So, then why would you wanna oven/microwave dry it? Why can't you just dry, then cure?

You have to dry it before you pop it into jars. I've heard of some people who dry it for less (5 days) and even up to 2 weeks. Personally 7 days is my preference. You see the dry box (just a box with strings strung across) and then the jars after that, opening them several times a day for the first couple weeks, then several times a week for a month, then they be ready to :rastasmoke:. Any time more than that is just gravy.
