I'm determined to keep my melted block ice in a container that keeps it clean enough to drink rather than let it become sludge at the bottom of the cooler. ePlyans say zip lock bags are not well sealed, so I want something better for my ice/water.
Those who use block ice from varous vendors, do you feel there's a standard size for block ice? (Google didn't help much.)
Or better yet, does anybody know the dimensions of Arctica's block ice?

Just get crushed ice. It will fit whatever container you choose.
The round igloo coolers with a sealed screw top lid are great for cold beverages.
BTW, it's an 8 lb block and can be shaped to fit whatever you want with an icepick.
And be sure to visit the ice carving contest at Center Camp Wednesday from 2:00 to 2:05 PM.
Don't bore your friends with all your troubles. Tell your enemies instead, for they will delight in hearing about them.

Not yet. I put on some socks last week and am too lazy to change my avatar. I'll be out there Saturday and I'll post my findings.dragonpilot wrote:Hey! Your avatar says you've gone to Burning Man...does this mean there intertube on the playa?Token wrote:Rectangular object, one by four by nine ...

Re: Dimensions of block ice?
According to Crystal Ice and Oil, back in 2014, the block ice they sold to Arctica is approximately 6in X 6 in. X10 in.
I don't know if they still supply BM's ice, nor do I know if the size might have changed.
