Yep...I was using a toaster oven to dry out some habaneros in order to grind them up for seasoning, by toasting them at low heat for a few minutes a couple times a day. After 2-3 days you couldn’t go in my kitchen without your eyes starting to water. After 4-5 days it was even worse, but by that time they were pretty much ready to be ground up :-)
I don’t know where you live but here in the southwest we just hang our chili’s up to dry. They generally take up to a week or so.
