gey what's up everyone. So the safe is delivered and placed in the garage. I'm extremely happy. I placed my hygrometer in the safe and left it 24hrs to see how the safe does in the garage. Well here are my readings

Temperatures
84 low and 95 high

Humidity
38 low and 63 high

So do you guys recommend a goldenrod or evadry? Or both? Thanks again

At least one Goldenrod.

38% to 63% is a HUGE swing in humidity.  Did you pull the hygrometer out of your 38% humid house and immediately put the battery in to the hygrometer in the garage so it read the initial humidity as 38%?  (Or was it really 38 % humidity at the start of the test?)

The hygrometer was in the garage the whole time. The hygrometer sat in the safe for 24hrs. I'll check tomorrow and see what the readings are after a few days

Pretty big morning to afternoon swings in Florida (chart)
The "annual" which I  assume is average, in Jacksonville is a difference of 33% morning to afternoon.

And to answer OP: YES I would put both in (dessicant and Goldenrod).  I notice a 10% average drop in humidity inside safe c/w outside.  I do NOT notice a temperature difference, which makes me wonder if the Goldenrod really does anything.....

      In my safe the Goldenrod raises the temperature 4 degrees compared to the exact same safe sitting next to it that doesn't have a Goldenrod installed yet.  Hey, I will get around to it....
