Thinking about going bigger.....
Have a few questions
1) At what point (cubic inches) do the expert's here think a fan is "required"?
2) It takes 4oz. of beads to manage 2000 cu.in. humi.....(from Heartfelt web site)
If that 2000 cu. in. humi is always FULL, as in, you could maybe squeeze in 3 more sticks, it seems to me, that one would need less than 4oz of beads to manage the humi, since there is MUCH less actual air space. (I know more beads are better, brings humi back to range quicker, etc. etc.)
But for an "aging" humi that only gets burped/opened occasionally , if it's really full, could you use less beads?
thanks

So, what's the haps with the bucketdor project? Still viable?
As for your bead question, I think I might be tempted to try less and just let my hygro decide if I need more beads.
The bucket humi has been rock solid.....holds 5 boxes, one tray and space for loose sticks....currently pretty much maxed out at 151 cigars. If I went to a "loose" stick only system, I'm quite sure it would hold well over 200 cigars.
I have one aging humi that is stuffed, using a 4oz bead tube.....think I might see if a 2oz will maintain the RH......I don't go in there that often.
