Chest Freezer Prep

Time to take a look at how much game meat I have from last season, and consume/give away before deer opening. I posted last Fall that I had a freezer go out, and the meat spoiled. Terrible feeling. This was during covid. I could not find a new freezer anywhere, and was able to repair the old one. One thing I bought was a freezer alarm. There is a sensor in the freezer, and a monitor inside the house. I found mine on Amazon, I think it was around $30.00. Well worth it. Good luck this season. I hope this helps someone.

I put a freezer alarm on both of mine last year after a close call with one of them. Cheap piece of mind knowing everything is working.

👍👍

Which freezer alarm are you guys using? I need to get two for my freezers. One is getting very old now and the other one...in the last 2 yrs I have had a package of frozen stuff fall and contact against the door, where it kept from closing all the way. I caught it both times and all the frozen packages inside were not completely thawed out. Just want an audible alarm so it don't happen again.

We use YO LINK, got our freezers, our water, and lights all on one hub. Wife got it on Amazon, the work great.

I had a CFCI outlet trip a couple years ago and lost everything. It was stinking by the time I found it. I have since out in a dedicated, non-GFCI circuit that only runs my freezers. Never again.

I use the alarm below. Works as advertised and can monitor both my freezers at the same time.

My kids moved out this last year and I have a freezer full of venison that I've been giving away at work to make room for the new stuff. It's strange not having a bunch of mouths eating me out of house and home anymore. I think I miss it.

I bought this one a month or so ago. I’ve been happy thus far and this is one display unit that does 2 freezer/fridge (any combo, just have two sensors).
