Tobacco cultivation in Ukraine - 2025: @Sergey Ukraine

I'm curious. Is it ok to have the lids on the jars whilst in the kiln?

As long as the humidity is up it should be fine. I tried something similar last year with ziploc bags. I'd just air them out every 2-3 days

I keep them closed because it's easier for me to control the humidity in a sealed container. I open them once a day, pour the tobacco into a container, air it out for a couple of minutes, moisten it if necessary, and put it back in the jar and the chamber. The only inconvenience is that you have to open the jar immediately after taking it out of the chamber, and if it starts to cool down, it will be difficult to open.

Tonight it was +2°C. There was frost on the grass in the morning. Yesterday I set up the frame indoors and covered it with plastic wrap. There is a 750-watt heater inside. I left a gap at the bottom and top for natural air convection. The air parameters are shown in the photo.

That looks like you whipped the temperature problem. Nice work.
