Default Re: RH Question

A half pound of beads is enough for a 48qt cooler. Get a pair of ankle high stockings at the supermarket for a couple of dollars, and put half the beads in each. I prefer the 65% Heartfelt beads as my cigars seem to smoke better at a bit lower Rh.

Many use KL with success, but the problem is that they are not set to a specific Rh. This will lead to spikes in Rh as Adam said. KL works well if you live in an area with high humidity and can be used in the summer to absorb the extra moisture.

If there is a shop near you, try and pick up a few empty boxes to put your singles inside. The extra wood will help keep the Rh more stable.
