Step by Step Instructions for Curing Chamber?

Postby Meat » Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:12 pm

Hi -- I've looked through a lot of threads and seen a lot of great curing chambers. They explain what was done, but I wonder if there is a thread I missed that gives a step by step instruction for how to convert an old fridge or freezer into a curing chamber? I think I can figure out what parts I need (a humidifier, thermostat, etc., ) but I'm not sure how to best install them and integrate the whole system.

This is something I've wanted to do for some time, but I haven't embarked on that journey yet. I found this article recently and thought that it covered the steps extremely well.

There's a lot here as well: just try the search function (top left). If you have problems finding stuff, just ask and someone will help.

Jason also has a lot of stuff for people who are US based here:

...and a quick plug for my stuff for our UK based members:

Here you can get the temperature controller, humidity controller and humidifier/dehumidifier (with optional silica gel pack) all in one package.

From a UK view-point, that looks a superb deal.
