Advice: Go back and read 'Spaw's post near the top. Chili is dangerous! I tried to dry a pot of damp chili powder (Chili powder is hygroscopic, it absorbs dampness)in the microwave, and set it on fire.

You CANNOT breathe chili smoke , nor any part thereof. Your lungs stop working. If you have mobility problems, you will likely die if you set it on fire on an ordinary stove.
It is easy to laugh now, but I'm glad it was a microwave, because of the timer.
