Interesting storage idea....

[Kenyth]

I would think something nice and inert, like nitrogen, would work better...

CO2 is neutral enough under these circumstances. The plus is that it's a nice big heavy molecule in comparison to other gases. It tends to settle out at the bottom of containers it's stored in, displacing other gases to the top. It's also very easy to contain because of this. It's also toxic in high concentrations to most life, including many that cause spoilage.

There's some serious thinking go on today. I might have to come back tonight.

My thoughts in the past have been that filling your coolerdor with CO2 might be a good way to kill beetle larva or prevent them from hatching. It should also inhibit mold growth.
