with the smell? that would ruin them in a hurry and he'd still need to bring the humidity up closer to 70% just to be safe |

Do the goldenrod. Dessicant is always going to be a maintanance item.
If you must go that route, get more, cook it more often. It doesnt' last forever, and yours sounds saturated. |

Do you mean that you dont have a hole in your safe for the cord of a Goldenrod or that you dont have an outlet nearby? The plug end of the Goldenrod comes off so you only need about a quarter inch hole, just big enough to get the wire itself thru then put the plug back on and insert into an outlet. The best part about a Goldenrod over dessicant is there is no maintenance or changing.

Goldenrod will help a little but not much for that kind of humidity. I'd say do that and put a dehumidifier in the room also. That's what I do and I live in a humid area, though it is better in winter. During the summer I am dumping my dehumidifier at least daily to keep it about 37%.

It will air out in a week or two. You are smelling the paint, fire board, new carpet and adhesives.
Put a goldenrod in there stat. |

I have a few boxes of Papayos and Aristoffs that would benefit from the glue smell. I like to store long term around 70%, but drop it down to 60-65% in my "ready to smoke" humidor. |
