Canadian Dry Ice

Dry ice is basically the secret weapon for your camping cooler. It chills at -79.5°C, which is way colder than regular ice, and it turns straight from a solid to a gas—so you won’t end up with a soggy mess at the bottom of your cooler. That means more space for food and drinks, less cleanup, and hours (or even days) of cold. Want your regular ice to last even longer?

Toss in some dry ice. It’ll keep the whole cooler at arctic temps, so your regular ice sticks around instead of melting into slush. The combo is unbeatable if you’re heading out for a long trip or need to keep things frozen solid.

Summer storms hit hard. One minute you’re sweating through another muggy afternoon, the next, the wind’s howling and the lights flicker out. Suddenly you’re staring at your fridge, wondering if everything inside is about to go bad. Food spoilage during a power outage isn’t just annoying—it can burn through your grocery budget and leave you tossing out piles of perfectly good stuff.

But there’s a simple way to fight back: dry ice. With just a little planning, you can keep your freezer cold and your food safe until the power comes back on. Dry ice doesn’t just buy you time—it can save you a lot of money and frustration. Next time you see those storm clouds gathering, remember: a trip to pick up dry ice could make all the difference for your kitchen.

Moving is already a nightmare — the last thing you want is to open a cooler two days later and find a puddle of what used to be a month's worth of groceries. Frozen food is one of the trickiest parts of any move, but with a little planning, you can get your goods to your new place safe and intact. The key is timing: pick up dry ice the morning of the move, and load the coolers last so they spend as little time in the truck as possible.

One of the cleverest tricks for getting rid of gophers and mice doesn't call for poison or traps—it’s dry ice. Farmers and groundskeepers have been using it for years, especially when other methods start to feel futile. Here’s how it works: find the burrow or nest, drop dry ice nuggets inside, and then cover the entrance with dirt. As the dry ice turns from solid to gas, it releases carbon dioxide, filling the tunnels with CO2 and pushing out all the oxygen. It’s a silent way to suffocate the problem at its source.

This trick works especially well in fields and pastures, where gophers can tear up roots and mice can chew their way through feed and wiring. The best part? Dry ice doesn’t leave chemicals behind. Unlike most pesticides, it won’t poison the soil or leach into groundwater, which means you’re not trading one problem for another. It’s about as clean as pest control gets—no toxic residue, no lasting mess, and no environmental hangover.

Just remember to handle the dry ice with care, and you’ll have a safe, simple way to keep rodents in check.

Canadian Dry Ice is getting our ice cream vendors ready for a busy Saturday out on the road. Dry ice is a lifesaver for keeping your frozen treats solid all day— without relying on power. For a typical 8 to 10-hour shift, plan to use about 15 to 25 pounds of dry ice.

Just remember: always wear insulated gloves when handling it, and don’t seal your cooler all the way. Dry ice needs room to vent as it evaporates, so keep it safe and keep those ice cream bars frosty!

How do you make your dry ice last as long as possible after you buy it? The first rule of dry ice club: don’t buy it early; we recommend the day of use or the night before.

Once you’ve got your hands on it, resist the urge to toss it in your freezer as your thermostat could malfunction. Instead, grab a good plastic cooler. No cooler? No worries—we’ve got Styrofoam ones that are so dependable, you’ll wonder why you ever trusted your cousin’s ancient picnic box.

Now, here’s the trick: dry ice hates empty space. If there’s any room in the cooler, fill it up with cardboard, towels, or even that stack of unread newspapers you’ve been avoiding. The more you pack around your dry ice, the longer it’ll hang around.

Camping with dry ice is a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts who want to enjoy fresh food and cold drinks without the hassle of melting ice. With the right knowledge and precautions, you can keep your camping experience cool and convenient.

No more soggy cheese, no more fishing your bacon out of a pool of water. You can even keep ice cream frozen in the middle of the woods—something that feels like a minor miracle after years of making do with lukewarm sodas and half-melted chocolate. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with the regular stuff.

Picture this: your first dance as a married couple, but with a twist—you're literally dancing on clouds. Instead of just swaying on a regular dance floor, you’re surrounded by a rolling mist that hugs the ground and makes every step feel cinematic. Your guests will be snapping photos, your videographer will be thrilled, and you’ll both look like you just stepped out of a dream sequence. All it takes is a dry ice fog machine, which most local photographers or videographers can bring along or rent.

Want to make your entrance even more unforgettable? Set out clear glass vases filled with warm water at each table, and just before you walk in, add a chunk of dry ice to each one. The fog will spill out and drift across the room, turning your reception into something straight out of a fairytale. Whether you're going for wow-factor romance or something that just looks seriously cool, this is the move for any couple tying the knot this year.
