[QUOTE="casper, post: 135227, member: 562"] TIP! buy 1 size bigger than you'll think you'll need because iceboxes are most efficient when they contain around a 1/3 of their capacity as ice and that means less beer will fit in 8.( I make icebricks out of fruit juice bottles and I've well over 10L permanently in my freezers ready to go. i place the icebricks around the sides or at the ends of the icebox depending which size box i'm using (i have four Evakool, Techni Ice and Waeco - 1x40L and 1x60L and 2 lunchbox size) then pack the goodies in the middle and cover the whole lot with a soggy bath towel and close the lid. Keep the towel wet and the box out of the sun and you'll have cold beers etc for over a week with the bigger box. Pre chilling the box first with a bag of commercial ice can give you a day or two more. Evakool, Techni Ice and Waeco and probably the Engel too contain commercial freezer / refrigerator insulation - do not waste your time with Esky / Coleman / Chilly Bin types..
