Temperature Control
How do you guys control the temp in your humidors? My fiancee opened the windows all day yesterday because it was a beautiful 75 degree day and my temp spiked to where the top chamber of my cabinet was 79. I freaked out and told her horror stories of beetles until she closed the windows and turned on the air, lol. But seriously, I should be able to get some fresh air now and then, how do you guys deal with this?

If you're handy, they sell small A/C units that can be installed in a humidor
Well Ken, my barracks don't have AC at all. I clamped down and bought a cooler. It's been five days now and my temp has been stuck on 67 degrees. I put one ice pack in there for a day. And took it out. It has been steady since I took it out 4 days ago. Now the temp hasn't gone over 75 degrees here. But I'm thinking with this seal and it being on the floor in my wall locker. It should be okay. From what I've been reading, a lot of the guys start to take their cigars out of their desk tops. And store them in coolers for the hotter months. Just a suggestion, this is my first time around with mine.
The same thing happened to me this weekend. It got so nice out that we opened up the house and the temp in my humi's and cooler shot up to over 70 degress. What I did was I moved them down into my basement and within 24 hours the temp was back down to the low 60's. I figured that something like this was bound to happen since my upstairs gets very warm and until I turn on the AC I'll have to keep the sticks in the basement. Now, you might not have a basement or you can't put it in teh basement. I've heard putting it in a closet might work (dark and cooler). I'm guessing in your case a small cooling unit might have to be bought or made to keep your temp down if moving the cabinet won't work. Best of luck. Hopefully you'll be able to figure it out.
