Knucks, you asked if i would do anything different on a curing chamber.....just thought of it and YES. I would add a heat/humidity box OUTSIDE the chamber.... Like a bbq smoker where the fire box is on the side. Then i could use all the space inside for bacca. AS is, the crock and element will scorch the tips of a few leaves placed too low.
i would say the opposite,
my first small kiln had the box set outside,
i used a fan to push the heat '' out '' to the leaf,
and didnt like the setup too good,
i like my heat source to be under the leaf,,, and the crock-pot under the leaf.
that way the heat and the humidity can '' rise'' up thru the leaf,

nice to see you 2 had a good time,
i read in the shredder thread, about him using that machine,,,
it's a machine that once you see it in action, you'll no longer be sitting on the fence thinking about getting one,
