I have a wineador. The temp is set to 66F, and sometimes get a few degrees lower, average 63-66F.
I'll post a pic of my setup below.
I recently have redone the inside of my windeador. I added in all the blocks of spanish cedar, they weren't in there before. I added all that open space at the bottom for air circulation since I was having a problem with that before. After I had redone the inside, I had 2 Boveda packs, 69%, one on each side of the boxes, below the pile of cigars at the top. For a couple weeks everything seemed to be going fine. Now, I noticed that my humidity was going up to 80%, and my hygrometer shows a high of 83%. I've always ran in the 65%-69% on average. Occasionally, it would go to 71% or 72%, but never higher. I pulled one of the Boveda packs out yesterday morning. I looked right now, and it is still reading 79%. I can't figure out what to do. There is only 1 Boveda pack in there now.
The pic is from the first day I redid the inside. Not from today. For reference, my hygrometer reading is coming from the top of the pile of cigars. It's been located where the dish of distilled water is in the pic. Also, for reference, there is another block, same size, on the side. You can barely see it in the pic. Helps keep the cigars in place.
Don't mind the distilled water in there. That picture was from the first day after adding the wood. The humidity went way down, so I boosted it for a day, day in a half. Then took it out.
Any suggestions on what the problem is, or what I can do?
