Air Circulation and Even RH
I believe air must be able to flow without restriction inside a humidor. They should be a 'path' that will allow and encourage the flow of air so as to balance the RH evenely with the Humidor. Blocking 'designed in' air flow by the cabinet maker is self defeating [IMO]
My Humidors have a seperate control [timer/relay] for the recirculation fans. I do NOT merely add fans to the circuitry of the Humidifier. My design allows for infinite 'off & on' cycling of recirculation fans with 'off & on' intervals [duration] adjustable with two knobs. In my opinion, merely having more fans that go on when the humidity sensor reads lower than the 'set point' will only accelerate how quickly the immediate area surrounding the sensor will achieve the desired 'set point'. Adding fans on their own independant timer/control WITH properly designed air pathways is the way to make things work best in my experience. I can set as many as 6 radio remote sensors [Extech's] inside my cabinets and find the RH even thoughout.
