Temperature problem

[smokin_nic]

Hi,
Since 2 weeks we have high temperature (near 42 celcius with the humidity), I don't have an A/C. I place a fan near my humidor but the temp. won't go down (is about 80 farenheit in my humidor). Any idea on what should I do to help the temp. go down ?

thanks
Nicolas

You need evaporative cooling, the fan alone is just blowing hot air around. Put a wet towel on the humidor and blow air on it. See how much that helps....

I have the exact same problem. I keep my humi in the basement now though. It usually stays in the 70-75 range. I would like it in the 65 degree range but with temps in the 90's everyday, its tough.

I would put it in your basement and see if that works.

It's already in my basement, but it's extremely hot and and the humidity is really high (near 70%) since 2-3 weeks. I'm feeling like a cigar in my appartement. I'm planning to buy an A/C this week. Thanks for the help.

Nic, I wouldn't rely on A/C to keep the temp down. That sounds expensive. Search the site for fridgador or edisonador. Using a wine cooler is probably optimal for warm climeates. In Quebec, you probably wouldn't need it even plugged in year round.

I am using a wine cooler right now to keep them cool because I also live in an apartment and don't have a basement. You could go that route. Once September rolls around I will probably just unplug it because I don't need it on during the winter.

Thanks for your help. Damn Quebec it's death freezing in winter and summer is way to hot and humid. Tomorrow night i'm going to go look for a wine cellar. Anything in particular that I should look at ? Temperature range, space, companies better than other, anything else you think I should look ?

Thanks
Nicolas

Search for wine cooler, winecooler, fridgeador, edison-a-dor, and you should come up with some good info. Too much stuff to retype right now, if you can't find it I will look around a find some old threads on it.
