Finally getting around to working on my cure fridge for dry cure sausage.
Got the inside box location and mounted. Has a seal on the back of the box.
I'm using a sprinkler riser for the pipe through the side.
Got the plugs wired and a seal ready.
Working complete.
The Dayton humidity controller. Set the dial and plug the humidifier into the Dayton.
Gotta drill a hole for the temp and hygrometer probes yet.

Very nice. I'm hoping to move from an apartment to a house in a few months and I'm hoping to do a similar project. Are you getting your equipment from Grainger or Allied Kenco or...?

Are you going to use Light bulbs for heat or those ceramic lizard lamps? Does your Condensor fan inside the unit run continuously or just when the compressor is on for the cooling? Looks good so Far Nepas!!!

Was looking at the ceramic lamp, 100w, will put out the heat but i'm thinking now to use 2 60w bulbs.
The condenser fan has a switch i can turn on and off? Dont know why they did that.

Here is the top controls.
Temp knob goes to 7. One switch is the light which is fluorescent located in front under a plastic protector and the other switch is for the fan.

Why don't you just make it instructional rather than a riddle or a puzzle? I realize that the instructor must be more knowledgable than the student but you could take a chance.
I don't think that we need to know the size and location of each and every screw that you installed but there is no need for you to not disclose the maker and the source of the major parts that you use. Likewise when you make sausage you could very well include the meat ratios and the spice mixtures that you use. Then we could also enjoy the quality of sausage that your friends enjoy.
Thanks.

Yeah going to be different here in GA with the humidity. Not like back north in PA.
Good time to see how the controls work.
