So been kicking around the idea on making a cedar "Cowboy Ice chest" using either a pre-made igloo type cooler or rigid insulation board lined with FRP/Vinyl. Any suggestions on which way to go? I've seen some examples on here with a pre-made cooler and some with stainless, there were some on Craiglists where they used foam board/FRP and they seem to be pretty well constructed.
Of course the igloo type would probably keep the ice around the longest, but in reality is it really necessary since they will be primarily used for entertaining guest for a cookout or pool party just for a afternoon/evening. I'm also keeping in mind the Texas heat during the summer! Just looking for an economical/profitable approach just in case people I know are interested in purchasing one, I could always use the extra "tool money".
