My folks always said that Burley doesn't dry well unless it is hanging in a White Oak built,well ventilated,tight roofed drying Barn. Many is the times a group of small fires were lit in the alleyway to create heat to speed the drying process. And yes they were never left unattended.The use of wires suggest open air drying.It also suggests a small quantity for personal. Is this correct? If so I hope he does not fail in his experiment as no past history of this type of drying system is suggested. My Family raised Tobbaco for at least since the Civil War in central Kentucky.Sadly or gladly which ever way you want to look at it,no one in my Family is actively raising it nowdays although the Acreage allotments are still being planted or manaqed. I was born in Kentucky and am proud to say so.
