2 1/2 piunds of humidy beads. Think I got A little carried away... DSC00808 by thrynokrates, on Flickr

My thoughts were that I would track quantity, price, age, and then make comments on each one I smoked and provide some sort of ranking.  Maybe it is wishful thinking and I would be too lazy to track but the thought of knowing what is in the humi sounds intriguing.  Then again, I do like...

Changed my mind about the cedar - Added two more. DSC00802 by thrynokrates, on Flickr         What I used to plug the drain hole. Doesn't seem to have any odor. DSC00803 by thrynokrates, on Flickr

This is probably the only cedar I'll be putting in here DSC00800 by thrynokrates, on Flickr   After I tried i found out that the shelves from my foot locker don't fit after all. They're about 1/4 inch too wide. The protrusion that holds the shelves doesn't go all the way to the edge of the...

Only problems so far - When the JC stat turns off the cooler it comes back on set to Celsius and it doesn't reset to its lowest temperature. It resets to something like 60ºF

Still trying to decide if it would would help to have fans in there.

i think i still have some gorilla tape around here somewhere...

    I should have known that was too good to be true. Might end up drilling a third hole for the temperature probe then.
