So today was the first HOT day here in NEPA. I come home from a few hours of playing baseball with guys I work with and the temp in my wineador (it's not thermoelectric) is 75 DEGREES!!! I after some thinking on what I should do, I end up moving it down to my basement.

What are some other solutions some brothers use to keep the temps down in their humidors in the hot summer months?

You can try putting a towel over it and some frozen bottles of water under the towel next to it. You are going to have to play with amounts to get the right temp. In brewing beer at home this is called a swamp cooler. I wouldn't put it inside the wineador since that would mess with the humidity and make it too cool. I've used this method with a partially submerged bucket to get the temp under 60 degrees. Have to keep rotating the bottles. Good temporary solution if you are desperate.
