Cabinet humidor at 78*?

Just curious what everyone thinks about letting my cabinet humidor reach 78* or so in the summer? Or a good solution to cool it. The house stays at 78* and and don’t want to lower it(for obvious reasons).

Look into thermoelectric cooling. They make units that are designed to cool cabinets that house electronics equipment. Maybe that would be something you could install yourself. 

And I found these videos.

Not sure on this. I have a winedor for about half my stock but the rest is in a bin (Wife won't go for coolers in the house). I have no central air.

It's probably not ideal but others don't worry about it. Go for lower humidity at higher temps and you should be fine or go for a winedor but make sure you don't get condensation in the winedor because of the difference in temp and humidity of your house and the winedor.

Funny that I've had more problems (rare) with mold in my winedor than in my humidor or bin. Plugging the drain wasn't a good idea for me.

This seems to be a re-statement of your question in the thread you started regarding your cabinet humidor being too humid when it reaches a temperature of 78*. 

At least, that's what I think.

Almost, I was concerned about humidity in that one but now wondering about temp. too! I can decrease the humidity more easily than reducing the temp. Wondering about something like 67% and 78*.

Toss that cabinet and invest in a wineador.

Thanks Yakster, It’s a very nice humidor(a Pendergast), so I definitely want to figure it out as opposed to getting a wineador.

Thanks Bob, thermoelectric May be the way to go. I’ll look into it more.
