What do you guys and gals use to warm your cooler to FTC?

I put in a pot of hot water.

Many here use hot water to pre-heat.  I have several sizes of coolers and simply pick the smallest that will work.  With this method I have not seen a need to pre-heat.

i dont use a cooler for ftc... i will put the beast in a disposable aluminum roaster pan and cover it with foil and wrap a towel around it and put it in a cold microwave... with the micros insulating properties its kinda like a cooler... just dont turn on the microwave...

sometimes i will preheat the oven to 200 degrees and turn it off and slide it in there all wrapped up...

both methods as well as a cooler will hold the beast well... many hours in all reality...

I rarely FTC, but a dryer way to heat the cooler would be to use a heating pad if you got one.

I use a medium size soft sided collapsable cooler that I smush down to just fit whatever I am FTC'ing, so I don't bother heating the cooler.

I have done the hot water thing, but I don't see a lot of benefit in it when to cooler is already housed in a hot garage.

If it's a FTC that you really need to stretch out for a long time, I can see the benefit, because 4 or 5 degrees can make a difference. But for an hour or two FTC, I usually don't even bother to preheat. And I agree with you, FLB, because in the middle of the summer, with the garage doors and cooler open, it gets plenty of preheat right there.
