I'm finally getting around to building a curing chamber, We moved last month and as luck would have it, the new place came with an extra frig. It only took me a millisecond to figure out what to do with it.
I've been researching temp control and i'm still not sure what to do, and would like your thoughts on the subject. It will be located in my basement which right now the temps are 64-68f (18-20c). Being a new to me basement I'm assuming as winter comes along the basement temps will drop to the mid 50's (12-14c) so I'll need to be heating the chamber to maintain a curing temp. But come spring it will need to be chilled sometimes and sometimes heated.
I don't see a lot of temp controllers the heat and cool. I'd prefer a plug and play, but have been studying Wheels setup, but it seems a little intimidating with all the wiring. and I'm still trying to get a handle on phil reasoning about heating the unit to cause the chiller to kick on to cool it.
I was thinking I could easily build a curing room where as I could place the chamber in and maintain a warm room temp, so it would only use the chiller for temp control. to me thats the easiest solution, but then again, I'm a carpenter.
if anyone has any thoughts I'd like to hear them, until then I'll keep studying.
Also thanks to Phil, Jason M, Matt M and Solaryellow, for sharing your builds, they have been most helpful.
