I have the same humidor. Also use about 4 lbs of beads. In the winter when the house is dry, I use a Moist-N-Aire to maintain the humidity constant. The beads alone will not do the trick.

I do not think it is possible to maintain humidity in a cabinet with a reasonable amount of beads unless you have a high end cabinet, and even those use active humidification.

It may not even be possible to maintain humidity in a wooden cabinet without somehow incorporating a vapor barrier and rubber seal on the door.

Recommend getting an active humidifier to use in the winter months.
