Garage Conversion Deer Larder - Part 1

[@theroedeerguy]

Can i ask what fridge you use please

I’m using a Landig LU7000 with an additional hanging rail which gives me a bit more flexibility and hanging space.

Although the internal dimensions are very similar to the LU9000 model, if I was buying another I’d go for the LU9000 which has less shelving ridges on the sides and would be marginally quicker to clean.

Really happy with the Landig though, I’ve had it for a few years, it’s very economical to run and gets down to temperature very quickly after being switched on and is well designed and easy to clean.

Two does yes, two big bucks would be a squeeze but just about - might need to wedge the door.
Excellent fridge & very pleased I invested in.

Now looking in envy at theroedeerguy’s set up - very good

Would be good to get a ball park sense of what a project like this might cost when you get there? I’ve got the space to do something similar but doubt I’ve the cash for it sadly.

How are you getting on with the larder now you’ve had chance to get some use of it? Would you make any changes?

Still got a couple of things to do, hence why I’ve not put up the rough costings.

So far it’s working very well for me and the long hanging rail is so handy for letting carcasses cool down before going into the chiller.

Looks absolutely amazing mate! Well done!
Quite similar to mines.
I put in an accessible trap outside and very glad I did as there's a surprising amount of **** that goes down the channel drain even though I normally put a tray under the hanging rail when skinning etc.. I also had problems with the drain so that drain doctor was able to put his hose down via the roddable trap which saved the day!
As someone else said, a pir sensor for your light comes in really handy to save any mess around switch and saves leaving the light on too!
The only other thing I done was I installed trace heating on my water supply pipe as the pipe comes from neighbours house and is about 20m long ,I didn't want to risk any burst pipes in their property.
I have a fan to install as others have also said just to keep abit of airflow in the room, one of many things on my to do list
