That's a pretty good type. I have one that features a closed-cell-foam core
and a reflective layer on both sides. This is good for critical uses. I
also have a couple of used Chocosphere boxes, with the 2-part clamshell
style foam enclosures. Finally, there are a couple of boxes that have loose
insulation - I like wool sweaters - coupled with bubble wrap.

Yeah, I don't have that problem because the heat at my place is set to 60F
(I prefer a cool environment). But if you're a cold person, I suppose the
colder months could be a risk with heating set to a higher setting. Keep
your chocolate away from heat vents under these conditions.
