Around here we can only buy dry ice in chunks of 25 pounds or bigger...
I wish we had vending machines like yours, wet ice is a mess on a race
weekend. I usually go through 6-10 bags on a typical weekend, two days
out in a campground and travel time on each end of the trip.

You need one of these:

It will pay for itself quickly if you're buying a lot of ice.

They run on either 12 volts or 110, freezes or refrigerates.

Daughter: So dad, what do you do about coffee on your sailign trips.
Me: I make a big thermos.
Daughter: What about when it gets cold.
Me: It's still coffee.
Daughter: Yuk, cold coffee, why not make some hot coffee.
Me: I took out the stove cuz I think stoves aboard small sailboats
are dangerous, so we run out, then I have coffee beans.
Daughter: What? You crush them to make cold coffee?
Me: No, I eat em, they taste good.
Daughter: Thats disgusting, forget it.

My point? Are you really going to put off sailing because you cannot
get a hot meal every time you want it? Are you really going to put it
off because you might be a bit cold and you have to wear a parka?
I think sailing food consists of Pop Tarts for breakfast because you
can hold one while steering.
Lunch should be bread with peanut butter
Dinner, more bread and peanut butter.
Gatoraide
Coffee beans.
apples
What else do you need? No complications with an icebox, no need for a
stove, very simple.

They now make a cooler with wheels and a handle that extends. They
make vacuum bottles that will provide coffee that is too hot to drink
after 24 hours. No need to suffer, even in the smallest boat.

Ahh, but *that* would require Froggy to spend a few dollars.

Do you happen to have a brand name or URL on those "keep it hot for 24
hours" vacuum bottles?

Does your lawyer know that almost every time you post here, you toss out
personal insults and sometimes direct or implied threats?

I have a Thermos "work series" vacuum bottle. It's ok, but certainly not
a 24-hour keep it hot device.

Oh...why are you ignoring your lawyer's advice to not post here?

Oh...might I assume your lawyer told you it would not be a good idea to
come up here to assault me, and that it is also not a good idea for you
to tell your buddy who lives up here to stalk me? :)

If we knew who his lawyer is, we could invite him/her to hang out in here
for a bit.
I imagine they would kick Looneys' ass to the curb in a New York minute.

Yeah, which one keep coffee "too hot to drink" after 24 hours? Our
"Thermos" brand only keeps it that hot for 3-5 or so if we are lucky..

Thanks in advance...

If you get a good one that is made for camping, they'll hold coffee
hot for 24 hours. Think I got mine at REI.
