How many beads?
 
Looking at purchasing a cooler, but was curious if a pound of beads would suffice. What does everyone use in their 52/54 quart coolers?

David, what works for me is to use the calculator and then go half as much again. For example, if the calculator said a pound, I would go a pound and a half. This seems to give a nice buffer and bounce back from when I am rooting around in a cooler and have it open for a couple of minutes. Also makes for less frequent misting of beads in the dry winter climate. Hope that this helps.:ss

This is true. You can't have too many beads but it's important to have enough.

* How do I calculate how many beads I will need?

To calculate the volume, simply follow this formula:
Multiply the length in inches X width in inches X height in inches
(ex: 10 in. x 10 in. x 10 in. = 1000 cu. in.)
1 oz = 540 cu. in.
2 oz = 1080 cu. in.
3 oz = 1620 cu. in.
4 oz = 2160 cu. in.
5 oz = 2700 cu. in.
6 oz = 3240 cu. in.
7 oz = 3780 cu. in.
8 oz = 4320 cu. in.
9 oz = 4860 cu. in.
10 oz = 5400 cu. in.
11 oz = 5940 cu. in.
12 oz = 6480 cu. in.
13 oz = 7020 cu. in.
14 oz = 7560 cu. in.
15 oz = 8100 cu. in.
16 oz = 8640 cu. in.

I hope this helps
