In moving to Ohio, I gave up my fairly nice, self-built wine cellar and went with a wine cabinet. I've been fairly happy with it overall. It's a Vinotemp with a capacity of around 550 bottles. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect humidity-wise, and my worst fears are happening. I usually run around 45-50% humidity. The cooloing unit doesn't seem to run a lot, but more than enough to suck all the moisture out of the air. I believe a decent solution would be to place a very small humidifier within the unit. I can remove a few rows of racks on one side to accomodate it. There are also two power outlets within the cabinet, one for the cooling unit and another for the light which I do not need and can disconnect.
So, has anyone run into a fairly small humidifier with a humidistat? I have found only one, a Holmes HM-5125, but it is a warm air humidifier. I really think a cool-mist one would make more sense, but I can only find fairly large ones.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
