The remainder of 3 medium sizes blocks of ice (12 lbs each ~ 2 gallons*) after 6 hours of cooling. Two blocks can sit on the elevated Teak ice tray. The tray was made to house crushed/bag ice but can work for the Block ice too. Basically the more ice the better! In "supercharged" mode I used 2 blocks and 20 pounds of bag ice to achieve the lowest air flow temp of -33 degrees lower than ambient cabin temp.

* the 12lb Block Ice was home made using a new plastic bathroom trash can as the form and freezing it in my garage chest freezer.

Yup we use those in Hawaii. Wonderful idea less cost and can multipurpose.

Try freezing 2 liter bottles mostly full so they don’t burst. When they melt you have drinking water…

I have an ice maker so ice is never an issue but solid chunks seem to last longer in there

I made blocks using Rubbermaid containers and silicone molds in my freezer. Now I have an industrial ice maker…500# a day
