    I guess the real question is whether or not you want to be labeled as a scumbag on an online grilling forum. 
    This is the cooler you recommend?


    It would appear that She has crabs.  Also not sure why you posted a high dollar portable toilet?

    I have a Ford cooler. I work on it every day, it is old, and I just do not have the heart to get rid of it. It is the Eddie Bauer edition. Keeps food cold in the winter, and hot in the summer. It holds a lot, and is much larger than Matt's Duke Chevy cooler he posted earlier.

    I hear the styrofoam coolers at the grocery store that are on top of the freezer/refrigerated section are the best ones money can buy.

    I hear that a cardboard box filled with ice is superior in all regards.

    Thanks again everyone for all the helpful information.  I think I'm going with this Yeti.  I like the oversized handle and the instructions sticker on the front.  Thanks again and thank you  Mr. Griffin.

    @bgebrent  There's been what seems like a huge increase in coolers, Blackstone, and Anova threads.  

    I think they're just filling the gap left by the political threads.  Maybe it's time for a "Trump's doing great" thread?

    Hell, I could manage a Hilliary 2020 thread better than these lame cooler threads.  They're insulated plastic boxes mostly that all perform respectably. But again, I don't have to read them right?  At least SV and BS posts tend to involve cooking.  Anyways.  Making America Great Again would be better served up Friday evening I believe.

    No doubt about it!  However, it can be greater.

    We have a Pelican and Yeti...not much different in keeping items cold and ice lasts about the same.  Difference Yetti has 5yr warranty and Pelican a lifetime.  My Pelican work cases retired with me after 27 years of service and look none the worse for wear, except the one I backed over,,,the plastic is a little rough.  No damage done to the 5 grand Fluke housed inside.

    Ughh isn't an understatement.  I'd hoped to do some good.  Guess it's a snail darter outcome.  Much like our libtard brothers.

    So a few months back I customized the finish on my cup (my daughter has the same one.)

    Today I see a cup that has a similar finish to mine on yeti's splash page.  Maybe a lawsuit is in order...

    Rtic is about to have to redesign everything from the yeti lawsuit. I bought up some more on sale
