Thought all my problems were solved with the Goldenrod......(GUN SAFE QUESTION)

[ShooterInPA1]

I just installed an electrical unit in my safe and added a Goldenrod (Liberty Safes version of it). Up until this point, I had been using a Remington electric rechargeable pack, along with about 3 Silica Gel boxes which must be recharged in the oven. I wanted a more reliable way of controlling humidity in the safe, along with a way to control it without always running the oven. That gets old real quick.

After installation of the Goldenrod, I am now reading on various forums (and called the company and they confirmed) that they would be careful about using it near wooden stocked guns as it can dry them out and damage them. To anyone using Goldenrod's, do you have wooden stocked guns in your safe? For now, I put one of mine with a wooden stock in a Bore Stores pouch.

I have a digital hygrometer in the safe and will check it in a day or so.

Meh grab some computer hard drive batteries and mount that puppy on metal away from any wood stocks up higher.

You want to mount the rod as low as possible as heat rises. I have it on the floor of the safe.

LOL, I think you mean magnets... cuz unless the OP has AR's that are battery powered, I don't think what you are suggesting will work quite as intended, LOL! =D

Lol. Yea. Magnets. Sorry. Was talking to someone about batteries while typing.

Heat does rise. But wet air is lighter than dry air and also rises. What are we to do?

Ah... I may be podunk stupid, but wet air is lighter than dry air? Whut?

If I remember correctly, the goldenrod only raises the temp in the safe 5 deg or so. I keep guns w/wooden stocks in the safe and don't worry about them. The only thing I do is to keep a gun w/a synthetic stock next to it, so I don't worry about the gun getting pushed up against the heater.

Yes, wet air is lighter than dry air.
