Some people cut up a Styrofoam ice chest to fit their fuse and use that. Can be found for just a couple of bucks.

The only real problem with it is that it is a tad large and heavy, so you cannot just pop it into your car. It becomes a fixture at the field... and THEN you'll have to fight to get to use it!

They do become popular in a hurry!

So download the plans and get your club to commision 3-4 - you will not be disappointed.

Good Luck!
Thanks for the info. I'll check out this web site.

That's what I do but I would not suggest it for gassers or field use.

Another idea for you hoaders among us ,I,ve made up a rack system using bread crates and have them in a draw system they just slide in and out even better are Pizza trays as they dont have holes in the bottom I,ve got 24 thats 12 a side and its on wheels with what I,ve Magpied away over the years it must weigh close to 500lbs in weight .so I ve made a hook out of a bit of 1/4 round with a dowel handle and I can haul it round if need be
