New winecooler....let this begin

[Jimmy_jack]

Just got a new 34 bottle wine cooler for a ridiculous cheap price. I live in the south east of the US and my home never goes below 75F. Considering what I'm buying now and the fact that I want the most out of my cigars, I figure this is the best route.

I've read a lot on what people have dealt with here as far as RH in winador setups. I'm just shooting for 60-65rh at 65f. I'll go from there.

I must say thank you to all of the members that have added their insight on these setups. I'll post pics as the setups buids and the collection grows.

Take care

What are your plans for humidity control?

What are your plans for humidity control? 

Right now I have two pounds of 70% beads I've been using in a sealed plastic box. However after a lively conversation here I've learned that the humidity in those beads is truly dictated by the environment and the amount of water if you have in them.

I'm shooting for 60-65rh at 65f. I'll start with my seasoned cedar trays and the beads. I'll add some 65% Boveda packs and see where that gets me.

Update. I'm floating 62-65F and 60-67rh which I'm okay with. I got a little fan but it dosnt produce a lot of circulation...maybe that's okay though. It's just a little breeze.

Ordered three of these for the 120 qt Coleman project I started last week. Good luck to both of us

For my wineador I am temporarily using cedar trays like the ones you can get on amazon while I wait for my custom shelves/drawers to be built. I would suggest checking out wineadors.com - a guy named Forrest makes some incredible shelves and drawers for wine cooler conversions. He came highly recommended to me. I am still waiting on them, probably ordered 3 weeks ago. I am also using and oasis humidification device.

Yep, I've checked them out. I will probably get an nice setup from him eventually. Trying to spend on stock right now

These are x4/5 the price in the UK - listed at £44 - £50. Ridiculous! Thankfully, the conditions here don't warrant a cooler conversion (even though I'd love to give it a go).

That's insane!

We do our best to warn everyone and suggest counseling and therapy. In the meantime, get another Humidor.

Seems like there is still room for some box Tetris. Order up!

Might as well order another cooler now!

How's that fan holding up? I bought the same one and it eats through batteries every 30 days.
