Freezers - Upright or Chest?

[s1120]

For you people who have had freezers before, here's one for you. I am looking for a freezer for the new house, and it will be kept in the garage. Now, I have learned from having refrigerators in the garage, that they do not work well when it gets real cold. Is this a problem with freezers also? Is one type better then another? I will have heat in the garage, but rather not have to run it all the time.

You can be assured that if you have a freezer in an unheated garage that at -30 you will not have any problems keeping things frozen.

Course if you have a fridge out there too the beer will also be frozen.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [img]/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Not frozen beer! [img]/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]



My problem with the fridge was that it kept kicking the defrost cycle. So it ended up heating the inside of the fridge. Hope that does not happen to the freezer.
