Here is yet another new trend in drying tumbled stainless pin brass:

You can read more about it on the webpage and a vendor in Canada sells it. But I also found that Cabelas.ca sells that same exact model so you can opt for the free shipping/pickup in store.

Personally I just let them dry on a towel but I'm a sucker for toys, might try one out (now of course you could pickup any $39.99 dehydrator at Walmart).

I got the CED dryer because I tend to save up my brass and process it when I get a 5 gallon bucket full. I don't deprime before I tumble it, and let it dry for about 3-4 hours and then don't have to worry about any dampness being trapped in the primer pockets.
 
How much brass are you drying? I'm doing 4 scoops of 9mm (~500-600pcs) at a time because that's a full tumbling load. I leave the heat at the default setting. Haven't tried the higher heat settings for a quicker batch time yet, but would love to shorten up the drying cycle to match the tumbling batch time.

All I need is 45 minutes and everything is bone dry. I leave the primers in also.

More or less the same as you. I load it up.
 
Sh!t I had them in for that long and when I pulled them out they where still wet. I'm sure had I kept them in longer they would dry. For me the dehydrator works perfect and compact

Hmm you must have run out of gas lol

The only difference is I have one of those new fangled twin ovens and put them in the smaller oven that may account for it.. so a little longer would do the trick in a big oven that is harder to heat up.. and preheat to 200 if necessary.
 
I tried the oven thing a couple of times too. Had better luck if I propped the oven door open a bit to get some airflow going. I like to cook though, and didn't like having cookie trays of shells all over the place in my kitchen, so went the with a tumbler and dryer combo I can setup in my basement.

I've got a 36" gas range tried your idea first it did nothing to get the results you say so I bought a dehydrator this way I can clean and dry all in the same area
