I'm looking at pulling the trigger on a coolidor as a temporary fix until we are in the new house.(Once there it is Aristocrat time!!!)

Anyone have any thoughts on this cooler?

Anyone own one and have input on it?

I don't own a coolidor but there's tons of stuff on that specific cooler on the site infact I was reading some thing about it this morning but in general people like it or love it.

I have the 100 qt. hard side, non-marine. Here are the details:

I bought it before Thanksgiving for $54.95

If the marine one you are looking at has straight side inside, then I would expect it to work just like mine. I have 1.5 lbs of 65% beads in there plus an Oust fan for circulation. Works great for me.

The price for that marine one is killer.

I own that one and its been great. Holds humidity well--no problems at all. Awesome amount of storage for the price. Its a toboggan for the slope...

Whaddya got for beads or humidification?
I was thinking 2 lbs. of 65% Heartfelt beads.

Oh... and an Oust fan.

Most coolers are very tight and hold humidity well, so I think beads would do just fine. :tu

 

[Finfan]

I use 1 lb of 65% beads and two oust fans.

 

[BeagleOne]

It is a good idea. I bought the 150 qt. Igloo at Sam's Club (paid $65) and have 1 lbs. of 65% beads in there. I use unhinged boxes as trays I got from my local B&M for the singles I've purchase and just put the regular boxes in as I purchase them. I don't use the fans yet, since I go into the cooler fairly regular (daily).

I have that exact cooler, it's great... Has a perfect seal... I use 1lb of 65% beads, 2 jars of gel and 4-5 drymistat tubes... I just ordered the Oasis XL Plus for active humidication...

My thoughts are "get two"

 

[smokinpoke]

Exactly how many bodies can you get in that thing?

I have the 165 QT Igloo. Picked it up at Costco for $75 (they don't usually have them this time of year). One of the advantages of this particular cooler is the trap door in the lid that allows for easy access without opening the entire lid. :tu

PS I cover it with a cool looking blanket and stuff in the quest room.

that thing is huge... I must have one

 

[Troop_lee]

My 120 Qt Igloo thoughts, are thats its a great idea!!

 

[St. Lou Stu]

My thoughts are "get two"

I like the way you think. Don't think that didn't cross my mind. It went something like my cbid logic..."At this price, I should be able to get two!"

Exactly how many bodies can you get in that thing?

I'll let ya know. Fully assembled or dismembered?

I'm stopping by tomorrow to get one. only one.

I have a 120qt cooler that has a trap door in the lid and I love it! I keep my trays under the trap door and I can easily quickly access the smokes on the top tray. I also Velcroed a digital hygrometer to the underside of the trap door so I can easily check the RH without opening the lid.

The good thing about a marine cooler is the lid has the latches on them. It's just a little something more to ensure a good seal. I use 2 pounds of 70% beads in mine, and I only have to recharge the beads about 4 months. I also use the wireless temp/hygrometer Cigarmony sells.

Yeah, that cooler for sure -- I love my Igloo 120 Qt.

In fact, I love it so much, I stood it up on end, lined it with Sp. Cedar, put shelving in it, and am buying another one to keep my 1st one company!

Pics of it can be found in the "Gee, thanks Club Stogie" thread.

Kill me now. :ss:ss
