Two nights (with the computer left on - like I said, I never turn my computer off anyway) seems to be perfect. I came in this morning, and the jalapeno pieces were dried perfectly. Popping a couple little chunks in my mouth provided a nice tingle - they even seem a little hotter than they did when I was chopping them up (perhaps as a result of 36 hours of constant exposure to electromagnetic radiation emission!). Rather small scale - but they won't get burned or too crispy, so I'd say go for it. Of course, more testing is in order :) Daryl
