Thread: Looking for Spanish Cedar

  1. #1

    Default Looking for Spanish Cedar

    I don't have a shop near me, closest is about an hour and ahalf away so I don't get out there often to ask for old boxes. Does anyone have or know where I can get some cedar pieces? I only need scraps or small size pieces to put in my coolerdor which is not very large. It is one of the smaller coolers and holds about 50 sticks very nicely but I would like to get some cedar in there.

    You need cedar boxes? I can get pretty much any size you need - let me know and I'll ask my shop to put them aside for me...

    Well, boxes or inserts. Just want to add some to my coolerdor. However, I may be upgrading to a full size cooler and some whole boxes would be nice too to use for single storage. If you could grab a few that would be sweet, then let me know what shipping is and I'll gladly take care of that. Thanks a bunch.

    Have one and the lid broke off and now it doesn't keep a good seal. I have an extra cooler laying around so I am using that for now. It works great and has a perfect seal. I have beads in it now so the humidity should stay level as long as I air it out every week. Just want the cedar for extra protection and I like the smell/flavor it imparts on my smokes.

    Go out and buy an Oust fan (it's in the air freshener section of the store). It comes with a D battery, and circulates the air. No need to ever open the cooler to "air it out". Keeps the humidity level up there, without having to constantly recharge the beads.

    GG - never heard of these. Sounds like a great way to stabilize the moisture, but how do they keep the moisture up? Is it just because the humi stays closed?

    They do work. They are the white plastic thingies at the top left and bottom right.

    Nice set-up Bruce. I remember you posting pics when you were in the process but this is the first I've seen of it with anything in it.
