DIY Chiller upgrades

[takbok]

I was very grateful to receive a chiller from @Auroch off the site - thank you!. Here are a few pics of upgrades I've done to fit hanging rails.

I also replaced the thermostat with a new Danfoss one off eBay (£21) and a temperature gauge (£3) to replace faulty original. I used 1" thick walled aluminium tube, some 3d printed parts and 5 x 50mm csk self tapping screws.

I'll try and get some more pics of the rest (shiny stainless bits) of my new larder in due course.

Tidy set up you have

Looks really good - those rails really have increased the useable capacity. Glad the thermostat and display were inexpensive to replace - if not have known where to start with that job!

Thanks all - quite satisfying little job. It's felt like 1 step forward and 2 steps back with this larder but it's slowly getting there.

I am not built to handle red deer so have the utmost respect for anyone that does. I share the sentiment of a guy who took me out to shoot my first red last Dec "big horrible stinking ..things"

I shoot mostly roe deer, but it's nice to be able to deal with the odd Red deer.

I like roe...nice and easy to handle but as you said its nice to have the option for dealing with the big ones.

Sweet set up. I’ve been looking to do something similar. Will have to keep my eyes peeled for a fridge that can be adapted.
