Stunning job as usual. I am glad you didn't paint it all, the highlights are just perfect!

Re: Wannigan/Cooler Build
Ice retention test. The cooler was precooled in the freezer for 5 hours. I added a total of twenty pounds of cubed ice, a six pack of chilled adult beverages and a six pack of chilled ginger ales (placed on top of the adult beverages to try to keep the ginger ale from freezing solid. There's still a lot of air space in the cooler, which is suboptimal for this kind of test.
At 2:45 PM on 8/12 I closed the cooler. Ambient air temperature was 81 degrees.
The freezer thermometer in the picture was reading 43 degrees when I closed the lid, which I assume is the result of it sitting in the the cooler with the lid open. I will be interested to see what it is reading when I open it.
The cooler is mostly in the shade.

Re: Wannigan/Cooler Build
Well just two hours into the "test" at 4:45 PM my son decided he "needed" a ginger ale (and I decided to have a beer as long as we were opening the cooler). Temperature when the lid was removed was down to 37 degrees on the thermometer.

Re: Wannigan/Cooler Build
My son opened the cooler a second time last nite to retrieve another ginger ale but he didn't tell me and I didn't get a temperature read.
However, this morning at 7 AM when I opened the cooler, the thermometer read 30 degrees. Overnight temps hit a low of 68 degrees.

That is astounding! Maybe you could go work for Igloo, you could teach them a thing or two ....

Re: Wannigan/Cooler Build
So far, so good. But don’t count your ice before it melts. Or something like that. I should have filled the cooler with more stuff (less air space). But if it does ok under these conditions, it should perform quite well when I need it to.rjent wrote:That is astounding! Maybe you could go work for Igloo, you could teach them a thing or two ....

Re: Wannigan/Cooler Build
Well at 7 PM temperature in the cooler had crept up to 32 degrees. Ambient air high temperature in my area was 83 degrees.

Re: Wannigan/Cooler Build
I be curious what 0700 8/14 will read. Will it again drop over night?
BTW opening it drives the air temp up.(that not fully filled thingie).
