the Excalibur hold a lot more than the round ones and because of the superior design, things dry much faster.

Yep! That is the one I have and I love it!!! Only thing I t doesn't have is the timer. Forgot that both mine have 8 racks (had to actually count them-darn crs)

bl4- do you still have water? gas stove?. I hate having no water when the power goes out here, and I refuse to buy water! I would rather find a hotel and sit in their hot tub to wait for the power to come back on.

I lost a chick today. Of course it had to be a Lav Orp. It some how got out of the nursery, out of the back shed, and INTO the big duck pool. Drown. I looked at the space available to crawl under the door, and didn't think it was big enough for a chick to get out. Guess I was wrong. Putting bricks in front of the gap again.

I do have a pair of fancy chicks coming this week. But I'm not saying what, or from where, and defo not how much. You'll just have to "be patient" (robin's favorite trait!)

Oh no! Which one was it? Chunky Monkey or the barred one? That stinks. You have the absolute worst luck with lavs, girlie.
I do have 2 lav chicks that are the same age as yours if you want them. We could always have a meet up at Terris.

Where is Terri, anyhow? She must have had one heck of a campout with Cuties and the clan.

I know what kind of fancy-schmancy chicks you're getting, and how much they were. I still think you're nuts.

So you're just getting the 2? For the price of them, you darn well better brood those babies in the house to avoid any more "accidents".

Bl4, so sorry to hear about the power outage. 2-3 days?!?!?!? WTH? Did a tornado take out part of an entire power plant? It isn't like you're out in the sticks somewhere. Wow, that stinks, especially the no coffee part.

And here you were wishing for rain..............

Cind, you crack me up!
