You could alsp use the drain hole and silicone it. My thoughts on number two pretty much amount to "why in the world would you do that?" ![]() Get Chuck to make you a couple double depth drawers and use the wine racks that come with the unit for your wine. I don't know why you'd want to drink 68 or 70 degree wine, but if it's just for storage and you'll chill your wine somewhere else, that's cool. ![]() Hope this helps!!! ![]()

I won't hold honesty against anyone.
![]() I guess I just wanted to have the current humidor be usable versus sitting and collecting dust. I can deal with the Rubbermaid cooler. I will have to ponder the wine more as I typically keep the wines around 57°F right now for serving. Although most reds serve well at 65°F to 68°F so I might not notice.

A humi won't work if you put it in there at a low temp. The fridge will dry it out like a popcorn fart because you'll have to leave the drain open. The fridge will run at or under 40%RH and without an excellent airtight seal, no wooden humi will withstand that for long. Especially if it's not incredibly well made. They're not designed or intended to sit in a refrigerator. It's not what they're for, so that's reason enough not to do it. It's a long story as to why, but it's not a good idea. A rubbermaid container would work great, but it'd look ghetto. Mind ya, I'm coming at you from a $500 budget, which would make a damn good looking piece of equipment that you can look at with pride and smile. But that's the way I like my stuff. I don't know you well enough to know what would make you happy, so all I can do is tell you what I'd do. The reason I suggested you lean on Chuck is because he's got the same sort of perspective on "what looks nice" as I do. He's incredibly anal and wears a tinfoil hat, but he's a craftsman of the highest order and he'll do ya right. The long story short is that you can keep wine in a cigar fridge that's converted to a humidor, but you can't keep cigars in a wine fridge that's a wine fridge (unless you can make absolutely 100% sure that the humi you put in there will hold, and as I mentioned earlier, a wood one is highly unlikely to withstand the atmosphere, whereas a rubbermaid container would.)

![]() Tinfoil hat ![]() Tinfoil wont work now a days with all the high tech stuff coming at us, I upgraded to a custom made double plated, full face helmet made of rare indigenous metals only available online at www.theyareoutthere.net. I only have 12 easy payments of 499.99 left and it all paid for. Chas |

Scott .... you forget that I am an engineer, some of this stuff does make a lot of sense.
I'm just trying to get the bang-for-buck factor to work out. Happy would be something that won't crap out in a few years and I won't outgrow quickly (yeah, yeah, I know...). So, on to the idea of a cigar fridge, no wine. Now what if I were to plug the drain on the Frigidaire and turn the whole unit into conditioned space, would I be able to place a humidor inside as well? In theory the surroundings would be at the appropriate temperature and %RH that I wouldn't need beads inside the humidor. Or do I consider to just sell off or give away the 100-ct humidor? |

It happens because you provide bead and fan circulation. If you did that, you can stick all the humidors in there you want and you don't need beads inside them. ![]()
