iGrizz Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Looking to convert a Wine Cooler into a humidor. I am looking for something in the 16-20 bottle range and under $150. I found one I am very interested in and would like some opinions on. http://mobile.walmart.com/m/phoenix#browse/Wine%2C%20Beer%20%26%20Beverage%20Chillers/aHR0cDovL3d3dy53YWxtYXJ0LmNvbS9icm93c2UvQXBwbGlhbmNlcy9XaW5lLUJlZXItQmV2ZXJhZ2UtQ2hpbGxlcnMvXy9OLTkxNGNaYXE5MFphcWNlL05lLTJwNGk%2FaWM9NDhfMCZyZWY9MTI1ODc0LjQyMTM1NiZ0YWJfdmFsdWU9QWxsJmNhdE5hdklkPTkwNTQ4JnBvdmlkPWNhdDkwNTQ4LWVudjE5ODUyOS1tb2R1bGVBMDYyOTExLWxMaW5rTEhOOVdpbmVCZWVyX0JldmVyYWdlQ2hpbGxlcnM%3A If anyone has suggestions on other Wine Coolers in this price/size I would love to here them.

Jason55555 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Danby 12-Bottle Thermoelectric Wine Cooler looks like the best one there at Walmart, it's 99.00 it's wide too which I find better to fix my boxes, the longer wine cooler sometimes need internal fans to circulate the air since its taller IMO.

CaptainQuintero Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Are you going to have it turned on, or just going to use it as an airtight container? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGrizz Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 I will have it on. My house during the summer stays around 75-80 degrees and I have trouble keeping my sticks under 70. Also I am running out of room so this is a cheaper option than buying a bigger humidor. How many boxes do you reckon I can fit in that Danby 12 bottle Wine Cooler?

Jason55555 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 My wine cooler is almost around the same demotions as that Danby 12 and I can find around 3 box's of 25 normal(monte 2's shape) size 1 25 box (siglo series square box) and 2 box's of 10 counts and that as at the max. But..........if you have money to get something bigger do it your going to run out of room fast with a 12 count wine cooler, but if you think around 6-7 box's are enough then I guess you should be fine (6-7 box's isn't big enought - build my wine cooler humidor 2 months ago and its already packed).

iGrizz Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Thanks for the input. I think I will go take a look at a few this weekend and size them up. I could probably get 10 boxes into that Danby. If not I will look for something bigger because the last thing I or anyone wants is to run out of room.

brazoseagle Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (If you are going after pure asthetics disregard this). Save some money wasted on it being a "wine cooler". And insure you have plenty of room and efficiently. Get a cheap full size single door fridge or freezer $200 @ Costco or Walmart, spend $50 on a Johnson Commercial Control, $100 for a refer tech to install the control, and spend the same amount you would on beads, humidification wood shelves ect. You won't run out of room , it will last forever and it will be efficient and very cost effective to operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
