Michael, actually I’m clear back here in Illinois. When you have read about the UMAi Dry bags being fine for home refrigerators where the doors get opened and closed the difference is the exchange of air is inside the home and not 50% humid air. That exchange occurs more rapidly in your upright frigerator so that does tax your compressor to extract that new round of humidity. Then like I said those 4 large subprimals you have are also giving up a good amount of water thus keeping your recorded humidity at a higher level than your kitchen refrigerator’s typical contents. Upshot is as long as your unit is working properly you should be fine, but do keep an eye open for any signs of mold due to excess humidity. And just to keep from tearing the bags, or disturbing the bonds try to inspect without removing and handling the meat. Keep us posted! Ron
