I want to make a wooden curing box, any ideas ?

I want to make a wooden curing box, kinda like a cigar box. So I'm looking for suggestions and ideas on the details like the best wood species and so forth. I know cedar is used with cigar boxes, but I'm worried that the cedar smell may transfer into my bud.

hey vdubb, I'm not related to this website in any way and never ordered from them, but in Amsterdam I've seen similar boxes being sold for this purpose. I have one myself but with a way cooler layout hope it helps >>> Link <<<

just use extra large mason or canning jars

you can get a 6pk or 12pk at you local super market for pretty cheap and each one will hold around 30-50 grams depending on your product of course.

Not to mention they are air tight, will lock in the smell and keep your nugs super fresh. Keep them in a dark dry place, Air them out for a few hours a day, after about a week they should be done, and there is no harm if you have to cure for a second week. Store in the same jars,

I agree that time tested mason jars are the way to go. However, I'm really intrigued by the idea of a "humidor" for curing and storing bud long term. Whish there was more info available on it to be honest...

I use a cigar box for some of my smaller nuggs...works great too!

Do you cure in a humidor?

I'm just finishing up a drying room, for now it's just dry wall. I considered finishing it in cedar, but the expense was too much for now. I've been using mason jars and larger. I have a nice larger cigar box I could use, but the room just built has a mini-split with the other unit in my flower room. As of for now I'll have superior control in there than the cigar box, but perhaps after a nice cure, I'll see if it holds any differently in the cigar box as opposed to the jar.

Gotcha . I was just planning on using my flower space to dry because it,s obviously climate controlled ,then go to mason jars . There are some people using the Idea of an tobbacco ferminting chamber to dry buds . just minus the high heat they use .

I don't know about tobacco fermenting, but am intrigued. I'll have to look into it. My room is perpetual so no good for drying/curing. A vacant tent would be ideal and even was considering it myself.

I'm wanting to build a dry box , I'm thinking of using a old kitchen cabinet . I see them for free on clist on the time .

All the input has been good. I'll probably build one anyways, since I enjoy woodworking. To be honest I just always wanted a Humidor, so this is the perfect excuse to make one ........ : )

why not just use a cigar box?

You could , as stated in the posts you didn't read he likes to work with wood and wants to craft his own .

Yup, woodworking is another one of my hobbies as well as growing. So that's why I'm not buying a cigar box. Building things is like growing your own bud, there's just way more satisfaction. Shit, I even brew my own beer, because it's always the best........
