“The device requires connection to a cylinder of compressed liquid CO2 with a dip tube or siphon (not included, cylinder with dip tube/siphon must be purchased from local gas dealers or welding supply shops). Upon opening the cylinders valve, CO2 is forced into the devices chamber, where it vaporizes, expands, and becomes extremely cold; excess vapor is vented through its vertical filter slots, and the remaining vapor accumulates in the chamber and is compressed into a 7″ L x 3″ W x 2″ D block of dry ice. One 50-lb. CO2 cylinder at room temperature yields up to 11 blocks of dry ice, handling requires use of insulated gloves (not included). 8 1/2″ H x 4 1/2″ W. (5 lbs.)”
