Your dehydrator is perfect for drying herbs! The quality and the features will determine your results. The Excalibur is definitely the best as you can control the temp and the time. For most herbs temps of 105F are best and most raw foodist will warn you about temps above 130F as it will destroy live enzymes and antioxidants that will be destroyed at higher temps. If you can't get your dehydrator to follow that temp, get an oven thermometer and put your oven on the lowest temp and leave it cracked open. You can check the thermometer for guidance. Make sure the herbs are completely dry before packaging or you will get mold.
