I was able to get the interior temp down to 36 degrees in about 35-40 minutes.

Looks awsome. How far from Kerrville are you? How long did it take you to build? What would you charge to build one?

I am in Fredericksburg. I built it in a weekend after I had purchased all the parts and with current material prices to build one from scratch would run around $3500. That would be a turn key project with controller, AC unit, and paint.

I like that. I don't have a need for one but it looks like you did a great job.

asartor,
that's the great thing about this cooler, it can multi task. After my brothers wedding we had 2 kegs left that stayed in the cooler for two months until our friends in the service came home from Iraq. That was gooooood beer.

You can get a Ranco Digital Temp controller for less than $100 and it will do the same thing as the cool-bot.
 Thanks Mike

Do you have personal experience with the Ranco? I have heard it is inefficient. Just wondering.

No I don't. There are a lot of vids on YouTube where folks are raving about them so I thought I'd throw it out as an option. If the work like they say a person can save some money.
I see them on ebay for $45 shipped so it's not a great loss if it doesn't perform to suit you. I've spent more and got less.

Excellent, thanks for the info. It's worth $50 to try and potentially save $250. Besides, if it's on YouTube it must be [url=truehttp://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/images/icons/default/wink.gif][url=truehttp://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/images/icons/default/wink.gif][url=truehttp://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/images/icons/default/wink.gif]truehttp://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/images/icons/default/wink.gif[/url][/url][/url]
