You could always just stick em in the fridge. will dry them out in no time. stick em in the dry bit up the top and they dry real quick, no need to outlay for a new microwave or anything else. the dehydrator should work well for small pieces also. You can do it by weighing the pieces. water being approx 70 percent of the green weight dehydrate till the weight has reduced by the appropriate amount. i.e. 1kg of wood = 700 g of moisture, you want to get roughly 8.5 to 12% moisture content. see if you can do the maths from here. might save you some money on a moisture meter.
