Thanks, brother.

I love that door Peter!

It seems I stumbled and slid further down the slope today. The wife and I were out wandering through a few stores and I came across a used 8 bottle wine cooler for $14 (Haier HVUE08ABS, thermo electric). I turned it on and it blew cold air and was in good condition, so I figured WTH. The wife passed on it for wine, so I get to keep it! Either I'll seal up the drain in the bottom, toss in a pound of beads and use it as a humi or use it to keep the temps perfectly balanced for my desktop humi that I keep all my best smokes in. Either way here it is:

I removed the Haier logo from the front for aesthetic reasons. Anyone have any experiences with this model?

If it works and holds the correct temp and it's thermo-electric then 50 bUcks for any 28 bottle wine cooler is a deal!

Any techniques on how to get the plastic smell out from a newly acquired wine cooler?

I wiped down everything with some extremely diluted dishsoap, the put. A couple of bowls of baking soda in there and ran it for a few days. I then filled it with newspaper an left it off for a few days, and that seemed to take most of the smell out. Once I put some cedar in there, I couldn't notice the smell anymore.

NeuRon · 12-28-2011, 03:12 AM

Baking Soda

aaron72 · 12-28-2011, 01:58 PM

And then crumpled up newspaper

pektel · 12-28-2011, 02:15 PM

I just left the door off for 2 weeks.

PuffPuffGive1 · 12-28-2011, 05:58 PM

Thanks for the responses guys. I just got a small Haier 6 bottle and will post pictures when I get situated.

All perfect suggestion on removing plastic smell .... after you throw in the Cedar you will never smell anything but that again!

Can't wait to see the pics.

PuffPuffGive1 · 01-06-2012, 02:17 AM

Hey guys...is spanish cedar absolutely necessary for the drawers? Or can I use any wood that isn't too aromatic?

I believe that Spanish cedar is recommended for storage of your cigars. It retains a lot of humidity and is good when storing your smokes.

There are other reason but I will let another brother chime in on what they know.

I have seen some others build drawers for there wine cooler with some different kind of wood but only a couple.

If you are still doing the small 6 bottle unit have you looked at cheaphumidors.com spanish cedar trays? Thats what I have in my cooler and they are only $10 shipped.

Yeah I had already looked around but the wine cooler I have, I can only fit a tray that's about 7 inches wide with about 15 inches deep. My fiance got it for me after I told her of my intentions of getting one...but didn't have it in me to ask her to return it

http://www.cheaphumidors.com/p_TRAY.html

There are 7 1/2" x 12 1/2" ...... so you can turn them sideways and your depth of 15 inches is good .... but you only have EXACTLY 7" wide? .... I just measured mine to make sure their measurements were exact and they are.

Well .... if you need something and dont mind spending at best only a couple bucks more try hitting up Forrest (GolfNut) about making you some trays that will fit perfect in cooler .... or maybe a couple drawers if you want to spend a little more!

He will make Anything as long as you provide the dimensions

Here is his thread with all his work and drawers etc.:
http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showth...light=wineador

Also this is his website:
http://wineadors.com/

Here are the trays he makes:
http://wineadors.com/accessories.html

He can make you some trays that are 7x13 I'm sure for the price he charges for the 8x13 ... and they are still only $10 .... just like the cheaphumidor ones (I think shipping is a flat 15$).

Hope this helps point you in the right direction for getting your cooler set up with some new spanish cedar brother.

Let me know if you have any questions ... I am always here to help.

Just an FYI here, but shipping on an 8x13 tray is just $5

falconman515 · 01-22-2012, 09:27 PM

When I get my drawers I plan on taking my 7 trays and placing all of them with a couple ziplock bags full of my overstock and throwing it all in a Coleman cooler with my bags of KL and a hygro to just make sure they are stable for a couple of days while the new drawers are in the wine cooler getting seasoned with a couple of soaked DW sponges in each drawers with a bag under it .... Just like they say to season a regular humidor.

Then of course taking them out of the Coleman once the Rh is a bit high and stables and throwing them all in their new home.
