question for you coolidor nerds

[marcsheldon]

can i use an unplugged freezer/refigerador for a coolidor? it would seem perfect, but i havent seen you guys discuss that option. im wondering if the freon (sp?)or something else might be a hinderence.

any input would be much appreciated.

there are no issues with freon that I know of. What I've heard so far is that you should absolutely sterilize to kill any reminders of what WAS stored in the freezer. I would go with plenty of exposed spanish cedar too, to buffer the RH. I expect you'll be filling it with boxes, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Lastly, I've heard that they tend to get warm, even unplugged. Watch your temp.

I use a Red Bull fridge for my fridgador.
I have no problems with it at all.
Maintains humidity like a champ.
Spanish cedar is a bit overkill... Boxes or trays should be more than sufficient.
Some beads and you are good to go!
Good luck!

I'm just looking for mass for the cedar. Boxes work fine.

I have a small fridge that works great. Go for it!

Why not hook it up to a temp controller?
That way you can keep your cigars at a cooler temp.
Its only a $60.00 upgrade.
