Default Re: BOXIDOR less expensive alternative to COOLERid

You have what looks like over $2k in cigars right there in a $12 box that you spend time and effort in trying to make work. Sell one box of cigars in there and you can afford a 120qt cooler for the rest.

Not to beat on the subject, but the thinner walls of the plastic tub will not keep temp/humidity jumps tamed. A cooler is designed to minimize fluxes in the environment around it. Just something to think about.
These are all very valid thoughts.
The facts are that I spend NO more time on maintaining this box than I do any of my other boxes, big or small.
It was a wee bit of work to put the gasket on..then a day or two to see that the gasket on the one side was not sufficient. Thus the gasketed top.

I have two visual means of reading the Humidity. One visual station is in the basement local to the boxes. This pic is showing the base station temp and humidity in the basement space.


and the other station is located upstairs in a desk area. This is showing temp/humid inside one of the three boxes that I have transmitters. There's also a high and low between times I reset at the station.


Each station receives the same three transmitted humd/temp readings from a storage box.
