While choosing a cooler size, a customer must consider the desired cooling timeframe, as well as the amount of food. The latter is highly dependent on the number of people.
A regular size – 35-55 Quart – is enough for an average family barbeque or short camping. 20-30-quart models provide enough space for a family weekend trip.
Large coolers – 50-80 quart – are enough for extended trips with 3-4 people. It’s also often a choice of fishers or hunters to keep their trophies inside.
