I don't know why you couldn't other than how much smoke would leak out everywhere since a dehydrator is designed for max airflow and a smoker is designed for holding smoke in and releasing it slower. I'm doing some jerky now and I have just been skipping the smoke step and no one has complained yet. I'm sure others with more expertise than me will be along to shoot holes in any flaws in my thinking.

Smoke daddy nozzle gets pretty freakin hot so you would need to mount to metal.

For the past year I've been researching cold smoke guns, and I'm about to either buy one or build one very soon. You may want to take a look at those. The average cost is around $100, but there are several DIY projects that bring the cost to around $20. From what I've research, you only need a short period of time to apply the smoke, so using one of these you may not have to make any modification to your dehydrator.
