Anyone have any successful anova & rtic cooler setups?

Just go to Academy and buy a cheap Igloo. That's what I use for my Anova and it works just fine.
- Buy an Igloo the size you need
- Measure the diameter of the Anova with a string
- Go to Home Depot and buy a hole saw of the same diameter
- Drill hole with hole saw in the lid of the Igloo in the location you want (mine's right in the middle)
- Drop Anova in the hole and your ready to go

Yeti customer support told me not to use it hotter than 170. I have a joule with the balls and the big clip

Don't use a rotomolded cooler. Buy a cambro.

I used hot water out of the tap to fill the vessel if that is what you mean?redag06 said:
Did you assist the Anova by using hot water? I've read as long as you do that it won't burn out the Anova.
This is another reason to use a cooler instead of a cambro for large cooks. The insulation of the cooler, especially if you use the lid, will help the lower powered Anova along.ILikeTacos said:CastleRock said:

And this is what I use for my bigger cooks (steaks for 15-20 people) but beware I have burned up two Anova's doing too big of a vessel. Both were 900 watt models, jumped up to a Sansaire 1100 Watt model and have not had an issue. It doesn't seem as precise and doesn't have any techno gadgets so I think I will move to a Joule next.
