Well once you have shaved ice in a big pile it is a inside to out freeze but in a snoball or any smaller quantity it is a outside in freeze

Could be, he had a 2,000 quart ice box custom built loaded down with 2 blocks of ice it was still lighter than a 100 qt Yeti empty.

[SIZE=3]It makes me laugh reading all these comments when it comes to an ice chest. If somebody has one they are a “gimmick fisherman” and they keep them in the back of their truck to keep their capri suns cold. I keep a Yeti chained in the back of my truck. I have not taken it out of there minus putting it in a boat to go fishing. They are durable and I have had mine for over 4 years with only changing a drain plug. Mine has fallen out of the truck, been sat on in dove fields, hauled fish all over the state and fed more dogs ice while training without anything breaking and I’m ok with that. If you expect it to make ice or hold ice for weeks at a time they are not magic. If you want a durable ice chest that works slightly better than an igloo at keeping ice but holds up without breaking lids, handles, cracking, hinges and you don’t mind paying for it, then get one. I think the majority of people that have one don’t think that they are the next helicopter lure and all the people that I know use them for a specific purpose. [/SIZE]

Very well said. I bought mine for durability, not to "keep ice longer." Ice is cheap. I was tired of replacing hinges, handles, and latches every damn year!! Buy a yeti and you have an ice chest for life.

If you put a styrofoam box inside a yeti it would probably make it's own ice...

Default Update on the "ICE" thread lol
Contacted K2 and they are going to replace my 60 cryo with a summit 70. Gasket on the chest isnt keeping air out of the chest. Hopefully now I can keep some "good ice" longer LMAO.

I'm leaving Thursday morning on a trip. Should I already be "precooling" my chest?

I just don't know how much lead time cooling it needs to be properly ice sufficient.


HELP!!!!!
