Kindof like an HVAC system in the house keeping the temp between 65-70. AC kicks on if temp goes over 70, Heater kicks on if under 65.

That would work fine. I know many people who have been doing that quite successfully for years. Not sure if you would need it though, unless the active humidifier goes ape, I'm having a hard time imagining that at 4500ft elevation in a desert that you would have too many over-humid days (maybe a few in the winter months).

Just don't put the beads directly in the air output stream of the active humidifier or they'll end up saturated rather quickly, because the air stream itself from the active humidifier is at a very high humidity.

Big problem you're going to probably have with the freezerdor is that it seals too well, so be careful with the active humidifiers - now, being in a desert at 4500ft, you might be ok due to the extreme dryness of the air.

PM lou2row (he doesn't check in here that often) see if he has any advice, he converted a 20-something CF refrigerator to a humidor a few years ago, and AFAIK, it's been fine.
