Thanks for the advice. I planned to give it a try soon. The temp is digitally control so setting it between 120-145F wouldn't be a problem.

Does tobacco need light during the drying process, or do you think drying inside the smoker without the heating element turned on might work?

Thanks again,

The tobacco doesn't have to have sunlight, in fact, the sun-cured tobacco that I was trying is primarily an old Turkish method. Now I know why Turks buy American cigarettes. ;)

The smoker with no heat should be fine for drying the tobacco. I use the house because I control the humidity and keep everything from getting too dry, and of course, because of the volume I dry and cure.
