Anyone convert a stand up freeze to a fridge to hang elk quarters?

[Elite]

I am looking at rigging up a stand up freezer with a controller to turn it into a fridge for hanging elk quarters. Curious if anyone has done this before and if the quarters would fit?

I would build a internal frame and then hang from there

You will get more storage room with a plate on top and eye hooks inserted...you have to drill thru the fridge but you can just use some firestop caulk around the bolts.

My buddy took an old Pepsi cooler from a convience store and lays his quarters on the racks. Never thought about that kind of option until I saw it

My buddy came up with a rather inexpensive walk in cooler. He bought a cheap 6x6 shed off facebook marketplace insulated it. Bought a CoolBot and a 8000 Btu Lg air conditioner. Hung my elk quarters in it for 2 days and it works great. Keeps the shed a constant 37 degrees. Claims he has just over $1200 in the whole deal.

I used a two door beer display cooler that quit working and installed a coolbot with small air condioner. Solid unit holds meat at 34-36 degree in any conditions.

Guy I know got a refrigerator and ran all-thread through the side, the whole way across and out the other side then caulked. Can hang whatever you want in there.

If you end up going with a freezer - a controller like the beer fridge guys use to convert a chest freezer to fridge temps is simple to retrofit.

This is what I do.

Haven’t done elk quarter yet but all kinds of other stuff has worked great
