Anyone know of an upright freezer that is big enough for a conical, has removable shelves, and is manual defrost?
Some upright freezers have refrigeration coils attached to the shelves, rendering them useless for our purposes. I know from experience.
I use one. It has been long enough ago that it will probably do you no good to tell you the model. I just went in to Sears with a tape measure and began measuring interiors. The other thing to look for is a flat floor. Many freezers / fridges have a raised area toward the back. Another thing: if you plan to insert a wires for heat and a temperature probe, be very careful as some put cooling pipes in the walls as well. I drilled through where the rack support indents were and didn’t run into anything.
