I need to extend the railings on my porch. All iron 1932 style. Anyone know anyone in Charlotte area? I need to spread out my work load, so I can work more on the 40.
See my plan???
Thanks for any help.

Read a few reviews and tests and Heather bought a pair of Ozarks for $9 each. 7 tray type ice cubes for 30 oz, did not pre cool. Filled it at 8:30 AM, refilled in the afternoon with original ice. There was still ice in it when I went too bed at 10PM. If I lose it or somehow break it, just go to Wal Mart and get another. No crying that I lost my overpriced tumbler. Three for less than the price of one.

My coworker has a friend who blacksmiths and does this. When he gets into the office, I'll get his info.

This video will interest you. They compare the Yeti brand along with a knock off, and the results are damn amazing. It appears that the clear lid is the only thing really different about the two.

And they now have a cooler to undercut the Yeti.
Ozark Trail 52-Quart High-Performance Cooler, Grey - Walmart.com
 
wonder how that will hold up in tests


main difference I believe is where they are both made that adds to the price.


I don't mind spending $20 more on a tumbler if it is US made vs China made because it is only $20.

If that cooler is farily comparable to the Yeti that is a $300 price difference and is a hard pill to swallow no matter where it is made.

Just my 2 cents.
 
Yeti has outstanding marketing.

The yeti / any cooler trick is to keep in the house for 3 days before you leave AND add three inches of dry ice in the bottom. At the 36 hour race (Yeti outside from 3 pm on Thursday to 3 pm on Sunday, mostly in the sun), the yeti with dry ice was freezing water bottles solid two days into the race. Craziest thing I have ever seen. Boat captains use this trick all the time. We dumped out a ton of ice on Sunday.
 
Dry ice isn't really a good way to measure a coolers performance. Dry Ice in my beat up coleman extreme (that wouldn't keep ice for more than a day) would freeze beers I threw in there 4 days into my annual labor day trip.
 
I agree. I am saying for using the cooler long term in the camp site and you have access to dry ice.
 
I too am a fan of US made but I feel that Yeti's products are overpriced. They are marketing genius for sure. I for one will not spend three times the price for an item just because it is made in the US, even if it is only $20 more. We have a small Yeti cooler that we won at the raffle at last years Meet & Greet. I would certainly not have paid Yeti's price. We rarely use it as it is really small and even when coupled with another mid sized cooler will not even handle 3 days of beverages. It's good for a day trip of drinks.
 
The biggest misconception about all the hi-perf coolers is that if you open it every 20 minutes to grab a Coors, it doesn't really do any better than a Coleman. Where they excel is in long term storage. You'd be better served putting dry ice in a Yeti to keep bags of regular ice frozen, then transfer the bags of ice to your $30 Igloo on wheels as needed.
 
FWIW I buy dry ice at harris teeter
 
Also made in the USA. :D
