It seems to me that if your icebox interior gets warm you might need more insulation- 3" is what is generally recommended- with no voids- but 4" is probably close to ideal.
The blower suggestion is also valid, and reflective insulation should also help. -Merrill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of A. F.

Any suggestions for insulation/cooling/etc.? In preparation for an ice box insulation project (which is not yet done) I bought a roll of Reflectix insulation, based on the recommendations I read some time ago, most likely in the C&C list. > There's not a lot of room between the engine and the wall. It is thin (about 1/4") and coated with silvery material on both sides. It should take care of any radiant heat problem. Can't remember where I got it, though.
