Meat locker, stage 1

yzzi

I wired up most of the new meat locker. Got the temp and humidity controllers wired, and the fan is in. Ran out of time to mount sensor wires, the humidifier and permanently attach the controllers, but it's running like a champ so far. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it tomorrow. I think I'm going to dry age a rib roast first before before attempting a cure. Sorry for the bad pics, I'll try and get some later.

That's pretty awesome!  Can you tell me more about the set-up please?

About to prep for dinner so I'll just post the link I based it on. Biggest difference I made is that I wired the temp controller to bypass the existing internal temp control.

Looks like a great project.

Wired in the humidifier and this things controlling temp and humidity like a champ. I think I'm going to get a PVC to mount the controllers in then mount the box on the side of the fridge since that'd give me plenty of length on sensor wires. I'll save that for another day since it's working. I'm letting it run at 65 degrees and 55 % humidity this week to see how long the water tank lasts. Seems like the humidity cycles on and off every couple minutes for a few seconds.
