New idea for humidity
-
So, I don’t want to say it yet but it is possible that I have found something that might be better than either automotive sponges or aqua dry towels in your water pan to increase humidity in your smoker! I was having a conversation this weekend that had nothing to do with meat and I learned something that made me think of this.
I am going to do some testing this upcoming week. If it doesn’t work I promise I will share because even if it doesn’t work its still an interesting idea and maybe someone esle can make it work.

What a tease!

This is almost as ambiguous as the competition about something being faster than something else that was insane post. I’m on the edge of my orange chair…

We are going to discuss this today during our live stream at waltonsinc.com/live at 3 pm (CST) it didnt’t go as expected but A) I am not done trying and B) I did learn something very interesting

Let me guess… Cigar humidor beads???
-
Cigar humidor humidity beads keep your stogies at a constant 70% environment. They soak up excess water and release it to keep your humidity at a constant 70%. The only unknown is the rate of moisture release. There are also electronic humidity controller’s that can be programmed to your optimum humidity. I have used the beads for years to keep cigars fresh but dont have an electronic.

You can increase the humidity levels from evaporation systems if you can incorporate some kind of circulating fan to increase the volume of air moving past the water pan or absorbent pads or sponges.
I also have thought about how you could use a nozzle or atomizer on a pressurized water source. If you can create a fine mist in an heated smoker, its a lot easier for it to evaporate into steam . -
smokinbubba No, it was activated charcoal and it was an enormous failure. I was monitoring it with a dry bulb/wet bulb system I set up and it had exactly 0 effect. Disappointing but I am not 100% done testing yet.

No such thing as an “enormous failure” just a need for further research.
