Keeping Cabinet Cooler

[cabaiguan juan]

I haver a end-table cabinet humidor. I keep it in the bed room, which is the coolest in the apartment, but i would like to keep it cooler then it has been at the last few days. The internal temp is about 74 F. We don't have a window unit ac unit as it died in october, and I've been keeping the radiator off with the window open and the door closed, but still want the temp to be lower. Is there any thing i can add to the cabinet to cool it down inside?

Insulate the three sides and top with foam insulation sheets. Not pretty but will help keep it a few degrees cooler. You can also put it in an interior room closet.

I read up a little on on using cooler packs, i might give this a shot for the next few days.

If you use the old blue plastic type, wrap them in a paper towel so they won't sweat and drip as they thaw. If you use THIS type, you don't have to worry about dripping moisture or a change in humidity.....just rotate them every 12 hours for a few days.

What is the temp in your bedroom? Must be kinda warm in the room to get your humi up to that temp. The evenings have been cool in MD, open the window at night and cool the room off....put a small fan in the window.

Doing that should piss off your new wifey! :laugh:

Actually, she somehow understands the temp and humidity thing, atleast to the point of knowing what range they need to fall into. I put a cooler pack ontop of a washcloth in the cabinet this morning with my Oust fan hopfully blowing the now cooler air to the other side of the cabinet and thus cooling everything down. Our unit is heated by steam radiators and relies on window units for AC. I have basiclly turned off all of the steam radiators and openned the window in the bed room, but still the room is rather warm. We are above another apartment so its not like there is a boiler below us. Even the Shorter Half noted that the room was warm this morning when we got up. Well, we'll see how this goes, its freaking November! I should not have over heating probelms! Damn global warming and POS window AC units.
