    I had some condensation in mine running beads at 70%rh.  I switched to bovedas and dropped to 65% and haven't had any problems with it since.

    Chris, I have had a little condensation on the bottom of mine, no drain, I threw a couple slats of wood down there so a box wouldn't soak it up
    A little dirt never hurt

    Condensation will happen. Randy what kind of wood did you put down? Wet wood will mold. Just wipe it out every couple days.

    I've got a small cooling rack that keeps my box of the bottom in case of condensation and a towel for wiping it up. My humidity has been right on 65% with beads and a few Bovedas, but it crashed earlier when I put the fan in. Too much fan maybe and the bad seal with the cord coming out the front.

    I had some serious condensation puddles build up in mine and caused some mold that I had to clean out and get rid of luckily with no harm to sticks or anything. I took apart my wineador and cleaned all the fans and connections, heat sinks etc which were really built up with fuzz and dust and now it runs like a top and no more condensation. Might think about cleaning the fans and heat sinks on y'alls to help with it as it made a big difference for me.

    following @Yakster lead and have been watching Craigslist, been reluctant to add a cooler as that just seems ridiculous but if this were to replace the one I have it wouldn't really be adding one, right?

    I know this is total overkill,  I would never use the lower half, wouldl probably permanently seal that off, dont need it since I have been using @peter4jc restraint techniques. would be nice to be able to look at, select a seegar and rotate the stock once a month while standing up instead of leaning over in my advanced age

    Hard to tell who's more full of crap, you or me...

    But if you did only use the top half, think of how impressed Mrs. Dirtdude would be.  "Why, he has all that room, and doesn't even try to fill it up."

    yea, I was actually thinking a false permanantly sealed unit just to fool Mrs. Dirt, just to set the record straight I am sure you are much fuller

    Makes me want to look for a bigger wine cooler.

    I still haven't put together the wireless humidity gauge yet, but I did get a couple of boxes of cigars in so I took the empty Ramon Buesos Olancho 2005 Recerve placeholder box from the bottom of my winedor and put the box of Murcielagos and Dark Rituals in it's place.  I have them sitting on a small cookie cooling rack to keep them off the floor just in case of condensation build up and to promote airflow.

    Hey, is that an empty drawer behind the hygrometer?
    Nice setup Chris

    It just looks empty because of the angle and because it's not stacked as high as the other trays.  Thanks, Randy, it's been working out well for me.

    Chris, from my experience the bottom has the lowest humidity sometimes 10 % lower than the rest. Keep that in mind for your boxes. I place bovedas inside my boxes.

    Thanks, Nick, I'll keep an eye on it.  My Winedor seems to increase in humidity towards the bottom so I load most of the beads at the top, but there's beads and bags all over in there.

    A guy on the vherf that told me he was banned from the forum and tried to accuse me of trolling and dry begging So I really want everyone to know that I am not doing any of that and I will never do that. Hope you all believe me. I do plan on doing the newbe trading but I have to get some stock in.It's looking like the first of the year before I am able to do that

    Don't worry, Archie, I threadjack all the time. FIFY stands for Fix It For You, Randy was trying throw me under the bus with a vicious rumor that I'm low, I corrected that but I'd watch out for oncoming headlights...  :)
