I've only encountered 1 little problem since I began MYO last Dec. Otherwise it has been great. Humidity and moisture. On rainy or humid days with a high dew point the tobacco just won't dry out properly and injecting is a pain.

Any good ideas for easily removing the moisture on those wet and humid suumer days, Thanks, Jack

I read on another thread where someone had the same problem. The solution was to place the tobacco under the window air conditioner for several hours.

I would think that placing it under a heat lamp might accomplish the same.

Don't know if either works, simply suggestions at this point.

Thanks Zippy,

No AC, usually a cool climate where I am and today the humidity is gone. Heat lamp sounds like a good idea or maybe a small electric space heater might dry it out. Thought about the oven, but the tobacco could get extra crispy. Maybe a very small dehumidifier would work? I only get about 30 real humid days so it is not a very big issue for me.

One other method, would be to stick it in a frost-free refrigerator un- covered overnight.
