Modifying a cedar chest to use as a humidor?

The cedar is what helps keep your RH from dropping and spiking everytime you open the lid.

I say sell the chest, and use the proceeds to pick up a Vinotemp or Cooler, and go from there.

Don't have the chest, but was shopping for one for a different purpose and though "hmmmmm, what if I......?"

Sticks are in coolers right now.... works well enough I guess, just thought a cheap chest would be even cooler
