Long, round, firm, porous containers for kitty litter

[OnePyroTec]

A little history on Kitty Liter. The first people who figured out it works and started pushing the concept were laughed at severely from guys & gals who "knew" these guys were crackpots. Over time, peoples minds were changed one person with an open mind at a time until no one (or not many) is laughing at using Kitty Littler any longer. I had the pleasure of having dinner with one of the innovators of using Kitty Litter just over a decade ago. I asked him point blank "how does it work?" He said it is the simplest thing you could ever think of. He told me to "train" Kitty Litter, you simply put it in an ice chest with a Cigar Oasis that is set to what ever % you want to have...be it 65% or 70% or anything else...and close the lid for a couple weeks. When that fan quits coming on you know you are at your desired humidity level and you are good to go.

That's not the simplest thing I could ever think of.

Especially since I have neither an ice chest nor a Cigar Oasis. And I don't particularly want to screw around with a cigar humidification system.

Bovedas -- which I've been using -- are 0% maintenance. My only problem is that they are "slow to respond" to temperature-change-induced RH swings.

I'm not the type of guy who laughs at a new idea or laughs at the concept of using KL for humidification. I've read old threads where people got into huge arguments about KL vs non-KL. I really don't care either way. I just want something that's as little maintenance as I can have; I have enough to occupy my mind.

If HF beads lock on to a certain RH and don't let go, then I'll be happy to throw those in my DIY containers.

(FYI, my DIY containers seem to work well with vapor transmission. There are 16 columns of pushpin-punched holes in each tubo. Punching the holes was extremely easy, though a bit time-consuming. I just eyeballed it. I used La Gloria Cubana 'Gloria en Cedro' tubos for the project.)
