Thanks... that was the ones I found. Not a bad price. Now I gotta see how much the beads are. Now that you have been using this for a while what would you say is the proper amount of beads.Here is the link for them. I have nine in mine when I first got it I filled it up. But the air was not circulating properly. But with nine it works fine.
I have been reading about other peoples wine coolers. I have now purchased two Haier wine coolers. They are perfect for humidors since they are tall and narrow. The fit cedar trays that you can order off the internet. They cost about $10 apiece. The coolers run $175 at Lowes. I bought one a year ago and my wife agreed to the new one last month. They hold about 400 cigars and now working on filling both up.
They hold more than what they say. They say 30 a tray but I had close to 400 in my humidor that is why I went with another one. They did seem to fall out of the trays.
I'm very interested in seeing this. I am looking at a Vinotemp 28 on Craigslist that I am trying to buy for $125 but not sure if I will be able to get it. If I can't I may end up with one of these Haiers.You know I put the wooden dowels in the trays like Mike said. It works perfectly $10 for a tray and .69 for a dowel that will make enough for 2 1/2 trays. Lot cheaper than $23 dollars. Just my opinion of course and it looks good. I will post pictures with the dowels tonight when done.
My wife would think so too but she knows how much I paid for my Diamond Crown humi. If I would have know about using a wine cooler for a humi I probably wouldn't have gotten the Diamond Crown.Not a problem that is what this site is about. This was a low budget project since I am a college student. My wife does not think so though.
There is no humidity generated at all by a wine cooler. A cork will become dry if the bottle sits upright. Laying the bottle on it's side will provide more than enough moisture to prevent the cork form drying out.Greetings all.....I'm a newbie here. I'm a little confused about the humidity. I thought that these wine coolers generated their own humidty (because corks in the wine bootles need the humidty also) why the beads? Do the wine coolers not generate enough humidity on their own?
Thanks!
