Hey folks - quick question.

I have a wine cooler (one of those black mini-fridge things)... that we aren't going to use any more.

I know some folks turn these into humidors (wineadors?)

If I were to NOT plug it in how could I turn it into a suitable Humidor?
(even if plugging it in were a good idea I'm not sure I would trust it not to create a pool of water where it sat)

It would have loads of space, and obivously have a good seal.
Some beads or something in there could do a decent job.

I guess my concern would be - could the seal be TOO good?
I'm worried the RH would get TOO high (which is the opposit of my current problem)
.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

I have two converted wine fridges... Love them. Personally I do not plug mine in I do not need the cooling but if needed I could. When designing the modifications I took draining into account.

The seal is good but not air tight remember there is a drain hole in there somewhere.

I still like to open mine up once a month th for 30 minutes or so to let fresh air circulate.

I think there are a few threads around here somewhere about the conversion process.

Take a look in the Accessory Section.

Send me a PM if you have any questions.

Yep, same here. I lined mine with Spanish Cedar, and use beads for humidification. I've never had any issues.
Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.

Yup I find beads to work great in my wine fridges... But I hate them in anything else.

hmmm my collection has dwindled much too low to make this project practical... I don't have the stogies to put in it.
But the wine cooler... it's just... sitting there... Wink

Lord love a duck!

Well... looks like I'm building a long term storage wineador.

Which means I'll need shelves, more beads, and a BOAT load of cigars worthy of long term storage.

I'm gonna have to buy my wife something awesome...

Build it and the cigars will come. You'll find a reason to fill it.
