I've stoved some by simmering the mason jar in a crock pot for several hours, but it wasn't whole leaf. (See my "Stoneiversity" post).
I definitely like stoved virginia much better.
Hi Bryan,

I stoved mine about 12 hours (overnight and then some). Came out darker with a curious consistency - slightly gummy/sticky. Even after letting it sit out overnight to dry, it still retained it's resiliency and didn't shatter when handled. It smokes much better than what I started with. Mine wasn't whole leaf when I stoved it - I had destemmed it and shredded it.
