If you buy the brick and rehydrate it, you can also bake it in the oven for a while to draw out the moisture. I use one of those foil turkey pans and set the oven to about 220, leaving it cracked open a bit. Then I stir it occasionally to make sure the lower levels dry as well (or, you can take it out and scoop out the top layers as they dry). Just make sure to keep an eye on it. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> It'll also fill your home with a nice, earthy scent. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
