UPDATE 07/27 SUCCESS!
I am going to call this a success

The humidity inside the Humidor reached a steady state at about 68% or so and the Temperature is well maintained
I am going to add a few sticks and begin impatiently waiting for them to reach my RH goal 


UPDATE 07/22

I think I have figured it out

I modified another set of shelves so that a few smaller box humidors fit inside
Now I should be able to control the humidity inside each box while the Cooler keeps the temp stable

Currently I only have 65% Heartfelt beads
If these don't do the trick I'll upgrade to the 70%




I'll monitor the humidity a few days before placing cigars in them

My plan now is to use the lower humidity open space for long term storage and move the few I want to smoke for the next few weeks into the higher humidity controlled boxes

p.s The open area has been great for developing a Bloom

Anyone have a large refrigerated humidor? 

I need to bring the humidity of my Wine Cabinet/Humidor up a bit. It is approximately 45 CuFt
It is well sealed/insulated and maintains Temperature and RH well
65 (F) is the max temp it will do

Here is a chart of a few days. This is typical behavior year round
It is just a bit dry for my taste


I don't want to bring it up too much
My worry is, with active refrigeration the cooling unit may fight with the humidifier to remove humidity as I put it in
Right now I get no condensation from the unit (which is a good thing)

Anyone have insight into this?
I have tried humidity beads (2lbs). They were not effective
I have also considered building a box inside the box, but would rather not unless necessary

The Interior is wood panel
The cooling unit is a Breezaire WKCE
Here are a couple pics

I "modified" a few of the wine shelves to hold the Spanish cedar trays


This is a pic from where it was stored in a warehouse before I bought it:

Bunch of large Boveda packs?  They regulate humidity both ways

I figured the same with having cups of beads all over the place

Maybe I need more. I do have Boveda packs in all the trays
