GL: Freezer

[Tom Keesling]

If you have the space, another interesting option is to go to Lowes or Home
Depot and buy the smallest commercial upright freezer.  Yes, you have to
reach in, but they seem to be better insulated than the typical
refrigerator.  Then, just add an external temp control and keep it at 28
degrees rather than the 05 degrees it is set for.  In this configurations,
it only runs a few minutes an hour and the cost was under $200.
