Me too. I have a sensor in both freezers that connects to my cell phone and sends alerts if it gets above a set temperature. The contents are much more valuable to me than the freezer.I just had a compressor die in our big chest freezer, a few weeks ago. I hope your freezer catches up, and isn't actually dying.
I find it hard to believe the meat would go bad, since it was cool when I put it in the freezer. I agree the meat on the outside will freeze first, but the meat in the center will slowly cool down from its initial temperature. Considering people leave meat hanging in trees for days at a time on backpacking hunts without spoilage, I can't imagine this meat will go back when it was in the freezer less than 30 hours after being killed. I also had it on ice in coolers within 6 hours of the shot and the second load was kept in the shade.I wouldn't have stacked the meat like that ,id spread it out as much as you can and let it cool and freeze independently and properly. when you got meat all clumped up like that ,the heat from the meat isn't escaping . The outside portions might be frozen ,but when you get to the middle pieces they might be going bad by the time you get to it .
I have never done this on any of my freezers, but perhaps I should. I just bought this standup freezer last year.When was the last time you pulled out the freezer and cleaned out the compressor area?

Which freezer alarm is this? I've been wanting to replace the cheap ones I currently have..do you like it?I shot a spike with my bow this weekend and was able to get it all processed and in the standup freezer yesterday. My freezer alarm has been chirping at me ever since. I am guessing it is going to take two to three days for all of it to freeze and then drop back down to normal temps.

The standup freezer has a built in alarm, which is the one that is beeping. I added a Mocreo sensor. There is a hub in my house that connects to the temperature sensor in each freezer. You can set the temperature you want alerts sent to your phone or emails. I did have three sensors hooked up to three freezers in my garage. I found that three freezers plugged in at the same time started tripping the breaker in the summer time, so I consolidated to two.Which freezer alarm is this?

My brother thought the same ,until he was in same exact situation you were in . He bought a quarter cow ,I killed and cut the same day, when he stuck it in the freezer he thought he was good until he thawed out meat a few weeks later ,the warmth of all the meat stuck around too long and he had some spoiled meat in the middle .I find it hard to believe the meat would go bad, since it was cool when I put it in the freezer.

I am not saying your idea is bad, but I don't have any extra freezer space at this point.
Dang, I am not saying that didn’t happen but it still doesn’t make sense to me. Guys hang a quarter in a cooler for weeks at a time to age the meat. The meat in the middle of the quarter doesn’t go bad, and the cooler is at a higher temp than my freezer.My brother thought the same ,until he was in same exact situation you were in .

Curiosity got the better of me. I opened the freezer and all of the meat is starting to freeze and get hard, even in the middle so I think it should be ok.My brother thought the same ,until he was in same exact situation you were in .
