    Default cooling et al

    FANS do not cool. they only move air
    you feel cool when a fans blows on you, because of one of two things.

    1) you are warmer than the ambient air, so you lose heat to the air
    2) you are wet and the water is evaporating in the air stream, you feel cooler
    because you lose energy to let the water evaporate..

    that is what sweating is designed to do

    will it cool your humidor? NO

    it is not warmer than ambient, and you don't want it to lose water from evaporation.

    fan in a humidor, that is tightly closed, helps keep the top /bottom/front/ back temp and humidity even.

    Never aim a fan at a humidor!!.

    HEY JIM!!!

    Glad you found us!!!

    Jim (maltman) is 100% correct, don't aim a fan at a humidor. Humidor seals are never perfectly tight so all you will do is force your humidification unit to do more work than necessary.
