Dry'in midrib in the kiln.

[Knucklehead]

It looks good. So at this point, do you think you could run it through a regular kiln cycle and be finished with it?

 

[Boboro]

I still have to dry the mid rib. Then I could, But Ill raise the RH pack it in boxes and Dry it out and store it. I need the room in the shed.

Nice photo tobacco is almost there, gives me hope for my adventure coming up.

 

[Boboro]

I hope I dont have to take the green out of much of it. Most will go in yellow And all I have to do is dry the rib. That onley takes a few days. You gota get that rib dry before you store or it will mold.

You gota get that rib dry before you store or it will mold.

That ain't no lie, in a blink of a eye it'll mold.

 

[Boboro]

Poke it, mash on it, make sure its dry. you dont want to open up a box of wolly buggers.

 

[Boboro]

Still tryin to dry the rib. I hope to finish this bunch and load a new one Sunday morin.

 

[Knucklehead]

How does it compare to the same leaf still hanging in the shed?

 

[Boboro]

It will be boxed up and stored this weekend. The stuff in the shed is yellow but not dry. I will go strate to dryin it. Ill cut 3 days out by not havein to take the green out.

[Boboro]

[Boboro]

[Knucklehead]

I have some leaf that's all brown but the rib is not dry. Can I put it in the sun to dry the rib?

 

[Boboro]

I think so. Or the oven at low temp.
