rappahannock Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Most ice houses (suppliers) have dry ice for sale but a word of caution on the use of liquid nitrogen... It can fuck you up. I have seen it first hand. If you do find some, make sure its food grade and foremost, invest in safety equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to start this project with dry ice and liquid nitrogen is for a second part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw the display (don't know what to call it) when I was there last week. It's in the front of the store. I saw it when I was leaving the checkout to exit the store.

ol_ironstomach Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 OK- looks like ive got dry ice covered- thanks all. Any ideas for liquid nitrogen? Not since we used to raid the dewars behind the high-energy physics lab on campus for dregs, but we also had access to proper handling equipment at the time. You doing the instant-ice-cream trick or something? Have you tried the obvious industrial suppliers - Roberts Oxygen (most consumer-friendly, least-likely to carry), Air Products, or BOC Gases?

squidsdc Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Talbots or Talberts or something on River Road in Bethesda, near the Whole Foods, has dry ice. Elbe's in Wheaton is where we got our dry ice when the hurricane hit. (And it is Talberts...a local institution. About 25 years ago I worked at Talbots in White Flint and we would constantly have people calling us wanting to order kegs!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
