You can dry outdoors if the weather is dry enough, but you have to build a cover so they aren't exposed to dewfall. Good airflow is important.

When dry, jar them up for at least a 2 week cure.

I don't see the big hubbub about water curing. Seems like a lot of trouble, extra handling, risk of mold if not dried right, etc. Why reinvent the wheel?
Right on. I just want to cure them and dry them as quickly as possible so I have something to smoke and sell. I guess I'm gonna go build something as soon as possible.
