You've eliminated the labor of carrying whole stalks (up to 10 pounds each) from the field to the shed. I carry 4 at a time, and make a lot of trips. Aching arms when I'm done.

Shed full already? I'm impressed. I'm trying to restrain myself from harvesting too early this year, give more time to ripen and maybe get thicker/heavier leaf.
I do the same..I let them go as long as possible

If it doesn't dry green, then you're a genius. If it dries green, then that's not so good. Good luck. 110ºF seems high for leaf that needs to remain alive while color-curing.

I been doing the same..running my heater on low..day/night...keeping a steady temp of a wet 80 degrees... I say "wet" because I'm curing them in a spare bedroom...that I built a very nice..3 tier hanging rack in...

I'm in the process of going from dish..back to cable..so I don't have a home internet right now..and I can't post pics from my phone..

Been a good year.growing for me..just not a good year for keeping a updated grow blog...

But when I do update it..boy do I got a lot of pics.,

Your hanging brown leaf looks excellent.
