Dry ice

[Jorge]

Shipping some beef overnight via FedEx. Anybody have any experience with how much dry ice I need to add? 20 lbs of cold, but not frozen beef, cryovacked, and wrapped in paper to prevent freezer burn, stuffed into a styrofoam beer cooler and then boxed up.

Area Squared divided by dispersion rate of dry ice should get you close. BTW My Peecan will not require the ice mod.

Huh?

Use them blue freezer packs and fill air cavity with styrofoam peanuts.

Dry ice will damage the meat

That's why I'm wrapping in newspaper. You confident that isn't good enough to protect it?

George,

This is from http://www.dryiceinfo.com/shipping.htm but if it's over night (24 hours) then you'll need 20 lbs for 20 lbs of meat.

BTW I get Dry Ice shipments here weekly there is always extra so 20lbs might be over kill

Same here. Receive solder and epoxy shipped in dry ice and it seams as though none of the ice has melted.

I guess that will work.

I just happen to send and receive alot of meat and stuff, so blue packs are easier. I got some with Giles name on them in my freezer, and probably he's got a few with mine.

Too hot to do it in July and August for us though.

Good luck.
