Thread: Stick rotation?

  1. #1

    Default Stick rotation?

    I read a while back when I got my humidor that you should rotate the sticks that are on bottom, to the top of the pile every once and a while. I try and do this about once a week and just want to know if anyone else does this or if it's really even necessary. I tried a search and nothing really came up. Thanks for the help guys.

    They turn them clockwise in the southern hemisphere, but I think they do so every 51.8 metric hours.

    Do you have to overcomensate for the humidity lost due to the motor heat, or is it (the motor) external? Also, I'd be concerned with residual bearing grease marrying with my Javas.

    I modified it a little to use magnetic levitation bearings and an external motor - works great!

    Unless they are sitting on the humidifier, you should be okay...although, the weiner spinner sounds like a great idea, I would be cautious if the magnets creating a field that would stop the hunidity from leeching into the cigars.

    That might be good though since too much hunidity makes your cigars want to rule the world and ride horses and shit.

    I've trained mine to rotate themselves for a scooby snack!
    This is a tough crowd.

    Outstanding!

    This is a perfect example of the "thick-skin" that any respectable adult should carry!


    Not to be confused with "thick-headed", which is a much less desirable trait!

    You're doing it all wrong.

    You need a pebble reactor to power the weiner rotator, and then a fire hydrant to provide the humidity.
