Here's the start of my new curing chamber. Its a towel warmer that can be picked up on ebay, cheap. This is a used warmer and the uv bulb is probably too weak to do anything of importance except to look a 
purple. We'll see if this design has a more of a controlled environment.

And the most exciting, I can use the same shelves. I'm thinking of putting a baffle on both sides where the air vents are separated from the bud. The inside is metal that the heating element is wrapped around. The rear is made of plastic and I can cut a couple of vent holes for the design. In the picture of the rear of the cabinet there are three clips that hold the thermostats. Currently they are 50, 60, 80 so I know this thing can put out the heat. Probably too much. So I salvaged a thermostat from another thing (below) which keeps the temperature inside 42c. It has two more thermostat locations that I may still use for a different temp.

My notes, not the greatest. To explain a little, Maintain temp is the dry bulb temperature. With this design, so far, I can only choose a temp, which is 42c thermostat. I can then switch to a different temp using another thermostat with a press of a button on front. I tried a higher temp in my cooler and didn't like the results so I am starting off with the same temps as I've been running with. I don't want to go any lower, but may try to increase temperature when I refine in the future. Maybe lower for some type of final dry mode with the door cocked open.
The wet bulb temperature is the part that I hope is a good design. That's the way to control the rh. I lucked out finding the below item or at least remembering that it might work for something in the future. Which is why I keep things. I don't remember, but I need to find out again, the wet bulb temperature needed for 80% rh when the dry bulb temp is 42. I think it has to do with the psycometric chart, but I need the zoomed in version of chart at the temps around 42 and humidity levels around 70 -90 %. It was somewhere to do with tobacco curing. This is the thermostat that needs to be calibrated so I can have the proper rh level inside to make the magic happen. Dropping the rh after a couple of days is to finish the cure for storage.

Here's the thing that just happen to work for something. Its a heated water pump for a heating pad. The motor and pump are gone, but the important stuff is there. This thing monitors and regulates the heater for a temperature up to 42 degrees. I know that this thing will put out alot higher temps by adjusting the little blue square with the white circle.

The top view. Left side grey circle is the heater. Not going to use at the time. The missing thing in the center is where the motor was for the pump. The brass block on the right is where one of the over temperature thermostats is located. Thats the one I'm using to maintain the chamber temperature to 42c. The other thermostat is located top center, just haven't got to it.

This is the board. It seems to be a match since it uses line voltage and switches line voltage which will control my humidity maker. The tube and cotton are for the wet bulb.

Thats as far as I got. Still need small air intake fan , duct for exhaust that will house the wet bulb. Still thinking about a small ultrasonic humidier for traveling that would be turned on by the wet bulb thermostat board, duct for the air intake
