[Brown Thumb]

What in tarnation is that?

Bob

Steam Generator they use them in saunas and time warp machines.

1700 Watts. I bet you could do an entire batch of Black Cavendish overnight. It seems like that will be tricky to regulate the chamber temperature. Interesting possibilities.

I see a vistet from the local DEA. comein your way.

The lack of the characteristic smell should keep the visit short.

 

[Brown Thumb]

Well I picked up a couple pieces to give it a rough in trial try.
No controllers, transformers, relays, Until I found out how well she works.
She is a Steamer. I am happy with her. She is a keeper.
These things are big bucks but this is a Brand new older model a guy never installed.
160 bucks delivered on greed bay, I am Happy with Suzy Steamer, at least she puts out.

Kiln, Flue Cure, Sauna, Steam Shower. Ah, the life of a tobacco farmer.

You need a hookah to smoke while you're in there steamin'.

 

[DGBAMA]

Through the fog, I think I can see that lack of humidity will not be a problem in your curing this year.

 

[deluxestogie]

Wow. $160! They go for 10 times that.

Them new ones got all kind of Gadgets in them, I just yanked out her Timer and hard wired her for testing.

 

[Brown Thumb]

I got the dampener I needed today to let out the R/h as needed.but being cheap . It was designed a normally open damper And I needed a normally closed one.after a few hrs. Of work being cheap paid off. I got her working. 21 bucks shipped eBay.I am running out of time.

 

[Knucklehead]

So you changed it to normally closed? What was the purpose of the hole in the flapper that is now filled with a plug?

 

[Brown Thumb]

It opens as needed not often, the plug keeps the R/h in. It was built for a furnace application.

 

[Brown Thumb]

I got the auto damper in and it worked but it took forever for the rh to come down when it opened.
So I found a fan and now it brings the rh Down to set point in no time. The fan comes on when damper opens.

It might smell good, but the leaf is a mess from the jap bettles.
You have some awesome looking Big leaf. I hope your cure goes well and don't forget to cover the ground with something Inside your fort.
Your right it is Nasty Out. Suckering in between sun and clouds.

 

[grgfinney]

Yeah putting down 4mil floor in the morning

 

[BarG]

When your makin cig baccy BT them holes in your leaf will dissapear like a whisper in the wind. I wouldn't think it hurts nothin.

 

[BarG]

I haven't seen a jap beetle in a long while. they sucked my tomatoes dry back in the 90's if I recall. They must have landed here and headed to cooler climes. I had never heard of or seen a snowy tree cricket till this year but they can chew holes in leaves like you wouldn't believe.
They are like a cross between a grass hopper and a mayfly. real soft body but nimble and quick. you can catch em easy but their numbers can be great.

 

[Brown Thumb]

The jap beetles have retreated I think and hope, they make a freaking Mess of the leaf.
Not a good day for the Chamber.
Had a Forth of July fireworks display in the control panel.
I Guess that is one way for checking out if you got her grounded properly.
Da, don't pull out controller to sharp edges of hole cut in box when adjusting controller calibration.
Oh well the circuit breaker works.

 

[cigarchris]

What controller/sensor are you using for the auto-damper?
