Notice anything different in this picture?
Yep, I drilled holes in the Envirocycle Original model. I asked about it a while ago, and their advice was not to drill holes, but I begged to differ. Then when the Mini version came out (the tan one), it had an awesome air vent on both sides of the drum. Ah-ha!
What’s wrong with more airflow? Beats me. Yes, it’s nice to keep the heat in and let things cook, but it can’t cook without gas (air). So there you have it, sink or swim. I just filled both drums with brand new materials, as I just cleaned out my refrigerator and found all kinds of old artifacts just begging to be composted…stuff that expired years ago! Whoops.
