Pine cone drying (Read 225 times)

Lee Watermann Senior Member Offline WR Rocks! Posts: 416	Pine cone drying Oct 6^th, 2018 at 9:40pm Just wondering if anyone has tried using a food dehydrator to dry pine cones. If so, any advantage other than the oven thing?

If you pick them green just lay them in a sunny spot until the cones open.

This. We actually soak them in a Clorox solution for 24 hours and then lay them in the sun for a couple days. Once they open up the tips have almost a frosted effect from the Clorox.
