I live in Alabama.
If you've ever been here , you know the humidity here is horrible.
I needed a temperature ( and humidity ) controlled environment to store my T/C Contender barrels in.
I got the idea of using a large Igloo cooler.
I secured a porcelain light socket in the bottom of the cooler and put in a 15 watt incandescent bulb.
I ran the line voltage through a light dimmer.
The dimmer allows me to get the correct amount of heat and extend the life of the bulb at the same time.
I've been doing this for about 2 years now.
Not a tiny spec. of rust on any of my barrels.
On any day of the year, when you reach in to pick up a barrel it is barely warm to the touch.
A side note - - If you're looking for a way to store bullet moulds that are prone to rusting, I highly recommend this system ! !
