Abstract: An ice chest includes a main body and a hinged lid. The main body includes a first internal compartment, second internal compartment and third internal compartment. The first and second internal compartments are separated from one another by a barrier that is capable of thermal transfer, but prohibits liquid transfer. The third internal compartment is positioned directly below the first and second internal compartments and positioned above the bottom of the main body. The third internal compartment is also capable of retaining liquid received through the first internal compartment. A porous barrier is positioned between the first and third internal compartments and filters liquid flowing from the first to the third internal compartment. The main body also includes a filtered spout capable of providing a second filtering mechanism and a release mechanism for liquid being retained in the third internal compartment.

Abstract: An ice chest includes a main body and a hinged lid. The hinged lid is capable of being positioned over the main body and sealing the ice chest. The main body also includes a first internal compartment, second internal compartment and third internal compartment. The first and second internal compartments are separated from one another by a barrier that is capable of thermal transfer, but prohibits liquid transfers. The third internal compartment is positioned directly below the first and second internal compartments and positioned above the bottom of the main body. The third internal compartment is also capable of retaining liquid. The main body of the ice chest further includes a porous barrier capable of filtering liquid that is positioned between the first and third internal compartments. The main body of the ice chest also has a filtered spout capable of providing a second filtering mechanism and release mechanism for liquid being retained in the third internal compartment.
