So Im building a keezer out of an 8.8cuft Kenmore black chest freezer. As I am dismantling the lid I see that there is only 1.5" of batting insulation in the entire lid. Which is probably about an R value of 4-5.
Has anyone thought of, or had experience, adding additional 1.5"-2.0" foam board insulation over and around the lid for an addition R7-R10 or so? Id simply sandwich it between the lid and the plywood base of the top of the keezer.
I know I cant add it around the exterior at all because that's how it get rid of heat and requires a 3" gap minimum. But the lid could take more insulation without harming anything.
Thoughts? Experiences??
