[tybo6]

I have come across an old o'conner upright freezer.Does anyone know if it will make a good upright?..Of course I know I need to strip it out and get insulation and such out of it.any tips or tricks would greatly be appreciated.

What kind of insulation is in it???

Test the insulation to flame, if it doesn't ignite it should be fine.

Wayside,It looks like old asbestos insulation.I know I have to strip all the plastic and such out.But I have heard that certain models after certain yrs should not be used due to the treatment's and chemicals of the units that a burn out will not take care of.ITS BIGGGGGG...would be a perfect upright.I have fire brick to line bottom with after I strip it.Still tryin to figure how to vent it and with what to vent with,,I know I am going to put a stack in the top.But,Thought of putting in 2 brass ball valves in each side.
