Drying Muliple Bowls at Once?

[gmwolford]

I ( thus far) am an aro smoker. I know that they pretty much all need some drying time. Yesterday I laid out about 1/2 oz of one baccy to dry a while, figuring I'd store the "extra" in a zip bag for later use without the wait. So this morning I'm wondering if this is a good idea? Anyone else pre-dry and are there any downsides I'm not aware of?

It depends how often you are going to smoke. Only down side is if a fan blows it away or some one messes with the drying tobacco.
As a suggestion use an old egg carton to dry the baccy out. I do this with several blends and can pick which one I want to smoke.

I figured on only drying what I would smoke within two days. I plan on doing my drying when I am at home alone so there should be no problem with it being messed with. I have already thought about the nightmare mess if I left it down where my three year old grandson could get a hold of it! 8O But I'll definitly have to remember to keep the ceiling fan off.

The cool thing about using the egg carton is you can punch holes in the top and it can keep it from blowing around. then just set it up on a shelf away from the young ones. I have a 2 year old and am a stay at home dad currently and this is a great way to do this.

For Aro's, I just leave the cover off the tin for a couple days at least.

Thanks for the egg carton idea.

I dry my tobacco under the heat of a desk lamp bulb one bowl at a time. I will dry my first bowl for 15-20 minutes while I have a meal. After the meal, I pack my bowl, light up, and then set another bowl out to dry while I smoke the first one. After I have my first smoke, I grab my second bowl, pack it up, light up, etc. You can do this with as many bowls as you smoke throughout the day unless you travel a lot. In this case, it is a bit tricky.
