DOES ANYONE CURRENTLY OWN & USE A "NewAir 28 Bottle Wine Cooler"
doesnt matter what season it is or wether i have the heater/ac on or off the temp. in my humidor is a constant battle that never ends, im totally at the end of the road on this matter !
the coolidors seem to be very popular but i think i would be in the same boat so im not trying to go down that road at all either
the wine cooler appears to be the best bet for my situation, the NewAir 28 Bottle Wine Cooler is the one i see mentioned the most but havent been able to find many reviews on how it works in general let alone how it works as a humidor, im a poor man with a rich mans hobby so this would be a big purchase for me, i would really really appreciate any insight or info on this
if someone would kindly help me out i may have a few follow up questions
thank you in advance Jack, PA

as for using these as wineadors, gonna take a bit but basicly block the drain hole use a bit of silicone or tape,
get your self a humidifier, say small electric i like these because they will adjust the humidity pretty fast , as a secondary humidity control some humidity beads or silica cat litter, when using both your electronic will not to often and you can turn on or off as needed, the silica beads will be doing the majority of the controlling and absorbing the condensation of waters, this will be from the cooler turning on and off cooling, get some pc fans arrange them in the best way to get air moved around the humidity in the cooler as well as moving the cool air,some cedar shelves if you have time to wait some places make then custom for your cooler but takes 8-12 weeks for them to get done, or do what i did buy some cedar planks cut down to fit as shelves slats and buy some cedar trays for humidors
whole thing sounds harder then it is, im sure others will post there ideas or what works for them, so use this as an idea for what your looking to do.
for the size i only cut the planks about 2" wide by the width of the cooler shelve slots, these are to hold the tray or cigar boxes so 2 slats per shelf sort to speak so circulation is not a issue, i left a bit of space between the back wall for circulation, same in the front,
no drilling used the slats as is. with small slats it made it easy to arrange and mount the fans since the slats can adjusted in or out with out worrying about circulation or having to cut over or trim constantly,
not pretty but functions just perfectly
