Cooler too humid?

[perma]

Testing out a warrantied cooler I just purchased. Drifts in 110. I’m using a total of 9 soda bottles and 10 gallon milk jugs. Over 5 days, the ice on the top soda bottles melts off. I bought a temperature sensor and found out the humidity is awfully high. All my drain plugs and breather valves are tight. For reference, it’s more humid in the cooler than it is in my basement.

Anyone have any ideas if this is acceptable? If not, I was thinking of using a loose desiccant bag when I put the meat in it.

It will be 100% relative humidity in there with the meat unless you have enough dessicant to make jerky.

And its more humid than your basement because its colder.

How long it holds ice is whats important.
