wally world cooler

[slyder]

I was in Walmart last night and found some red 48 quart coolers (igloo) for $18. They have the slots for shelves and are pretty much square except for a slight taper from top to bottom on 2 sides. They had a Igloo 120 quart for $52 but its smooth inside and all the corners are rounded off alot. For $18 hell i could make 3 coolerdors. I know the norm is to go big but how many people have went the 48 quart route?

I use an Igloo cooler for my coolerdor. Don't remember what size it is ( 17L x 9 1/2W x 10D inside). Small footprint. Holds about 15 bundles of smokes. Use 6 oz of beads. Keeps consistent humidity; seals well.

I have a 48 qt Rubbermaid for my boxes and bundles. But alas it is full to the brim.

I have 2 of the 48 quart coolers that I bought from WallyWorld last year for 415.75+tax. They work great.

I went ahead and grabbed one of these today. Went to Menards and picked up some wire shelfing and some mahogany to fill in the spaces in the door. When Im done ill post some pics. Its not gonna be anything spectacular. How many ounces of beads am I gonna need for a cooler this size?

I much prefer 48s.
They stack nicely in the closet
and are easier to move around.
It's easier to organize your stash.
If you ever had a beetle or mold problem,
less of your stash would be exposed.
As they fill up, just add another.

My earlier post should have been $15.75+tax. Missed the shift key the first time.

Excellent comment, ring gauge to you my friend...

I'm using an old 68 qt. Coleman, I bought cedar trays from Cheaphumidors.com, and I now have 4 trays in there for singles, and room for a bunch of boxes. Humidity is via 1 lb. Heartfelt 65% beads and Oust fan.

I buy mostly 5 packs and samplers, so I really need to add another tray or two. They'll fit.

Here is my finished Coolerdor. I used plain old mahogany on the door. Cheap wire shelving from Menards and Heartfelt beads. The hygro is in a bag being checked right now but i got it from wally. Gonna live it set a few days then Im gonna fill her up.

Starting to look like something now. Heartfelt beads keeping it right between 65%-68% and its in the basement store room so the temp is a steady 65 degrees! Put my old Oust fan in it for shiza giggles. Right now ive got loaded with

Brocatus torpedos
5 vegas classic coronas
La Differencia Cubana torpedos
5 vegas mega sampler (classic, miami, series A, Golds) in a Olvia box
Onyx Reserve Mini belicosco

Ive got some Sol Cubano Series B torpedos on the way. Cbid is kickin my wallets butt!!
