TRASH CAN CHILLER
Difficulty Rating:
I forget now where we came across the idea, and hope to give credit in here soon, but these are excellent and cheap and easy to build
fog chillers, which worked great with 1000w foggers. As you can see from the images below, they are siple to make. These end up holding roughly 35-50 lbs of ice, and last all night.
Main Materials:
- 20 Gallon Rubbermaid Trash Can ($12 at Home Depot)
- 8' of 4" flexible dryer vent tubing
- Caulk
- OPTIONAL: 10' length of landscaping 4" tubing with the little holes in it (I used this to hide the chiller and fogger on the side of the house, and direct it out into the yard)
Instructions:
- Get trash can
- Take off lid of trash can
- Cut 4" holes on opposite sides on the bottom
- Stretch out tubing and insert one end out one of the 4" holes
- Wrap tubing around the inside of the can, and then loop down through the bottom and push out the other end through the remaining 4" hole
- Caulk edges around exits on both sides
- Start dropping in ice (holds up to 50lbs of ice)
- Add fog
