Garage Freezer Yea or Nay?

I have a 5 cubic foot deepfreeze and I recently bought an upright freezer because it's easier to keep track of stuff. I put unprocessed deer meat in the deep freeze and once it's how I want it it goes in the upright. I store fish, shrimp, and do bulk purchases when meat we like goes on sale. I don't see a downside at all.

Mine stays full, so yes I’d say it’s very useful.

Garage Freezer Yea or Nay?

Yea

We got one a couple years during some Lowe’s holiday sale. Whirlpool chest freezer.

It’s made huge difference for us. We have 4 kids and badly needed the extra freezer space. Can certainly buy and stockpile more now. I keep 2-3 bags of ice in at the bottom as well and always have plenty of room to spare. We actually never keep it too full especially in summer when I’m worried about hurricane or extended power outage.

But yes, I would certainly recommend if you have room for it.

Couldn’t live without mine. In my garage, I have a side by side fridge/freezer and a full sized upright freezer.

Same

I have a chest freezer and an upright, couldn’t do without them.Just try and develop a system so that stuff doesn’t get lost.It’s easy to get them so crammed full that things get buried.

Put our one door fridge/freezer in the garage after upgrading to a double door. Extra freezer plus extra ice maker is sweet. Keep all the game/fish outside in the freezer, and extra ice and cold space is handy.

yes especially if you hunt or fish

also gives you a place for those boston butt deals going on sale and the turkeys for christmas and new years

avoid the chest freezers, they freeze everything together in a solid block at some point and everything on the bottom half gets thrown away because you forget its in there. get a stand up freezer and you will wonder how you ever got along without it

Let's do a quick survey as to the best location for an extra freezer.
The instructions will tell you not to keep a freezer in an uncontrolled environment like a garage, but many, including myself, find it quite convenient to keep one there, considering most homes have the garage located right by the kitchen.
So, I ask:
Where do you keep your freezer?

A. Garage
B. Inside the house (closet, pantry, laundry room, etc)
C. Basement
D. Outside on a porch, etc.

I'm A. Although I could choose "C", I don't feel like traveling that far to place or retrieve stuff. I'd probably end up eating a bowl of cereal, rather than head all the way to the basement to see if I have a frozen pizza to heat up.
