Quick cooler question

[OtterAKL4987]

I just set up a 48 QT cooler today (I know, go bigger but I'm restraining myself to a 48 for monetary reasons). I couldn't find an Oust fan to save my life. Do I need one for only a 48 QT and if so, where did you find them? Thanks.

I have a 150 qt cooler, without a fan. You should be ok without one.

Have you tried Walmart for the fans? That's the only place I can think of.

I think you'll be ok.

Yep, tried Wal-Mart and Target, but I think I will stop the search. Thanks for the advice.

I agree bro, you don't really need them.

they're difficult to find, someone mentioned that they had been discontinued by oust, but I don't know how true this is

I think i have the same 48 qt. is it red?


I'm debating if i want to flip it vertical and make some shelves to put in it....there's no room for anything w/ it laying flat!


edit: oh and I have a gladware thing of heartfelt beads in there, w/ a radioshack thermometer/hygrometer

I mentioned that and don't even know how true it is. Just what I was told.

I had a helluva time finding one and went to a TON of different locations. Some had the bin tags still up that indicated a 'Sale' price and said discontinued. The place that I finally found them had them on a 'Close-Out Sale' too. The clerk said that they had been discontinued.

I have a hard time imagining that they'd just axe them.

Otter, I just noticed that you're in Columbia. Ya got Dierbergs out there?
That's where I finally found them.

I don't out here (at Mizzou) but there is one right by my house in Chesterfield. Have to check it out next time I'm home. Thanks.

I was able to buy an oust fan at my local wallgreens recently. I plan to look for another when I'm there again.

I recommend them even for small coolers as it helps eliminate dead zones.

The one I have is like a forest green from Wal-Mart. I have the beads and the Radioshack hyrgometer/thermometer similar to you. FWIW, I have no interest in trying to make shelves. I can get empty boxes from the B&M that are wood (El Rico Habano) for $1, so that works for me.

Sometimes Walgreens has them cheap on sale. Just a heads up.

[OtterAKL4987]

Well, after exhaustive search round two I have some good news and some bad news.

Good news: I found one! Got it at Gerbes (local grocery store). for just under $8.

Bad news: They ARE definitely discontinued by Oust. Big bummer there.

Good luck to the rest of you!

I saw someone post that a while back and I bookmarked it. I suggest everyone else do the same.
