Saw the other cooler post. Incase anyone is looking, I grabbed this cooler at Sam’s Club for $25. For my INKBIRD, I used a 2” hole saw through the top(it’s hollow no foam) and on the top side cut a edge out so the sousvide can sit on the bottom of the lid.
A full rack of ribs fits perfect side to side in it.
I may spray foam the empty top and do a rubber gasket or something around where the sousvide enters

I have the stackable Coleman in both sizes. We cut a hole in the top of each off to one side (highly recommend in the corner to make room for meat). We also cut the top in half so I can peek without moving the heater. We have not used spray foam and have not noticed heat loss. I think you don’t need to.
Check to see if the lid is hollow, and you might want some spray foam in there.
Most Igloo coolers have a plug where you fill with water and freeze to have them stay cool longer.
The spray foam adds an extra layer of insulation.
I used to have one of these and loved it, but you should definitely seal the hollow part somehow so that water doesn’t accidentally get in and cause mold.
