[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1671441, member: 29632"] I built one last year and used the coolbot. I got no complaints. The box is 4x8, 8ft tall, OSB exterior walls wrapped in tyvek and skinned with sheet metal, with closed cell spray foam, then another sheet of osb for interior walls painted with some marine grade 2 part epoxy paint from sherwin William's on the walls and floor. Threw a dehumidifier in it to help regulate humidity for drying sausage. The AC is a 110v if I remember correctly 12000 btus. Have to run it in ECO mode to keep from getting too cold. About to fire it up next week, got some hogs that I should have butchered in Feb, but kept never having time for it. The floor is insulated too, door is just a solid core exterior prehung door from mccoys. Roof is osb covered in sheet metal with the spray foam, no "ceiling" Agree that it would be more efficient if not cooling outside air, but for what it is, it works great. I dont run it all the time, only when I'm using it so I'm less concerned about energy efficiency. [/QUOTE]
