3 Steps to Maximize Ice Chest Performance

In this guide you will learn three basic steps that will help you get the most out of your high performance ice chest. By following these simple steps, you are guaranteed to get the best performance from your ice chest:

 

The thick insullation of a high performance ice chest allows it to preserve the temperature of its contents. Therefore, if you start out with a warm ice chest the ice will burn up faster in an attempt to cool down the insullation. In order to get the best performance from your ice chest, keep it in a cool place before using or fill it with ice prior to your trip. When you begin loading the ice chest, make sure the items you are loading are pre-chilled so your ice isn't burned up trying to cool down the warm items.

 

If you minimize the amount of air space in your ice chest, you will allow ice to burn off slower. If space is left open, ice is burned off more quickly in an attempt to cool down the empty space. Try to fill the empty space with additional ice or insulation like towels.

 

If you need your ice chest to last for an extended period of time, try to minimize the number of times you open the chest. The more you open the ice chest, the faster ice will be burned off. If you are planning an extended trip or long weekend at the tailgate, consider taking two ice chests...use the first ice chest during the beginning of your trip and leave the second chest sealed until you need to use it.
