Thread: Salt ice

Thread resurrection. Just back from a 48 hour trip in warm conditions and less than a cupful of salt ice melted. Pre-cooling certainly seems to make a difference. I loaded the chilly bin the night before the trip with ice blocks, then removed them and loaded up with salt ice and food just before the trip.

dry ice works a treat, it can refreeze the entire bin solid again as the salt ice drips over it so that may be of assistance to you. I had mine sitting in the sun for 4 days and and the beers were still frozen solid, they were room temp when I put them in there.
