So I picked up one of these yesterday used for $100. Heating and cooling unit I guess. Had it plugged in all night in the basement and it reads 70 on the nose, but honestly I haven’t put any other thermometer in it, just what the unit reports out itself.

Anyway, trying to determine how many beads I should use in this thing. It’s considerably larger than my old vinotemp unit, which basically runs at whatever the room temp is because the thermoelectrics decided that they need to keep everything at 54 degrees all the time, so I leave it unplugged.

I have two of these I’ve been using in the vino. Surely I need to use more, but how much more?

Err on the side of a lot! Distribute them as evenly as you can throughout. Also consider adding a small fan or two. Would love to see pics!
 
Does it need to have a fan? I know it has an internal one already. Wouldn’t an additional fan need to cycle on and off on some sort of schedule to be effective?
