Dry Cure Cabinet Build
« Reply #-1 on: January 31, 2012, 02:34:07 PM »
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.

Tommy


Had my regular garage fridge that was supposed to be my dry cure but it was taken over by other fridge items. When i found  this little fridge i could not pass it up. All the controls i have had for a couple years now.

I think 1st is going to be cured pepperoni, Landjaeger and some sweet lebanon bologna.

Hi Ahron


Youbetcha Amigo  ;D  Will work better than my dehydrator did.

Moving right along here.

Got my digital temp and hygrometer mounted. The controller has a piggyback plug that the fridge will plug into. This will control the fridge.







Pretty warm out today.



Why cant they make all the holes the same size? Now i gotta go buy 3/4" plugs



Moisture/weather box and lamp socket.



BBL with more

What will the temperature range be when working?

Is the light socket on the floor of the unit?  What purpose will that serve?
