Hi folks,
I laid out the parts for a simple curing chamber with temperature and humidity control. I started with a giant box fan in the chamber, but then read about case hardening, etc... So I figured I should post my current design and see if anyone has thoughts or critiques.
Right now, it's simply:
* Inkbird Temperature control for the freezer (same approach I use for my beer fermentation)
* Inkbird Humidity control, hooked up to an ultrasonic humidifier and a dehumidifier (I had to buy another one, since the stupid touch switch turns off after power loss. So I switched to one with a physical switch).
* Hanging racks (that I cut from the racks that came with the freezer
* Two axial fans for air movement (but not as much movement as the box fan, lol) and equalizing temps/humidity.
Here's how it looks:
I have it set to 70% RH and 52F, and it reliably holds both.
My main question is if there's anything folks think I missed or need to do before I start setting this up more permanently. Main concern is airflow or fan placement, but I'm also not sure how important that is beyond simple movement like the above.
Thanks!
