I highly recommend the Nesco FD 75 PR or Open Country 700 watt models. Both are made by Nesco. I'm part way through writing my second wilderness cookbook and I've used and abused my FD 75... for $69.00 it has held up to everything I've put it through and still runs like new.

Whatever you end up getting, make sure it has a temperature control, goes to at least 155ºF and does not have the fan on the bottom.

Hope that helps.
