70 quart??? You piker!!!!! You'll be sorry. Should have sprung for the 150. Go out and buy a couple of those square cake cooling rack thingys and lay them on the bottom. Helps keep the humidity the same throughout.

Good idea on the cooking racks. That should buy me space for another 5 boxes 🙂

I'll bring you one in that's calibrated pretty close on both temp and humidity and you can use it as a control/check.

I am doing the salt check, and it's at 72% after 5 hours. Mt thoughts were to install as is, and just always add 3% to what it reads. Don't see the point of opening it up and fiddling with it.

let it sit over night. Salt test should go longer than 3 hours.

telecom - Are you going to post pics? I want to see what my competition is up to... 🙂

rck_1 - I'm flattered, you should post pics of yours as well!!

I ended up not making an upright, just a 70 quart plain-jane, nothing to look at, but functional.

Oh, and I am heading out later to start building another one 🙂
