Yep when i have excess mate i do...and they are excess i can still get them out and make sauces etc plus they can still be dehydrated to make salts.
I do prefer dehydrating them fresh though if im making powder or flakes though

Do you dry any the old fashioned way? With a needle and knotted thread. I have a few strings of them still, so I don't need to dry more, but I love the way they look hanging around.

Hang drying A standard sewing needle and thread is required. Start by threading the needle and making a loop in the thread. This will be the loop you hang from. Begin stringing the peppers by poking the needle and thread sideways through the green stem or cap of the pepper. Leave an inch or so between each pepper. You can make knots between each pepper to prevent the peppers from sliding on a vertical garland. If you hang them in horizontal garlands, tie a loop on the finished end as well. Hang the peppers in the kitchen or another dry and warm place. When they feel crispy they are done, usually 3 to 4 weeks. Remove from the string and store in a glass jar and keep them with your spices.

Chili head here, used to collect hot sauces also, I couldn't remember what they called the 'chili rings"
goggled it..."RISTRAS"

but the urban dictionary has a different meaning :
TOP DEFINITION
chili ring
The feces that remains around your asshole if you do not wipe well enough.
She had a nice ass, but also a nasty chili ring. She's gotta wash her butt.....
WTF ?

Ristras are the strings of chile you see hanging along fences, on patios and on portals all over New Mexico. In the Fall, you can buy ristras at farmer's markets and roadside stands. Ristras are sometimes used for decoration, and are said to bring good health and good luck. More often, they are hung up to dry for later cooking and eating
