Fisherman Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Turn it over and see where it's made, then call back in 23 years and see if it still keeps the food or drink hot. They are not made in the US for about the past 5+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krixxer Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I've been testing the Chinese one I just bought for 2 days now. After 8 hours in the freezer water came out at 77C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crappieperchhunter Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) I love taking soup or stew out on the ice in a thermos. I have a big polar fleece sweater I wrap the thermos in to help keep it hot longer. If it is a real cold day I can put my sweater on as another layer later in the day...and the sweater is warmed up nicely from the thermos when I put it on Crappy Tire may play games with their pricing but if you flyer watch and are patient you can always get great deals on stuff. Thx for posting. I'm sure someone on here will grab one of those thermos and enjoy it. Edited November 4, 2013 by crappieperchhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Kawartha1 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Can't go wrong for $23. Just be sure to pre-heat it with boiling water for a few minutes, dump it out and then fill it. Mine will keep coffee piping hot for about 48hrs while out on the ice for a weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yeah these thermos' are excellent. Had a thermos of chicken broth in my truck for 2.5 days with temps between 0 and -5 and it was still hot to the tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I've been testing the Chinese one I just bought for 2 days now. After 8 hours in the freezer water came out at 77C Just bought a new thermos brand a week ago and did the freezer test. Boiled water to start with and after 28 hours I couldn't hold my hand under the water when pouring it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmos Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Came back from local CT. They do have some thermoses on sale as well. One for $31(originally $41) looks really nice. 24 hours guaranteed. And of course it is made in China as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshS Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I had no idea a thermos could last that long! I've been using cheap crap for the last few years. I'm gonna grab one, thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I've had my stainless thermos for the better part of 20 years. Works perfectly as long as you pre-heat it with boiling water before you add your beverage of choice. I remember the first time I used it, we were fishing Quinte in a tinny. Spray was flying everywhere and with temps in the minus 10 area, I found my brand new thermos frozen solid under an inch of ice, to the bottom of the boat. Had to literally kick it free in order to enjoy my still very much steaming beverage. A must have as far as I'm concerned. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whopper Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I have two, the eldest is now 36 years old this month and still works well and I never go fishing without it. The first 15 years of service it was used everyday while I worked outside doing construction work, it has been beat to death and I can't tell you how many replacement stoppers and cups I've went through. Like someone else said the trick, is pre heating the thermos with very hot or boiling water. I have newer one that is about ten years old that I haven't used but about six times and looks brand new, got it for Christmas because the giver didn't like the way old trusty looks. I am a heavy coffee drinker and my first has worked well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krixxer Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I know my fishing reports don't impress anyone so I glad you guys liked the tip ok now that we all have a nice thermos for our coffee let's talk beans! Last year my family switched over to http://www.baroccocoffee.com/ , a local place I have near my shop. They import, blend and roast onsite. I like the Appian bend, rich and creamy and not burned black .......please tell me you guys don't think Timmy's or County style make make a respectable cup of coffee? Sure we all drink, it but is real coffee?...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yea we have the same here with snow shovels except we wait till it is snowing and then take our poor snow driving skills and run out to Home Depot. I am thinking we would be better off if we planned ahead and bought thermoses instead and stayed at home with a nice hot cup of coffee.
