First timer here. Super excited for our for Roo. Quick cooler question. Is it worth getting dry ice for the cooler? Does it make everything else taste funny?
It would freeze it solid, however if you use it to keep bottles of water frozen you can transfer them to your beer cooler where it will keep them cold.
Nice idea. Looks like I'll be going with three coolers then. One for the dry ice/frozen water, one for the drinks, and one for other stuff. Much appreciated!

Wait. If you put other things closest to the dry ice (eg. dry ice wrapped in paper at the bottom, then layer of cardboard, then two layers of water bottles), the beer and other items closer to the top won't be frozen.

We use dry ice at my work. Never handle with bare hands!!! Do not breath, it disapates oxogen. It will not make your food or drinks taste different. Best way to do your cooler put dry ice on the bottom, then frozen bottled water on top of ice, then place your drinks or food on top of that. If there is room you can top it with more frozen bottled water. Best think is the dry ice should last all weekend in your cooler keeping everything nice and chilly. Also if you put any food such as ice pops on dry ice, DO NOT put them in your mouth right out of the cooler!!!

for the record....it did make my oranges taste different. like they were carbonated or something. Not bad...but different. Btw, cold oranges on a hot day are delicious!
If your cooler is well sealed dry ice can and will mildly carbonate unsealed fruit ect. When using it in a plastic cooler do not put dry ice directly on the plastic in the bottom put cardboard or something below or you risk busting your cooler.

And always remember... Don't handle dry ice with bare hands!
Also do not sleep in a car with a cooler that also contains dry ice. Drowning in the middle of a 800 acre land locked farm will just make you look silly.
I bought 20lbs of pellets for two coolers. I was hoping for block, but it was all I could find. $2.00/lb means I'll save money over the weekend by not buying $10 bags of ice that are half melted by the time I reach camp. Anything is an improvement over last year's cooler situation.

We had 3 10# blocks in the bottom of a 75qt Coleman 5-day cooler and still had frozen bottled water on Sunday. (Got the ice on Wednesday afternoon) Will always use it in my bottled water cooler from now on.
