    First ABT

    How do you dry peppers?

    I strung up a bunch of paprika and cayenne last year. Some molded some dried nicely. Is there a better way? I have a few paprika, sweet banana, jalapeño & cayenne ready now. Gonna chop and freeze some bells. Is it better to throw the banana peppers in with them?

    Free Barrels - worth it?

    Contractor friend has 3 empty barrels on site I can have. They contained 1 of a 2-part spray insulation. Anybody know if these are OK to use. I will burn out and sand, but have reservations. Free is not always best.
