prolly take 3 heads of lettuce a week...

I was thinking 6 heads of romaine should cover it.

I'm at 54 feet....

I use 5 pounds 65% beads and a large container of floral beads for mass humidity. I get packets of the beads at Michaels and change them twice a year. The packet holds maybe 3 tablespoons, and will soak up the better portion on a gallon of distilled water. The heartfelt regulate the %rh and add as needed.

I have a RV refrigerator fan to move the air.

Keep it full.

I'll have to use some empty boxes to take up space for the immediate future, as I've "only" got about 650 right now.

Gummy - The Bibb is better than romaine? What if I throw in some riddichio to spice it up?

I'll report back. I may leave a tray of peppers out as well.

Yessir! [missing salute emoji here]

Good to know, thanks!

Use the large round gel beads. Allows better air flow. I use distilled to recharge with a drop or two or hydrogen peroxide to oxidize anything living. I was told never use pg so I havent with fan units. If it's just an open container with no fan use the cracked gel beads(I have plenty of those if you'd like some). Also once a year I rehydrate the gels and completely rinse them off. They naturally break down into a nitrogen based compound over a long period of time. Also remember humidity rises and air flow is important with box/tray position if you have any auxiliary fans. Then again I just save the dryer spot for the cc and dry box sticks.

Well, I pulled the trigger today. Price was ridiculously low, but I needs a little work. I'll work on it the next couple of weekends then start seasoning it. Thanks to to all, and especially Jamie for advice already given and for entertaining my calls when I have questions.

If picture posts are working by then, I'll post some up.

This thing damn near took up a room. Is it a Wurlitzer jukebox?

Go ahead and spring for a nice Cigar Oasis, other something similar, humidification system and save yourself a lot of time and headache. Set and forget and add water when needed. Get multiple small CPU fans to move the air around.

Nothing wrong with the 60's, sure beats beetles.

Rockola 1965 compact version.....sounds like I would have to get rid of something else too.

Here's a pic of it set up (finally). Once I can get my phone to cooperate with the picture posts, I'll add one here as well.

I moved the bananas into my now-obsolete frigidor. Thanks, Tony!

that is beautiful!

Very nice, Bama herf your place.

Thanks, y'all. I absolutely lucked jnto it.

Hey smoke don't buy a oasis. You will not be happy. I have 32 sq ft. Bought a Avallo Accumonitor. Could not be happier.
Good Luck

Damn Mr Monkey-that is a fine sight for sore eyes. Congrats on the new humidor.

I use a household humidifier in my tower, it holds about a gallon of water. I tweaked the humidistat since it's not set up to go so high. It maxed at 50 I think so I got inside and tweaked it to go higher. The humidifier and stat sit in the base of the cabinet and I have a small computer fan in there to keep constant circulation from the base up so that there won't be issues with the humidity being higher near the humidifier and the rest of the cabinet being dry. The cabinet was partially DIY, it was a display cabinet that I modified by making adjustable Spanish cedar shelves and adding some sealing to the doors.

No worries about threadjacking. I happened onto Craigslist and there it was. Guy was moving into a smaller house, wasn't smoking enough to use it anymore and wanted it gone. Initially listed at $600, then a couple of days before he moved, dropped it to $300. Too good a deal to pass up.

Not sure of the brand, but similar sizes/quality seem to go around $1,300 - $2,000 and up. I think I'd advise a strategy of looking either for a business or individual selling rather than buying new. Unless cost isn't a variable for you. In which case, well done!

Thanks!
