I have a XL Egg and my wife and I had an idea of grabbing a used Egg that may be past its prime and repurpose it as an ice cooler for drinks while we smoke out. Just grabbed this Mini for $50 and I figure it can hold a 6 pack or a bottle of wine. I plan give it a good cleaning and to protect the interior with a liner of some sorts. Just looking for thoughts or if anyone else has done this and has tips. Also does anyone have ideas as to the age? Given the handle and the “R” on the dome I think it’s from around 2002 but not certain.

That’s an awesome idea!
You could use the bottom vent as a drain for any melted ice…
Add some sort of storage for bottle openers on the inside of the lid, add a tilt activated led light so it lights up when you open it…
I’d make any lining removable so you can still use it as a grill…
