scottfletcher We built a house in 2017 and I had an opportunity to create a walk-in cooler using the coolbot. Here are some pictures of the nearly completed project. It does not show the coolbot, but it was mounted right next to the air conditioning unit. The entire room is encapsulated in expanded foam since our house had that for insulation. Additionally I attached rigid 2 inch foam insulation on all four walls and the floor. I topped the floor insulation with a sheet of plywood to give it rigidity. I also put the 2-in insulation on the entry door. The entry door is a solid, exterior door with full weather stripping so it shuts very tightly and does not allow air leakage. I am able to keep the temperature in the 35° range if I like. It surprisingly does not use too much electricity to run it.

RE: Freezer purge.
samspade I ordered the French fry cutter suction cups from Amazon for $10. They have a bolt mounted on them that is about 1/4" diameter that fit the holes on my stuffer base.

PapaSop impressive work! Love the idea of suction cups on your stuffer. It’s that your own mod?

RE: Reuben Brats with Swiss Cheese
Jamieson22 how long can you store natural casings? Do you freeze them or just refrigerate? If I have to buy 100# worth of casing I would have to store it for a long time as I usually only make 25# or so of sausage at a time.

RE: Wild Game
dlcoleman2 I use pork fat and trimmings and go with 30%. Keep it as cold as you can when grinding and stuffing to keep the fat from rending out. Any less fat and the brats always seem dry to me!

RE: Smoked Meat Loaf
Looks great! I do a similar meatloaf using venison or elk, and I layer bacon, hatch green chilis, and cheese on it and roll it up “jelly roll” style…

RE: Freezer purge.
Thanks. How are they attached? Are they mounted on metal posts or something?
