Had an old Igloo (4-5 qt?), cut a hole with a hole saw and glued a neoprene grommet made from a drink coozie. Perfect size for most anything I'd cook for on a regular basis. Gets the most use as a yogurt maker.

I like this. I have a cooler I can sacrifice for the steak gods.
I have a large stackable cooler I do this with. I cut the lid in two pieces so I can leave the sous vide running and check on the food.
Love the grommet idea. Gonna add that to my sousvide cooler.
After I cut my hole in the lid, I cut a cross section of a pool noodle and whittled it to fit the stick. Perfect slide in.
All of my coolers have holes. I stuff a rag when we go to the beach or travel.
Make sure to seal the space between the top and bottom of the lid. You’re going to be pumping warm, most air into that cavity for hours at a time, so it’ll be prime mold and mildew territory if it’s not sealed up first.
Coleman Party Stacker 48 qt is what I found to use years ago. Used a 2 3/8” hole saw on the top. Must be close to ten years now that I’ve had it. I’ve done 20 steaks in it at once and it makes doing pork butts super easy – going to drop three in mine later today since it was on sale at Sam’s.
This is the way.
I have almost this exact set up. No O-ring though I had one years ago and it fell off. Since I’ve done some 24 cook with no problem. It might evaporate a little later but even the 24 hour only needed a slight fill up on water.

Good thinking, Batman! I’ll add a grommet to my sous vide cooler, too.
Neoprene is for extra insulation or to hold the circulator?
👏👍
Damn I need to do this
