[ausev] !12-Volt Ice cooling with a Icester by Swampy.

[Chris Cooper]

Nor enough surface area; would not provide enough cooling ability. Perhaps that and cubed ice?

How about using half gallon or gallon clean plastic milk jugs filled almost 
full and frozen and lay them in the bottom of the cooler.Easy to reuse and 
the gallon jugs stay frozen along time. I use them to augment my ice supply 
on camping trips or to keep stuff cold in the Airstream between plugins of 
the refrigerator. Witt
