I'm upgrading an Aristocrat end table humidor, and have been thinking about where to place the fans for improved air circulation.

The fans that I am adding are remote fans that run on a timer, they are not connected to the humidifier fan and purely provide additional air circulation.

Here's the inside of the humidor as it stands now...note the additional fans at the top and bottom of the back wall...these fans ARE tied to the humidifier and run when the humidification units runs.

I've been experiencing a disparity between RH at the top and bottom of the humidor (the bottom is typically 8 points higher), so adding additional fans to move air is my plan.

My question--where should the fans be placed? I've considered placing them so that they blow vertically, rather than on a wall facing the center of the humidor.

Thoughts? Thanks.
