Default BOXIDOR less expensive alternative to COOLERidor

I went out looking for a 120 - 150 qt marine (or not) cooler.
Nothing to be found. Biggest I saw was a 70 qt in Walmart. I could see the benefits of the doubled size, two door, 150 qt cooler..
I want one..

I'm not going to find one soon, for the price I want to pay, so I ended up with this 35 gallon Sterlite box...MY Boxidor!!!!!
I started with this




Hmmm, this has great promise. Just $12...
Sooo Starting to put the overflow in..Quite the overflow...Yes!



Ahhh Let's get some gasket material on this.


I didn't think this seals as well as I want so I put gasket material on the inside of the lid...


I like this storage as a CHEAP means of storing your cigars. It holds humidity well as you can see in this picture


I have a remote temp/humidity transmitter. I know this is a reliable sensor reading because I tested it over time.

I like this box a lot. I positioned it at a nice height for me and the boxes are stacked inside like a rubiks cube

Here it is filled today. As you can see I rely on this box to store my sticks properly.


For an inexpensive alternative to a large cooler we have THIS
