I just finished my china cabinet conversion and was wondering the most cost effective and easiest form of humidification.

I have 8lbs of Kitty litter pearls from a couple years ago that I didn't end up using in the wine cooler and I would like to use them because it would cost me nothing out of pocket.

Anybody use them for a cabinet?

Beads, baby.

The B&M I go to has two cabinet humidors and a walk-in. The cabinets are both humidified using the litter.

edit: my coolers are setup with beads. I couldn't find the litter anywhere....

That's good news. I have been experimenting the last two days with the litter. I put two bowls in a large freezer bag, one with charged pearls and one dry. Right now it says 67%.

I use the kitty litter silica beads in my fridgedor. Works fine for me. As the weather got cold and the humidity decreased, I had to add a bit of distilled water to the beads. My humidity came back up to 65%, just where I like it.

I use the Essick Air H12-300 3-Speed Evaporative Console Humidifier (mine is all black)

I voted beads, but technically I use them as a control device and use my leftover soap box/foam credos as a humidity supply.

Moist beads in winter and dry beads in summer.
