Pre-heat faux cambro

[Angryfish]

What is a good way to pre-heat a cooler used as the faux cambro?
I have a heat gun, but I’m afraid of melting plastic sides.
Throwing in some hot coals is out.
thanks,

Ken

Pan of boiling water, or just some hot enough water that won't affect the cooler poured in all by its lonesome.

Simple enough, I suppose.

I heat up a couple fire bricks on the gasser then wrap them in towels. Pop them in your cooler to warm up . If possible, pop the wrapped food in with the towel covered bricks. Should stay toasty warm for hours

You can buy microwavable heating pads that will do a decent job.

I don't worry about it this time of year. When it's already 80-90 outside it's not an issue. In winter I bring the cooler into the house to warm up, then run towels through the dryer to warm them up.

Direct sunlight is what I've been doing. Works pretty well.

Mine sits out on the lanai. It stays plenty warm. On those chilly, 60 degree, winter days, I warm towels in the dryer and use them in the cooler.
