How did you season it?

How long did it take w/a set of drawers?

I am debating on whether or not to use active humidification. the wine cooler will be under 6 cu ft I was looking at the HydraSM for like $90.00 and it will humidify up to 8 cu ft or the Cigar OasisXL for like $99.00. Are there any drawbacks to using active humidification? Any personal opinions on either would be greatly appreciated.

I would also be using beads, because i have them. about 1.5 lbs. I was going to separate them and put 1/2 pound in each drawer..any opinions on that?

Has anyone here used beads INSIDE their active humidifier? is that solely for mold reasons?

Basically, I am wanting to know what you did that worked and what you did that DIDN'T work, if you don't mind.

Thanks again,

Use beads and a small computer fan for circulation .

Spritz the beads with distilled water or use a dish of water when you need it.

The more beads you use the less you have to tend to it. The more beads the better. Put 5 or 6 pounds in there and you will be amazed how stable it is.

That's what i use. Works like a charm..

Thanks! only one question.....

Now, where can i get 5-6 pounds of beads on the cheap????????

5 or 6 lbs of beads to cover for 6 cu ft of space? That's like 4 to 5x more than needed.

1 lb covers 5 cu. ft, so 2 lbs is still overkill.
