150-qt coolidor build research

[Lockspur]

Sville, I'm planning on using it upright like a cabinet. I've already been drooling over GolfNut's shelves/drawers which is what prompted the idea. He makes them for both the Coleman and Igloo.

The sporting goods place by me has the Igloo in green/tan...152-qt for $79. I may go with that one and make my own latches.

Scotty.... I think making your own latches (or adapting some from a hardware store) is a good plan. From years of using coolers with the Boy Scouts, I can readily say that the first thing to break is always the cheap latches they put on he coolers!!! We look forward to some photos when you get it up and running. Be sure to post pics when it's empty so we can get a good look at the upgrades!!!

Here's part of the reason for the project:

Humi 1 is almost full with singles

Humi 2 is almost full and would like to keep it for infused sticks. It's smaller, so I don't mind sacrificing it.

15-qt cooler is just being used for staging. Good thing I had a case of Bovedas and Ziplocs. HF beads are enroute...along with several mazo's of smokes.

And so it begins

Igloo makes replacement latches with metal hinges. I plan to replace with these the next time the crap out. http://amzn.to/Uxv2h3

Nice! (ordering)

I wiped down the inside with rubbing alcohol and then distilled water. The boxes are empty and being used to get the cedar smell going. Beads should be here today, then I will have to wait a couple of paychecks to get the shelves/drawers.

Aren't you going to at least ask some questions like:

• Does sea salt work as good as kosher?
• Should it look like a Slurpie or a Slushee?
• Should I wait for the numbers to stop changing or would an hour be enough?

You're making this too easy!

  I used bath salts. Just as good and they smell of lavender.

  Frappaccino

  Then how the hell am I going to get my lottery numbers???
