Curing, with wood?

Ok, i know curing within certain things such as plastic is known to put a plastic taste upon the Weed and that Glass has been a recommended thing to me. But i was wondering, would curing pot within certain types or wood put a pleasant smell or taste upon the weed? If so what kind ?

i know a guy that swears by drying and curing in wooden boxes. think thats just what he was taught to do tho

Hmm, well i was jus curious because i was thinking on building a stash dryer and curer. But i was curious if i used certain woods in making the shelves. I know some woods smell good on thier own and that curing with a slice of orange peel can give your weed a certain citrus smell but i was wondering about the wood lol.

I would think that a wooden box would stay too humid. Thats why Saunas are made of that great smelling cedar. All the humidity stays in the room.

But what if it was properly sealed and maintained? I know the possibility of hudmidity but there are ways to combat it. and if not with curing what about possibly drying? i dry mine usually in screened shelves but ive never thought of what the shelves were made of to dry it...

curious thread HG. Um yea depending on the type of wood id use a box if i did this like an oak box but it will really not make a difference unless you do it for a while its the same properties as like cigars they put them in oak boxes and oak etc.. that gives them a taste of just smooth oakyness
so if you do this let the buds rest in certain wooded boxes for like 3 weeks turn them every 2 days youll probably get a nice smooth burning bud!

Awesome thats what im hoping. If i cannot get them to taste like it possibly even a good ceder smell when i roll them up. this may not be anything more then presentation but i think its worth an attempt. Ill try this on my next harvest and post the results.

Im not trying to doubt it wouldnt work, but Im just putting out some ideas.

Cigar boxes are Humidors.. SO again about the humidity.
Cigar boxes are so that a cigar wont completely dry out.

So with that maybe a wood box would be Ok with curing buds. Not so good drying.

Again: with a sealed wooden box. Where does the humidity go?

People dont throw wet cigars in a cigar box cause it would mold.

Yes i know what you mean, it was simply a thought, and if so how to go about doing it.

What if while i was curing them i gave them a small period to air out or possibly alternate between curing and setting them to dry. Not too long but enough to where i might get a bit of the scent withought having to worry about the mold problem.

Thats the thing.

No matter what your thinking the whole drying curing process is exactly what it is.

You must first dry
then cure.

People have all kinds of curing methods.
The drying part is the same around the world.
They must hang and dry at least a week to get all the moisture out.

People have hang dryers
DIY dryers
Screen drying
etc..etc..

the method and process is the same.
No one sticks wet weed in no kind of container.
Be that Jars, tubs, bags, Or wooden boxes.
You are only asking for mold problems.

I think you are on a good thing though. I like the idea of curing in a wooden box.

I just think most people use jars because it is air tight.
The reason you have to burp them is to let the built up moisture out.

The only problem with curing in a wooden box is can it be air tight?

If its not then you'll end up with harsh tasting pot.
Good luck though

Why thanks man i know what you mean and ill look for possibly some laquered or heavily sealed wooden box or case. or maybe if i cant do that maybe sticking some ceder or other kind of wooden chips within the jar as it cures? idk its just something ill have to research and possibly even test it out myself.

ya thats wat i mean dry them then cure them in the boxes
