Temperature maintenance? Coolerdor question

[Danimal]

I am thinking to build a coolerdor this summer, but I live in Houston on the 2nd floor my house where the temp easily reaches 80 degrees when the sun is shining in unless I blast the AC, which my family hates. How do I maintain a good temp in my coolerdor?

Also, what is a frigerdor? I've searched the forms but cannot find a picture or description of what it actually is. If it'll keep my temp low that will be a viable option for me.

Finally, best place online to buy humidification beads?

Thanks guys I'm relatively new at this. I appreciate all the input.

Hey DKim,

See poker's thread on cooling for some places to start.

As for fridgeador, if you do a search for edison-a-dor on here, you will find great info on using a refrigerator or wine chiller as a humidor:

For beads, i have ordered a couple of things from Viper at Heartfelt industries and been extremely happy. You can see Viper's thread on bead FAQs at the top of this forum.

That about covers it. Nice wrap RcktS4.

You can buy those Blue Ice packs at Walmart for less than a dollar a pop. I've heard of people sticking a few of those in there.
