How many heartfelt beads do I need?

[zeavran1]

Having read all the info for the beads on this forum, I've decided to buy some for my humidors. I'll admit I'm somewhat lazy and this seems to be the easiest way to care for my smokes. I've read the heartfelt website but I'm confused as to how much I actually need. How much do I need for a 300 count, 50 count and 20 count humidors.
Your help will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

There is a bead calculator on the website.


Put in the dimensions and it will tell you how much you need. Round up..too many are better than not enough!

If you live in an overly harsh environment, you might want to take that into account. I live in Phoenix, and for the most part the humidity in our house never goes above 35% or so. I used Viper's calculator on the Heartfelt website, and then bought half again the recommended amount for each of my humidors. Money well spent IMHO.

I just ordered a pound of beads and plan on getting around a 40 gal cooler.

I'm putting together a 28-quart coolidor right now. Heartfelt calculator said a quarter-pound for me, but I think I'm going to put the whole half-pound I bought in there -- more is supposed to be better than less for maintaining the proper humidity level. Got my beads yesterday and my cedar trays came today ...
