Uses for a broken freezer?

[caroline7758]

When we came to switch on our chest freezer to store stuff while we defrosted our main one, it blew the electrics! It's more than 20 years old and has been in a damp cellar so think it's had it. But can't help thinking there must be some use for a well-insulated box like that? Any ideas, allotment-related or otherwise? I think it's about 6 cubic feet.

Hi

Put the freezer on its side and use it to make beer with :-)

This will keep the beer at a constant temp.

remove lid - bury - add water - add frogsawn - instant pond - watch the slugs disappear

or don't remove lid - bury it a little proud of the soil (so it doesn't fill with water) - line with straw - instant clamp/cold cellar for winter root veg ;D

We used to use an old chest freezer as a rodent proof storage bin for animal feeds or horse rugs etc down at the stables till we got an old BT wagon body.

Hi
Chest freezers make great propogators if you remove the lid and attach clear perspex with lights over the top.
