What do I do with my footlocker humidor?

[Rocket Scientologist]

So I received this footlocker style humidor not too long ago and I'm not sure what to do with it. Fill it up, I know, that's not the problem. Well, it kinda is the problem. It's just a big empty box, the dimensions are roughly 15" x 12" x 10" and there are no trays.

Would plastic drawer organizer trays work? Would the plastic be a problem?
Should I just put cigar boxes in there? Use the boxes as trays in a way?
*Side question: How does a closed cigar box in a humidor get humidified? I know it happens all the time, it just seems counter-intuitive.

A) Cigar boxes probably will work best - or break em up and use em as trays.

B) Wood isn't sealed, so just like a humi leaks, so does a cigar box. They aren't even as thick.

edit: nono, I'm not done yet...

I just wanted to make sure I was first - check it: pix



left side is just boxes stacked, and right side is boxes I split in half, stacked. They fit nicely without crushing the cigars in one another.

Now in the BIG cooler....



I really am a fan of the Asylum Ogre boxes (and lids! definitely the lids!)

You'd be more impressed if you knew how many bike rides to the B&M it took to acquire that many boxes of the correct size, and I'm still not done.

Sean do you have that big cooler mounted to something or anchored somehow ?
It just seems it would flop around and not be too stable when you open and close it, although I have never tried it.

Nar- just sitting on some crappy particple board ikea knockoff table, against the wall. It doesn't really stay pinned against the wall, kinda leans forward a bit, but not a problem, and certainly not flimsy. I hold both pieces when I open the lid, but just push hard when shutting it and it sets it against the wall again. Haven't had any problems with anything falling yet...

Pics to explain better (sorry if this was a threadjack)

So the bottom looks like this (the top), except no "big handle", just the little one. Not sure if you can tell, but it slants downward, which means the other side causes the cooler to tilt back at a slight angle, helping stabilize. The handle is a nice square towards the front of this slant, so it too plays a role in keeping the cooler slightly more stable:



Then there's this part that used to be a wheel, but it's nice and flat, and fits flush up against the wall



A picture of the bottom where it's resting on the handle:



and as I said, the whole thing is sitting on a crappy cheap end table, to keep it at a height that's easier for me to access/view it

I think it's easiest to see the slant backwards in this photo...



Hope that helped!

LOL - my "spare" Newair 281 came in today !

I seriously don't think I'm coordinated enough to do that big cooler standing on end, but I could handle the footlocker.

What do you mean coordinated? I literally set it on a table and against a wall. It's really not rocket science, although getting the shelves to fit right was kind of a pain. I've seen others do it better. I think mine's not half-bad. But hard... no it was not.

lol, did I interrupt you when I clicked "Thanks"?

I think I'll probably just use cigar boxes for now. I'll be sure to remember the trays though, when the time comes.
