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

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

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

You'll just have to wait..... My drawers aren't ready yet....

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

Lots of nice collections here guys, thanks for making me drool.

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

Rather than posting a new thread like the noob I am, I figured I'd ask here! I searched for a a thread on how to set up a wineador, but didn't find anything concrete. Is there one and if so, could you please post the link for me? Thanks in advance!

Was finally able to partially fill my 28-bottle Edgestar. It was looking pretty sad for a while

The trays are the large cedar trays from Forrest and I just added some handles to them. They fit pretty darn good for the price. I couldn't justify the drawers (almost bought them) since I only paid $30 for the fridge

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

Ok I cant take it any more. Ordered my Newair Aw-280E. And now to order my drawers.

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

Always here to help brother! -(P ..........................

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

I want some new drawers :sh

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

Waiting on my drawers from Forrest as well. I'm also waiting for the plastic smell to dissipate from the 280E....

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

280E is here and I ordered my drawers from Forrest. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning....

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

i figured with all the new coolers on here, why not fire my old cooler up, and add some trays again, like old times.. my aristocrat was getting too jammed up, so i figured why not use this for now...

but this time, i added a shelf on the bottom to space it out better and to have a drain galley for any moisture to collect. i used 3 7/8th thick powdercoated L-brackets, and a piece of plexi. and then i had a piece of plexi cut 7/8th thick to cover the front, so it looks stealth.. in the pics, you cannot even tell that its there

and then i filled it with cigars..

thank you Alan! good ol HT!

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

So is there a preferred brand of wine cooler? I was thinking of getting a vino temp off Craigslist. Their factory store is local to me and they sell their display models seriously discounted

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

Edgestar and vinotemp are probably the most commonly used, although any thermoelectric wineador will get the job done.

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

Vino's are the cream of the crop ... but way to expensive (but some say and it could be true they last longer then cheaper units)

the most common as of late actually are NewAir and Edgestar ... they can be had for anywhere from $100 - 200 bucks (the lower end is refurbished and dent and scratch edgestar models from Compact Appliance).

You can find New Air from Air and Water Inc and the Edgestar at Compact Appliance for the best prices online.

If buying always look for coupon codes for discounts and % off.

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

In my opinion, finding used Vino's on Craigslist is the way to go. You can typically find VT-28's for $100.

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

Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I have been reading a lot of threads. Thanks for all of the info, especially on wineadors.

History:
I used a desktop humidor.
The humidity was fine, but it stayed at over 80 degf for a large portion of the day where my cigars are located.
I saw the wineador threads and my journey began.

Being the thrifty person I am, I found a compressor version of a Vinotemp for $30 at a local second hand shop. It was okay, but condensation was hard to deal with.

I bought a Vinotemp 28 from Home Depot for $319.
Let it air out for a couple of week using baking soda and smell is gone.
I bought beads from Heartfelt.
I also bought a Hydra SM Humidifier and three fans from Heartfelt.
And, I ordered Shelfs from a member.
Being a few weeks out on shelf/drawer delivery, I needed temporary shelves.
I bought three plastic food cutting boards from a local overstock place.
Cut them down to size.
Then, I screwed a Hydra SM Humidifier fan into the back of each shelf.
I installed the shelves and hooked up the fans which only operate when the Hydra SM Humidifier comes on, and put the beads and cigars in.
I ran the power for the Hydra SM Humidifier through the Vinotemp drain by cutting the wire and reconnecting the cord outside the Vinotemp.
A little trick that I used the get the wire trough the existing drain: Cutting about 2 feet of nylon string, I stuffed about one inch of the string down the drain from the inside and blew compressed air through the drain, again, from the inside. The string came shooting out the back of the unit in less than a second. Used the string to pull the cord through from the inside out.
It should look nicer when I get the Spanish cedar shelves/drawers.
Here is the result.

Please tell me anything that looks wrong to you. I absolutely will NOT be offended by any criticism. I want to do it right.
And, feel free to ask any questions.

The shown inventory includes:
Partagas Spanish Rosado
Macanudo Cafe
Padilla Habano
Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real
Gurkha Grand Reverse (cognac infused)
Alex Bradley Tempest
Tampa Humidor Factory Throwouts (for golf course)

I WILL be adding more.

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

Might want to think about cutting slots in the cutting boards to help airflow

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

These are temporary for this wineador, but I will be moving them to the cheap compressor Vinotemp that I mentioned above. Good idea. Thanks.

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

How many pounds of beads is that in there? Looks like 3-4 pounds?

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

looks neat. Great start, i'm sure you'll get plenty of advice but i'll leave it to the more experienced folk...

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

Two pounds of 65% beads plus an electronic humidifier set om 65%.

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

My Newair should be here tomorrow

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

Saved my change in a jar for a few months and Coinstar'ed it into an Amazon GC. My New Air AW280-E just arrived! I'm super pumped to get this thing seasoned and my few sticks in there. I can't wait! This thread is going to be very helpful.

Thanks for the inspiration and ideas. Pics to follow...eventually...

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

Just a quick update.
The RH has settled in at 65% - 67% per three different hydrometers and 65 degrees F.
I am happy with the results.
Can't wait for those Spanish Cedar shelves!

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

Nice, are you only getting the shelves or you gonna get the drawers as well?

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

Drawers AND shelves.

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

You guys all suck, lmao!! I just joined yesterday and already ordered me a new air 280. Ha ha. Gonna be a slow process but no immediate gradification in cigars right. So question for falcon man. I think im gonna copy your set up sorry but its so badass i cant help my self. Are those trays you use the 12 1/2 x 7 1/2 x 2 1/4 trays from cheap humidor??? Is that the right size. And how much space is back there. Would it be worth it to go thrugolfnut and get his deeper trays??? Would i still have room for beads/kl in back with his or no???? Thanks though super pumped to give this a whirl

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

Hi, Can someone please tell me what trays these are? They are great looking! Nice stash too!

Nice!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^ :)

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

Awesome setup! Is that in your kitchen or is that a wetbar? I would kill to get a setup like that put together in a mancave or home theater.

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

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/pictur...pictureid=7154

Love that set up! Whenever I get around to getting a wineador put together I want to put it in my kitchen. I think it looks really classy that way. Plus anytime you have company by you can show off your collection :cool2:

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

It's installed in a wetbar in the basement/mancave. I even had a dedicated electric outlet installed in the space it was installed but have never plugged it in. Being in the basement, temps have always been just fine. It's been installed for almost 2 years. Temps are always perfectly stable, plus or minus 1 degree from 68 F.

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

Just had to play Tetris to get it all to fit. Most of the boxes are full of singles.
