Oh Happy-happy! I scored a fridge for the garage for $50. Now my household fridge won't have 1/3 taken up with bacon curing or meats marinating or brining. Letgo app rocks!.

Cool! Now you'll need another freezer for the stuff you make and the meat sales you just can't pass up. It's like a snowball....

:yahoo:
 
Awesome. Snowball it does. Ended up with 2 in the garage(needed room for beverages) and an upright freezer on the porch. Still tight on space. (Love the buy one get one sales on meat)

I already have a freezer chest in the garage, lol. Bought that a few months ago.

Score for sure! I have 3 fridges and a chest freezer. Even now with the kids are gone, they are still full of stuff!

I haven't done the math, but there is so much savings in buying bulk and processing, separating, slicing, curing, vacuum sealing or whatever... At least it tastes better!
 
Yep, she's hooked!

Nice price on that frig as well!

Can I give a little advice?  Well, I'm going to anyway.  If you're not in that frig at least once a day, get online and buy a temperature alarm for the frig.  All it takes is a frig going out to make you really cry hard!

Think 100# of boudin fermenting in it's own casings at a temperature of 72 degrees F...  Gag factor and a LOT of work gone...

It is all about producing quality at a reasonable price, something that is hard to come by in the stores (and a hobby to take a little pride in)

Great score! We have 3 fridges & 1 freezer.

Still they seem to be packed full all the time.

I think they are like basements and garages, no matter how big (or how many) one always uses all of the space. [emoji]128513[/emoji]

Know how that is. Had 30lbs of dry salami in my cure fridge, went away for a few days and power went out, fridge popped the gfi and it was ruined. took me a week to sanitize and get the fridge clean.
 
Perfect score! I got me one this summer for $50 on Craigs list. I have 4 slabs of bacon in it now.

I have a butt and some ribs in there, a side of belly in the freezer and a whole bunch of bottled water just to take up space because they work better full.

I got it because bacon needs a special place to smoke up in between smokes. Hubs objected to smokey iced tea [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Thanks for the advice. Sorry you learned that bit the hard way, though. I keep water in there as well so I'm in it a couple times a day. I also have a small freezer chest back there to keep an eye on. But those chest style freezers are a bit more forgiving of a power outage.
