🤔

My downstairs kitchen has plenty of unused cabinet space. I was thinking about lining one of the wall cabinets with Spanish Cedar and turning it into a humidor. The only thing that concerns me is the door not sealing. I suppose I could make some sort of gasket out of weatherstripping? Any thoughts?

Now THAT sounds like an interesting project...

Why not just make cedar panels on the inside of the cabinet door face? If you cut them around shelving I imagine that would seal just fine...

If you have an unused closet down stairs, just cut to the chase... Convert it and be done with it!!!

Yeah, I was thinking of just lining the whole inside with cedar and make new shelves out of thicker cedar. The way my doors are though, they don't latch, there's a little rubber bumper on the door that leaves about an 1/8 inch gap between the door and the face. If I put some of that stick on weatherstrip on the door it might be more sealed but never as tight as a humidor lid. I don't know tight it needs to be. I guess as long as the humidity stays constant it wouldn't matter?

@elkhunter: I wish!

Lots of temp variations in the kitchen.....

Get a magnetic latch. Like on an entertainment center glass door that pushes closed and latchs. Don't use the foam, use a rubber smoke seal. Wipe everything with denatured alcohol before sticking. Oust fan inside cabinet. Then enjoy!

You have an upstairs kitchen????? That would suck for beer runs.

Luckily the downstairs kitchen is never used for cooking except maybe once a year for Thanksgiving overflow. It's mainly used for keeping beer in the fridge and where I prepare stuff for BBQ in my smoker. I'm not sure if I'm familiar with rubber smoke seal, what's it's primary use? and where would I find some?

Google is my friend, the half round rubber stuff that compresses when you close the door?

Yes. Teardrop shape. Self sticky. Woodcraft, rockler, home depot for the latch. Woodcraft has cedar as well, 1 inch thick. Various widths and lenghts
