Re: [blackbelly] Butchering
Hi Terry, Yes, it is a remote temperature controller. You stick a temperature sensing bulb inside the fridge/freezer and plug the freezer into the control unit which sits outside the freezer. It overrides the temp controller in the freezer. I think it is designed for beer lovers who convert them into keg coolers! Says it's for refrigerators/freezers, but apparently some home fridges have trouble getting down to the lower temps. You can see it at http://ceisites.com/9025.html The other problem we've found with most refrigerators is that they pretty much all have a freezer compartment, which reduces the area you have to hang a full carcass. Even our old freezer has two non-removeable shelves.

Re: [blackbelly] butchering
Barb, Yes! Ted handles the knife - I hold the carcass That is my job. He uses an old hunting knife and then ( since he is a taxidermist) he will also use a scalpel for close/small areas. I can't be there for the shot either I wait til its all done and over with before I appear! Glad to hear your freezer worked well for you. I have a question though. We have an older upright freezer that just wasn't keeping his 'animals' that needed to be mounted frozen enough. It would still cool but not keep them froze. Would that 'freezer tamer' gadget work in an upright like that or not? HAppy eating!

Sue Oooh, you're going to need a fridge repairman for that one, not a dumb sheep farmer wannabe! :o) Sounds like it's already about the right temp to cool a carcass!
