Friend was talking about drying/curing today. He claimed a cardboard disc for the lid made the process easy, no burping involved. Would it pull out too much moisture? Would they over dry? Anyone ever try this or hear about it? Much appreciated!

Sounds like it "might" work.
Are you willing to risk 5 ish months of work to find out?

No, but on a couple small jars, I can do a side by side. I have enough growing to do a small trial. If its a no go, then I can make hash. Lol.

Throw a couple pints or half pints aside and try it. I will do the same.

I'm not saying it won't work - it actually sounds like a pretty good idea.
1. Dry just short of where I normally do.
2. Check frequently

That would be my M.O.
