    Don Pepin Serie JJ Belicoso Natural

    Good to know Chris. Been having issues the last 4 months with my 65% beads wanting to be 70% beads which has caused a number of issues and surely didn't help the DPs. Good news to hear you will be at the Pepin event Thursday. Things are getting a bit rocky this week but still hope to make it.

    Don Pepin Serie JJ Belicoso Natural

    Thanks for posting the review. I smoked one of these for the first time a few weeks ago and though I had some splitting, it wasn't nearly as bad as yours. From what I have read, this is a corojo wrapper and really seems thinner then most other lines using corojo. Anyone have more insight into...

    Salmon Glaze

    Well, not exactly a glaze nor real healthy, but a couple of strips of peppered bacon and fresh lemon slices with a pinch of dill is excellent. I have also made salmon similar to this recipe and it comes out well. However, with good salmon, like steak, less is more. Consider just some lemon and...

    Can this Wine cooler work as a humi

    Correct. According to this chart, if you cool 50 degree celsius saturated air (100% RH) to 40 degrees celsius, you will have ~45 (95g - 50g) grams of condensation and the air will still be 100% RH. When talking about fridges though, its important to understand that the air closest to the...

    Can this Wine cooler work as a humi

    I am growing a little frustrated with the parroting and general spreading of misinformation so I apologize if this comes off a little harsh. How does a compressor dry air? Where does this cold air get pushed from? Have you seen fridges with a blower on them that takes external air, cools it...

    Wine fridge (w/condenser), humidity problems, solution?

    What temperature is it actually cooling to and from what? Is it cooling from 80 to 65? Bigger temperature swings are going to cause bigger RH swings, you might want to consider upping the temperature to 70. Bad idea. Use beads, plug your drains, and channel any condensation back into the...

    Wine fridge (w/condenser), humidity problems, solution?

    A compressor doesn't, by itself, cause more issues for humidity then a peltier device as they are both simply cooling the air. The argument was made by tmoney2007 that some compressor units will cool to their maximum temperature and since the temperature has a large swing, that more water in the...

    Wine fridge (w/condenser), humidity problems, solution?

    This one at Amazon plugs into the outlet, and your fridge into it. The thermostat itself is mounted externally (mine is in the back) and the thermometer can be ran around the outside of the unit and between the door and seal. The wire that connects the thermometer is real thin. However, I...

    A contest for retailers - Done

    I floated this idea across a few long term members last year and even though they thought it was a good idea, I saw some potential roadblocks. After some more thought (and seeing some serious issues) I thought I would give this a go. I run a small security consulting company in Seattle. We...

    Fridge and Wine cooler Guide

    I originally read your post wrong thinking you wanted to convert a freezer so here goes a revised response. The way the freezer compartments work in the small fridges is that the cooling channels run through the metal that forms the freezer compartment. This is basically the source for all...

    Humi idea

    You could also just skin the top and sides with veneer but then replace the door with something nice. This would be a lot easier and still achieve the desired effect. Keep us posted on what you end up doing.

    Any thoughts on Edge Star 28 Thermoelectric Coolers compared to Vinos?

    Happy Earth Day

    Great photo tsmckenney. With the current economy, there is a likelihood of me traveling to a few countries including Egypt and Dubai as we chase work. What is your general impression of the people, culture, and geography?
