I dry mine entirely in the Little Chief.  Takes between 1-2 days
(depends on outside air temps, chile types, smiling gods, etc.)
Usually I use apple, cherry or hickory for the wood with a slight 
preference for apple over the cherry and the hickory if I have
nothing else.  I've never had a problem doing it this way.

Wondering if the remaining Chocolate habs have a chance to ripen ....
Cheers,
Kris
