And to gently nudge this thread back into the topic area, I'm kind of amazed how quickly the bamboo dries. The first three culms I collected three weeks ago and toasted have lost a significant amount of weight. I toasted a few more last night and the difference was striking.

I also discovered that culms segments can explode if one does not properly vent them before torching. Live and learn, eh? :o
