Actually Practical sailor beat me to it. They used a much simpler melt test
but their results were the same as mine. Just shows you can do the same
thing with $10 worth of ice as I did with $10 worth of ice AND $150 worth of
electronics. :-)

They are fairly inexpensive data loggers but probably overkill unless you

document tests of ice chests (the $60 Coleman Xtreme beat the heck out of
the $150 Iceytek and equaled the $400 Frigid Rigid) but once I start
tuning
Rutu it will come in real handy.

I hope you'll publish what you find!
