    Question Wine Cooler incubator questions

    WooHoo! Lookie what I got today for $62 DELIVERED!








    Finally found one. Now I don't have to tear up a working mini fridge and saw out a hole in the door just to see in.

    Here's my question: How did the rest of you with one of these fix the shelving dilemma?? I was going to get one with glass shelves, but they brought the other one instead...but that's ok since the one with the good shelves had a bad fan motor.

    So, did you just pick up some shelves somewhere? Did you use another material and make new shelves yourself? Instruct me, oh incubator masters! Please...

    Remember when you add shelves you still want to be able to let the air circulate freely inside.

    Re: Wine Cooler incubator questions

    try some of this ceiling grate...you can find it at Home Depot/Lowes



    since it's plastic, you can easily trim it down to fit.

    Re: Wine Cooler incubator questions

    Thanks, all And of course I'll be taking step pics...just got done doing that for my rack.

    I was thinking of the coated wire closet shelving...but if the 'egg crate' stuff is stiff and strong enough to act as shelves then I'll get that instead since I need some for egg boxes anyway.

    Anyone else have good shelf options for this? Dimensions are 22.5"dx24"wx33.5"h outside and 17"dx18"wx27"h inside.

    I would use the coated wire shelving you mentioned. It will hold up longer than plastic egg crate and it should fit in the same slots the shelves were made to go into. Measure the depth of the fridge and try to match up something, big box stores will cut it for you but with the right tools you can do it yourself.

    Re: Wine Cooler incubator questions

    I removed the factory shelves (they were solid glass panes.) I then took some metal grate shelves from a different fridge, and cut them to fit. (well my husband cut them.. I am bad with metal cutters that shoot out flying sparks!) You could get fancier and buy shelves brand-new, but we had some lying around and it is working nicely.
