I use one - when turned off, it's exactly the same as a cooler. I have 3 pounds of Shilala's beads in there and it's rock solid on humidity. I didn't "season" at all since I only have boxes in there - they'll keep their own humidity just fine with the beads in there.

I would make sure you clean it really well before using it as a humi, and then make sure that any cleaning chemicals are thoroughly rinsed off/out before putting sticks in it. I think an Oasis or other active humidification device is really unnecessary since it's a sealed environment - there won't be any humidity entering or exiting until you open the door. Cabinet humidors have a lot more give and take so the active humidification is necessary. A few beads should do the job more than adequately.
