Thermos Tips

[cnelk]

As we enter the fall season, chilly weather soon follows.
I, like many of you, like to drink hot coffee in the mornings on my way hunting/fishing.

Here are some thermos tips

Cleaning:
Fill about 3/4 full with hot water, then drop a couple denture cleaning tablets in, put cover on, gently shake it up and let it sit overnight.
Dump out and rinse.
Clean!

Keeping the coffee hot:
Prior to pouring coffee into the thermos, fill it with boiling water and let it sit for 5 min.
[This will \'temper\' the inside of the thermos]
Dump out and immediately fill with coffee.
Your coffee will stay hot for a loooong time.

Keeping the coffee hot II:
If you are headed out ice fishing or to your deer stand when its really cold, put your thermos in a heavy wool sock.
This will insulate the thermos even more

These are a few tips I use to enjoy a nice cup of coffee.

If anyone has more, please share!

A thermos can be used things other than coffee... When duck hunting in the cold we normally take a thermos or 2 of coffee but also take at least 1 thermos with hot soup... A cup of hot soup is a treat when the ducks ain\'t flying too good... When the younger grand boys go there is a thermos of hot chocolate in the mix too...

i think most of the heat escapes out of the neck..where the drinking cup goes.

AND..a couple of carefully wrapped breakfast burritos fit in a big thermos end to end. wrapped in foil. stays warm for hours. jus saying.

I\'m hunting with Cliff!!

Bet we could get some green chile in one and posole in another....

I got a Yeti coffee mug that works really well but doesn\'t seal like a Thermos.

Somebody just told me a can of beer will fit thru the hole of a camelback bladder. Ice, water.....the possibilities!

Not really a thermos tip, but somebody has to side track this thread! :wtf: So hear goes! If you wrap a brats or a couple of hotdogs in tin foil and place them on the intake manifold of your truck as you are driving around, you\'ll have a hot meal in no time without having to stop and start a fire to cook it.

I like this one! :upthumb: I have warmed a mre on the dashboard with the defroster on and some sunshine.

I used to have one of these on my snowmobile.
Great for warming up burritos or hot dogs when out riding!
