I’m another proud, excited, thrilled and satisfied owner of a Chasidor! I echo the praise of previous owners; excellent workmanship; the shelves, trays and drawers fit like a tailored suit.
- 3+ lbs 65% beads to blanket the 'eco-system'.
- Plugged drain.
- No external temp control; set at max of 60F.
With glass tops on each tray and drawer (solid bottoms); there's effectively 5 mini-humidors/cab's/dress boxes.
(This Chasidor is technically full...a freezidor next?)
Thanks Chuck!

How did you plug your drain? I'm not satisfied with my 'solution'

To plug my drain hole, I just used tape..

jaymz,
I found a machine screw on my tool bench that had the right diameter to fit into the drain hole.
If you have enough thread on the drain extension use an acorn nut (5/16-18)....or the tape option.

weird, my drain plug is on the bottom inside, not on the back like yours appears to be. Thanks for the photo.

Looks nice but I think it is technically only about 1/3 of the way full. That thing hasn't even seen a game of tetris yet.

Looks great, I just picked up this wine cooler as well and was wondering when you have it set at the max (60f) does it stay there? Mine seems to drop to about 58 (checked with 3 different thermometers) and I really don't want to go below 60.
Guess if I can't get it to stay at 60+ I'll have to look into external temp control...
Thanks.

I had similar experience initially, but not for long. It's now holding ~63F regularly. I'm sure if a data logger were hooked up Iwould be surprised in the temperature swings and RH variations. But most of the time I check the Chasidor it's at 63F/65%.
I just plumbed a squirrel fan on the back inside wall throwing the heavier air upwards which seemed to help the 'eco-system.' Still watching it.
