Aristocrat Cabinet Humidor, will be going....

If you constantly take air from outside the humidor and exhaust it, you are greatly increasing the difficulty of maintaining control of T and H. Everytime somebody opens the door to the room, your entering T,H will change and you will need very quick control action. Think it would be better to recycle the air, maybe just bleeding a little new air in.

That's what I was thinking above talking about doing the cab. fans.. The intake would be at the bottom of the humidor, and exhaust out the top... Would pretty much be channeled from bottom to top.... Is this your line of thought as well.. I can sketch a drawing if needed.. Not that im a good artist, but I could try, lol

The typical T or H controllers are either on or off. They won't do a good job with a continuous flow. Before you commit this to an expensive humidor, why not build a mockup with some old plywood and see how your control scheme works?
