I think they are being marketed as COOL JUGS, as at Oshkosh a few years ago
one of the salesman had a teeshirt with "nice set of jugs" in text on it
and
showing a set of the cooling jackets or "JUGS" over a cylinder.
Trust the Yanks to come up with a product name like that, like the
restaurant nearby which was HOOTERS and it had nothing to do with horns on
cars.
I'm not convinced this product has got past the attention-grabbing name
stage.
I think it's a great idea and I've been monitoring the site for a while but
there's no sign of much action. It now says directly that any conversion
will be experimental but they were originally working towards an STC.
Anybody know better?
