Any benefit to air-frying gathered wood this way?

Could be part of prepping wood to integrate into an enclosure for a reptile or similar. You have to be really particular about contamination and moisture so I could see using a low heat to dry it out as part of prep
Can you get a low enough heat in an air fryer? The lowest mine goes is 180C.
Some of them literally have a "dehydrator" setting that I think is fairly low.
Ah, ok. Admittedly, mine's just a cheap one I got from K-Mart.
Holy blue light special Batman!
Kmart, you say?
They're still pretty common in Aus. Different company to the US one though, I believe.
It is, yes. I remember that the international stores got sold to a different company when Sears liquidated the US stores. I’m just being silly.
My first thought as well, reptiles or aquatics.
I was just about to comment this. I keep fish, and I bake all the leaves and twigs I put into my tanks in case they have something dangerous in them.
