yea a dehydrator would work well.
but for smoking you will want to re-moisten the herb a little bit.
this is easily done by putting it in a sealed container with a damp paper towel (lettuce and orange peels are said to work too - make sure the paper towel isn't directly contacting the herb).
but that is the case even if you don't use a dehydrator. so dehydrate away
