Hi All
New to the forum and to curing(not cured anything yet). I recently got a fridge to try my hand at building a curing chamber. I understand the basics and have read quite a bit of the information out there. I have a temperature and humidity control (InkBird)with a humidifier and a dehumidifier. The one thing I am a bit confused about is the airflow and changing of air in the chamber. It seems like replacing the stale air is important and some people just open the door every couple of days while others set up a fan to suck the air out. My idea is to create a hole in the side of the fridge and attach a PC case style fan and run it once a day for a few minutes, sucking the air out. but I have a few questions.
Thanks

- Will this be enough air exchange?
- Is airflow in the chamber while the fan is not running important?
- Do I need another vent to let fresh air in when running the fan?
- What are other methods people use?
Thanks
