Browning Safes Everdry Electric Safe Dehumidifier 164128 13% OFF. i bought another 48 gun safe from cabelas. i have a portable dehumidifier running 24/7 @50% .in the basement i ordered the dehum rod from amozon its the same one that opticsplanet has. what do you think of this item. what about possible fires?anyone ever heard of a fire starting from inside of the safe.from one of these rods:)
Apparently they don't get hot enough to cause fires...so the story goes. So, no stories about fires caused.
I found a small dehumidifier at Home Depot that I like. It is about 8-10 inches high and collects about a cup of water at a time. I like this better than just making warm humid air. You do have to empty it about once a week, but that is not hard. Mine has been working for about 2 years now. It does have automatic shut-off when full.

Is there anything against silica gel as I have a couple of small bags in my safes and oven dry them carefully every 3-4 weeks.
I never needed anything, even when in the east coast of Canada where the humidity was huge. I just oiled my hardware and carried on.
i live in Georgia . my other safe has expensive leather holsters stored inside. and when my son comes over he always opens the safes and says you got mold on the leather
Installed led lights 24volt the kind used at the grocery store frozen food cases. really lite the inside up well.:)
I'm 15 miles off the Gulf Coast and never use anything in my safe. Our house always runs between 45% & 55% RH...

I have my gunsafes outfitted with one/each heater stick, Eva-Dry DH and small desk fan to keep the air constantly moving inside the box (the fans also add a bit of heat).
HenryB,
Your safe is too neat. Fill it up. :D
One of three. I don't leave room for humidity.

Too much stuff in there Jim, I better come over and get some of that stuff out of your way.
Ahhhh ... the Thread is going to morph into a gunsafe showcase. :)
Here is a pic of my north gunsafe that I took about a decade ago.

Yep, great gun cabinet there Henry,just a disturbing lack of Lee Enfield's issue to rectify!
So, is that like a US side and a Warsaw Pact side? Sort of?Quote:

Good guess, Jim, but ...Quote:

On the left, the front TALL row is one MN91/30 and 3 of my SVT-40s. The remainder is an assortment of Lee-Enfields, K98ks, a coupla of MN M38s & Mauser M48s, an MN M39 and an FR8.
Those white-painted dividers that I made can each accomodate 24 longguns, so this "48-gun" gunsafe actually is a 48-gun gunsafe. ;)

That's all I could identify...Quote:
