Re: I dropped the RH in my humi.....
Mine is around 71.43% at the top of the Coolidge and 67.4% at the bottom. Works good enough

Re: I dropped the RH in my humi.....
Have kept mine at 63% for years...sticks seem to smoke a lot better for some reason. I'm with Stearns, haven't used a hygrometer in years...smoking great, straight burns...must be doing something right. :D

Re: I dropped the RH in my humi.....
Well I have been keeping mine at 66-70. I will be rethinking it after my run in with mold. I am thinking probably the 62-65 range will be my new target range.....

Re: I dropped the RH in my humi.....
Funny that I found this thread as I just drop my cabinet to 63 after finding the sticks to have a hard draw. I figured they were over humidified.

That's actual RH, not whatever a hygrometer may be reporting. I have to take into consideration how accurate the hygrometer is, and what it's normal deviation is. Mind ya, that 80% used to be the old rule of thumb. Now Health Agencies are saying that if the RH stays above 70% indoors for extended periods of time, mold will almost certainly grow. Notice that this stuff doesn't jive with the 66-70RH you mentioned. That suggests that your hygrometers are wholly inadequate, way off, or flat out broke. Lowering your setpoint is an excellent idea, but you may not be going low enough to make up for how screwed up your hygrometer is. Good Luck, brother!!! :tu |

Beads at 63-65 make sweet my agricultural products very pleasing.

Re: I dropped the RH in my humi.....
my humi is at RH 68%; if I want to smoke at 62% can I pull one out and let sit before smoking? How long (average) should it sit out?
thanks! |

Having said that, leaving them out for couple of days or dry-boxing them for a couple of days should be enough. |

I was thinking of trying for a couple hours and see if that makes a difference before smoking without causing cracking damage. |
Re: I dropped the RH in my humi.....
I would guess a couple hours would have minimal noticeable effects, I would try overnight. But experimenting is part of the fun, so give a couple different time frames a shot and see what works best :tu

No he is not.
There's lots of reasons why he's getting away with it, but I'm too tired to type. He'll pay the piper one day. Plus I'm still gonna kick his nuts. :D |
