Hence the lingering smell. The same happens in my garage, but it's a garage and I don't care. I think you have a pretty good setup where you shouldn't even need to run that scrubber, just my two cents.

Have to say that I tried just running the fan G and it didn't work nearly as well without the scrubber. Ran the fan entire time while smoking and for a few hours after I was done and closed the door and hit the sack with it still running. Still a smokey smell in the am and wife did not approve. Worth a shot but sticking with my tried, trusted and wife approved process.

Wife is pushing me to pursue this further AND convert the closet to a humidor.

Got calls in to 2 roofers for assessments.

Going to do a rough sketch of closet for humidor and ideas.

If doing a humidor that big go fancy with lighting. Small led strip lights under each shelf. Run electric to closet for humidification or fans for circulation. Etched glass door?

Just some quick thoughts

Awesome ideas - Ever work with any of those "cut to length" led strips? I'd need a system that all comes together to a single plug.

No I had an idea to use them in a wineador but then went to my current humidor. I may still get some in there eventually but not soon enough to help you out with suggestions.

This sounds fishy TJ. Wives don't push for such things. Something is up, something big. Run, run fast and run far :crossbones:

That being said, I'm telling my wonderful wife that the bar has officially been raised

One roofer flaked today, next Roofer is scheduled for Tuesday.

Second HVAC guy said that 1470 cfm was WAY too much unless I wanted a constant breeze flowing by, plus said I'd need an open window, door or intake so the fan would not burn out over time. He suggested cutting that in half or more.

That makes some sense to me - I didn't think my calcs were that far off but when you were talking 1470 I was wondering what the hell I was smoking back then !

I have to tell you though... I was telling my wonderful wife that your wife was "pushing" for a smoking room and also a walk in humidor. She immediately said "Oh wow, she wants a Jaguar - I'm happy with my Acura" I told her the bar has been raised but I still got a firm NO.
The back story is that outside my office / smoking room we have a small room that would be the perfect size for a walk in. It's under the stairs going to our attic so not overly tall and just big enough for a smaller upright washer and dryer. When I mention the walk in and moving the laundry from the floor all the clothes are on to the basement 2 stories down, well you can imagine the curse words that get thrown in my direction.........

Update - Roofer showed up yesterday and suggested "O'hagin" vents - basically fake roof tiles so you don't have a big T-Top or dome sticking out of the roof.

Another HVAC guy came and took measurements, talked about the goals, looked at supply vent location, etc and is going to get back to me (I have more confidence in this guy - seemed to care, take the time to check everything out, and do some math w/product matching). Told him about the roof and he suggested adding a couple more vents just to ventilate the attic space above the room, making it easier to cool.

Roofer had a hole in his schedule and shows up tomorrow.
