Donner just last night some new customers came out and bought a couple chickens The guy was telling me about a valve or something you can put on a window unit and get them to run down to 34° I don't know if that accurate but I think in the 40s would be cold enough.
I could never justify the time and expense for a cooler just fore the 4 to 10 deer the boys shoot a year. But with my wife's CSA's and cut flowers sales it would be used for more Than just deer add in butchering cows and it makes financial since. I definitely need to look into budget options.. You would need to install a heating device to cycle on//off and shut the AC off/on to keep the coils from freezing up, if you want it to freeze it should cool to 40 - 45 other wise. Makes sense, I suppose that's what the "cool bot" cabelas sells does.

I looked up hamburger on Walmarts website. For 93% lean its 5.56 a pound in Ottawa KS. If you get beef processed at a local shop your hamburger should be lean like that. Just enough fat to stick it together good rather than a skillet full of grease like you get with the cheap stuff. All of walmarts hamburger has fat added to it. It starts out as cull cow burger at about 1oo% lean and then adds fat trimmings to get it to stick together and add flavor. With real burger from a well finished beef there will be as much grease as if you just fried bacon.

Serious question here. How many people you feeding with that half, and how long does it last? For the three of us a whole only lasts a little over a year. My better half and I are it. I do give some to my daughter and a bit to my dad, but we consume the vast majority of it in a year. We bought the last half right at a year ago. We were out of burger and the best steaks about a week ago. We have a couple of roasts, some stew meat and some tenderized rounds left, at the moment. Maybe 20# total. We pick up our half on Saturday. We planned it out about right, me thinks

Thanks. I regularly hear people talk about getting a half and wonder just how little they eat. A half isn't as much as many people think. exactly! and there are some that only get 1/4. we butcher a whole steer, 2 hogs and about 50-60 chickens every year plus anything we hunt. but we rarely eat anywhere but home.
