Coolidor

**dHUTCH** · 09-02-2006, 11:28 PM

K few questions...I have 1/2 lb of 70% beadsfor my square 60 qt cooler. some spanish cedar strips to line the bottom and of course my stogies. If i let the beads and cedar sit in the cooler for 2-3 days will the rh be where I want it to be? And, will 1/2lb of beads be sufficeint for my 100 stogies I'm getting in on the 9th?

I'm not sure if you have enough beads, but I think it tells you how much you should have on Viper's website. You know you have to activate the beads right?

You have plenty of beads. I have a 1/2 pound in a 100 quart and a 1/2 pound in a 120 quart cooler and they work fine. The beads will have the coolerdor ready in less than a day.

Yes. The preferred method is with a spray bottle. If you just dump water on the beads they will crack. Although this does not make them any less effective, it is just a pain to deal with them when they are cracked in half as opposed to whole.

I was already planning on using a spray bottle. I picked up one of those 99cent hair stylist spray bottles at walmart.

I'd also spray the wood down first, so the wood can absorb some water as well.

They'll be fine for a day or two. The macs are like triple wrapped!

**dHUTCH** · 09-06-2006, 10:25 AM

The coolidor is up to 83%

I think it's time to dry a few beads out and add some spanish cedar!

LMAO, my uncle is a truck driver and I about fell out of my chair laughing when I saw that.

welp i lined the bottom with the cedar and built me a little stand for the boxes to sit on instead of on the bead containers

After i added the wood the RH dropped from high 70's and is steady at 70Rh :) So when the stogies get here on a Monday we'll be good to go! OH and there's a pic of the stand I made below!
