How long to let a cooler air out

[ashauler]

I'm a noob here but I'm learned a few tricks to building a coolerdor.

Bleach is perfectly safe for your cooler and it kills nasties at as low as a few ppm. I used it for year to sanitize my beer and wine bottles prior to bottling for that reason. If you use like 1 tbsp per gallon of water and triple rinse you will have no bleach residue or smell. Let the cooler air dry and keep it open until the plastic smell is gone. 2-5 days unless you get some really stinky plastic. Realistically though, if you get some cedar to line the walls then the plastic smell will not even be an issue. My cooler actually smells more cedary than my humidors do.

Welcome to the board.......where are ya from?

Light bleach solutions are no problem. Hell, you can sanitize drinking water that way. I just didn't have any on hand. I let it air out for three days in the garage and you can't smell a thing. I just put the four boxes I have in this morning and I'll have four more delivered Mon and another on Fri. I'm also going to pick up some spanish cedar boards to make shelves and a couple trays for singles. I'll take pics once it's a little more full. Shouldn't take too long

Southern California. Thanks for the welcome. I'm an fng here but I moderate blowinsmoke.net and was a member of ca for years before I got banned for posting a derogatory review of the non-cuban bolivar. What can I say it was one of the worst cigars I ever smoked.

Cool.....we are pretty much self-moderated here though we do have a couple hanging around somewhere.
