Well how would you go about setting up a cooler to use as a humidor.

Buy a cooler that seals well (coleman, rubbermaid or the marine coolers)
wash out cooler with soap & water and allow to dry, if it smells like plastic, repeat or leave out in the sun w/ the lid off for a few days
place cigar boxes in cooler
add humidification element/device
close lid
drink beer

That particular humidor is made in China. I have one and it has not done well for me in the past :(

Where is the best/cheapest place to get trays for a cooler?

Just use empty boxes from your local B&M. Usually they are free or maybe a couple of bucks. :2

My brother is going to build me a humidor for my birthday, are there any tips I should impart on him? I told him the inside wood must be Spanish cedar and it HAS to be airtight. What other stuff can I pass along? This will be a birthday present for me (lol grats on me knowing) but I would like to help him where I can, as I know nothing really to tell him.

Best long term investment I made. Yes it was expensive when I bought it but I gifted it to myself with my Christmas bonus in 2015. It is now ten years old and going strong. All I do is enter the desired temperature and humidity settings, add the distilled water when the alarm goes off (every three to four months) and change the charcoal filter annually. It holds approximately 200 cigars (hence the name XS-200).

It is no longer sold in the USA but still available in Europe (Modeel Zkes 453).
