Converting a wine-cooler into a humidor...

There really isnt much to convert. You can order some cedar shelving from some of the members here, or a drawer for your singles (they are made to fit Vinotemps)

Other than that just stick your boxes in, grab some beads (I always recommend Shilala- see CigarNut for those) and youre good to go.

thanks Md4958,

I'm new here and haven't made it through many of these pages... And, admittedly am full of questions...

what members sell shelving?

vinotemps? is this a brand of winecooler?

How much do the beads run?

and this may be really dumb, but when you use/convert one... do you run the cooler to keep the cigars humidified or at the right temp? or do you just want the wine cooler for its construction and seal?

the reason I ask is I already have a mini fridge of standard construction with a condenser... Do you know of anything I could do to modify this?

Thanks for your help everyone / Md4958,

Rob
