thanks guys.. too bad i smoked through about 1/4 of that, and sold a few others..

im getting low right now, but still comfortable..

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

As a beginner, I think I need to reevaluate what "comfortable" is! :r

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

^^ lol.. i used to be comfortable with a full 100 ct desktop... now i have about 35 boxes and im content

just for ideas for others, here is how it was when i had the trays, and a different bottom cooler (it broke)

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

That's beautiful in it's own right, and something I'd feel "comfortable" with. LOL

As an amateur wood worker, I could easily see me making shelves for a wineador...I just can't see me affording to fill it afterwards! At least not without the fiance dumping my ass. LOL

There are some Damn Nice wine cooler so far!!!

Glad to see some BOTL showing us the goods.

Keep 'Em coming guys.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I saw this picture in a old thread and this picture is what lead me to get the trays and find handles for them!

Thanks so much Ron.... even seeing the old pictures like this gets the wheels moving for us new guys and gives a lot of good ideas.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Thinking about setting one of these up would this Wine Cooler be a good one to use? Not looking to store a ton of cigars but should be pleanty of space for me.

Chris, im very glad to hear this.. ! its always fun to see new things, and new ideas, and play around with this silly hobby of ours :D

good luck to all!

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

It's a start but if your anything like me it will be full and you'll be wanting bigger in a month or two. It's a slippery slope this hobby.... So after I started with my small 8 bottle cooler once it filled up in 30 days I said.... Screw It.... I'm just gonna bite the bullet and get the NewAir since it was only $180.

I have had the 28 bottle NewAir for about 2 or 3 months and its nearing full with my trays.... time to order some drawers from Forrest.

Whatever you decide brother will be a great start.

Let us know if we can help.

Good gracious that's a lot of smokes! :tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

just trying to be like you man ! :banger

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Should be a good start bro! It Thermoelectric so that good. With it only being 3 bottles wide though it wont be wide enough to fit say the cheaphumidor trays in but if your just using it for some boxes or some bags of singles it would work great.

Just make sure you get some beads. kitty litter in there for humidity and a digital hygrometer and you'll be set. You can get some cheap esquisicat kitty litter litter and 99 cent bags at petsmart and a cheap $7 walmart digital hygrometer to start off.

If you move forward on this and have any questions on how to build I would be happy to help. See my wine cooler build for some good details that may help you out a lot and answer some questions up front.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I was at my local ABC liquor store and saw this... seemed to be a good deal. Any one know if they are worth the money to convert to a winador?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

If not for the cigars, it is a great deal for a wine fridge.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

wow that is sweet would be freaking huge wineador...

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

You guys all have awesome looking wineadors...bad part is, I can already see, hear, and feel my wife being pissed as I ask her if I can make one! lol

Keep it up though, so when I finally am "allowed" I can find great resourses

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Hells yeah!!! That is an incredible price on a gorgeous unit. It's a $625 machine. I'd steal it right out from under you if I was in Florida right now.
It's compressor driven, but it can be modded to work like a charm by adding a couple computer fans powered by an AC adapter. The cost to convert it would be under 20 bucks. Free if you're resourceful.
You can leave everything else as is, you'd just need a bunch of beads or a hydra or both. (I'd use both, active and passive humidification combos always works best in big units.)
If you don't want it, buy it and send it to me!!! :D

Seriously, it's a steal. If you have use for something that big, grab it. If you don't, grab it anyways. One of the Florida crew is bound to take it off your hands. :tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I'd probably use it for Lisa's wine, myself. I got her a Frigidaire wine cooler for her wine that's the same as I use for my drinks and winador. I modded the ones for my drinks and cigars. They work great and hold up great. There's no reason they won't last forever.
Same goes for the Danby. Thermoelectrics are generally very cheaply made, replaceable units. They aren't intended to last long and usually don't. They don't work in hot rooms, either. This Danby would work anywhere. :tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Hummm...I will go by and check it out again tommorow. Unfortunately, I would have to buy 2, The wife would insist that she gets one for her wine, then I could have mine for my cigars.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Will you ship????:D

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

If someone is truely interested in this unit and are not to far away...I could be game for a short road trip for delivery.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

If there were 2, I'd drag 2 home. If there were 10 at that price, I'd take my trailer. :tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

OHHHH.... crap I have several traliers.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

When I first got into cigars a friend at work gave me this humidor. I didn't know anything about seasoning them and by the time I figured it out, I had stashed this thing away.

I'd like to use it to store the stuff I burn through on a regular basis. So I dug it out of the garage last night and started to season it. I kind of played around with this before... but I didn't give it much time back then, but it never really sealed that well. My goal is to try seasoning this for the duration of November.

Any tips tricks I can consider to help there? I was thinking about maybe some kind of weather stripping or something?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

... yeah, and apparently I posted this in the wrong thread. Sorry about that.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

No worries, give the sticky on humidor seasoning a good read, lots of good info in there :tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I already ran the numbers and if it were possible, I'd be at your house tomorrow:D Awesome gesture none the less:tu

I've already called the local ABC in Chattanooga. No dice.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

the fridge would work great!!! one of my vinos is compressor and i just dont plug it in. works like a charm!!! its a steal at that price!!!

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

STEPHEN ..... Jump On That Bad Boy!!!

Would make a killer wineador if set up right.... if you have a cool area to keep it like a basement etc. then you can just use it like a regular air tight seal humidor and not turn it on.

That unit is absolutely beautiful for that price.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

buy it! i would

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

We have that Danby model at home. It's great for storing wine. I am always amazed at the creativity of the folks here trying to store their stogies.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Mine - it doesn't keep anything cool, but that's not an issue for me as my basement stays pretty chilly year-round...and I can't complain for $30 off Kijiji. I've "hotwired" the fan that circulates air between the top and bottom compartments to cycle with the Hydra and the two small fans that I've got plugged into it.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

looks very nice brother! Wish I had a basement to keep my smokes cool year round..... living in the valley of California makes it hard to keep my stash cool during 115 degree weather outside.

This. Got mine from Forrest back in April I believe. Couldn't be happier with every aspect; customer service, quality of product, price point and turnaround (I want to say I had them in my hands within two weeks of placing my order) are all top notch.

Sick setup ! Talking about space utilization ...

Where are your cabinet photographs ?

I can tell you how. Ditch the iPhone for an Android phone :r:r:r

I kid, I kid. Nice little unit. I'm very close to getting a Edgestar.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

yeah, believe it or not, i wanted to downsize.. Got rid of a few things i didnt "love".

and also, i have another arisocrat cabinet and most of my stuff fits into there. These wine coolers arent very deep, so i can only get one box deep, where the aristocrat i can fit two deep..

so i have the one wine cooler left for odds and ends..


lol, i just got rid of my droidX to get an iphone.. the pictures on my droid sucked!

I love that door Peter!

It seems I stumbled and slid further down the slope today. The wife and I were out wandering through a few stores and I came across a used 8 bottle wine cooler for $14 (Haier HVUE08ABS, thermo electric). I turned it on and it blew cold air and was in good condition, so I figured WTH. The wife passed on it for wine, so I get to keep it! Either I'll seal up the drain in the bottom, toss in a pound of beads and use it as a humi or use it to keep the temps perfectly balanced for my desktop humi that I keep all my best smokes in. Either way here it is:

I removed the Haier logo from the front for aesthetic reasons. Anyone have any experiences with this model?
