Stu,
I appreciate the suggestion on not drilling holes and possibly insulating from the inside. Do you have any suggestions on how or what product to use for an inside the box insulation?

Regarding insulation, I removed the drawer unit, removed the ineffective sheets of styrofoam and was able to spray insulation on the forward wall, bottom and wall closest to drawer unit.  I would guess that I doubled the efficiency. There is very little space to insulate between the stove if any. I'm not sure about the hull side.
After much investigation, I used a product called versi-foam http://www.rhhfoamsystems.com/standard.php. The smallest kit was just enough for what I did.

Dave,
With the drawer unit removed, are the actual walls of the icebox exposed, or is there a second wall? I've not examined it closely so I was assuming there was a double wall with a dead space between. I appreciate the recommendation. I'm looking for easiest/best way to complete the project.
Thanks!
