My Newair 121E Winedor Build

[Ilroy]

Thanks guys...Now I need to make some purchases to fill it up...I only have about 50-some odd currently. I believe some CC's will be coming soon. I can fit a handful of boxes under the bottom shelf.

Kendall, I would also normally use HF, but I already had some bovedas on hand in my tupperdors so I just grabbed a few more rather than switching it out. It's small enuf that bovedas are just fine. After those are dead and gone, I will probably switch to HF.

Got the seasoning finished and verified as good. Over the weekend got my sticks put into their new home while they wait their turn in line to burn. Here's a few pics of how it turned out.

Very innovative to use the dowels as the shelf sliders, nice work.

By chance do you know the internal dimensions of this model?

Thanks David...I actually had to come up with that on the fly. When I got everything in, I discovered that the slot for the drawers were smaller than the 3/4" wood would fit in. I thought about nibbling away at the edges of the wood to fit, but the dowels seemed so much easier to do.

According to someone on the amazon comment section, internally it is 14" H, 10 5/8" W, and 11 3/4" D. That seems about right. It's not huge, but for my purposes it is about right. I can go 2 sticks deep in my drawers easily, 3 if they are smaller RG. I could have done deeper drawers and that would fit more, but I wanted the drawers to be able to act like shelves or drawers.

Thanks!

Yea Ive been looking for a smaller model as i don't smoke as often as many of the people here do. How many sticks do you think you could fit? And how much RH media do you use and what type?

With the current drawers, I could probably fit 150 or so in them, plus maybe 3 or 4 boxes under the bottom drawer. Most of my sticks are around the robusto size roughly. They do have this wineador on amazon and at some other places with the shelves/drawers already included, but they were out of stock when I was looking...they claimed to hold up to 250 sticks...probably a reasonable estimation for smaller RG sticks.

Currently I am using 6 65% boveda packs and I have 4 more I can use if/when I need to recharge the ones in use. If I didn't already have some bovedas on hand, I would probably have gone with Heartfelt beads, and I may go that route at some point down the road, but for now the bovedas are fine.

I also don't smoke as often as many here, so this size is right for my needs.

Now all I have to do is convince the girlfriend I need it......
