    DIY Walk in Cooler Design

    I built mine out of reject plywood from work and 2 layers of 2" foam. 5' wide by 8' long and 7' high. Coolbot and a window ac , I can maintain 35° pretty easily. I built a framework into the ceiling with a bunch of hooks for hanging deer and elk quarters.

    Pink camo, #dadbodhunter, and a whole lotta stupid!

    I was able to grab our 3 door commercial fridge from a business that was transitioning owners, guy listed it on FB market place and I got it for well under half of retail. Cost was a touch under what building a similar sized one with a AC unit/coolbot would cost, and its mobile if I need it to be.

    Meat locker options

    ...(painted with Kilz paint for easy clean up) insulated door and all sealed up really well. I plan to cool it with a new air conditioner and a Coolbot controller. I have a concrete pad behind my garage which I can built everything on. Pricing out the cost of materials, for a very ballpark...

    DIY Walk in Cooler Design

    We jerry rigged up an old air conditioner before Coolbot was cool. Seems kind of funny that they sell those things for so much money. I think it cost us $20 to rig ours up with a thermostat.

    DIY Walk in Cooler Design

    I'm toying with the idea of possibly doing a Coolbot controller on a A/C unit for a seasonal walk-in cooler. Curious if folks here have done such a thing and I'd love to see pictures and hear budget numbers and money saving ideas.

    DIY Walk in Cooler Design

    That coolbot seems expensive. I’ve seen some other instructions out there for gutting an old fridge and adding some cheap components to control humidity, temp, and airflow. This was for an interest in making charcuterie, but could work well for just dry aging meat. Google around some for “diy...

    DIY Walk in Cooler Design

    Turned an old tool trailer into a walk-in cooler using the Coolbot. It works awesome. Never had a problem keeping it down around 35 degrees. I put 4” of foam insulation on the walls and then had someone spray-foam the floor, ceiling, and a thin coat on the walls to seal them up. I can’t remember...

    DIY Walk in Cooler Design

    There was a previous thread in which I commented. I turned a space in my shop to a walk-in fridge/freezer using a/c unit and Coolbot. I am able to maintain a temp of 34 degrees. The point was a place to hang quarters and give me more flexibility when processing instead of being frantic to get it...

    DIY Walk in Cooler Design

    Just doesn't work the same. Just buy a used walk-in cooler. You can seriously find them cheap if you are willing to travel a little bit. Look for restaurant closing auctions - some online some in person. I have bought a freezer and 2 walk in coolers doing this. Both coolers I got for $500...

    Meat-hanging shed questions

    Hard pass...your wife will use that thing to hang your hide when she smells the place and sees blood stains on everything. Build something similar line it with something you can hose down and sanitize. Then run a coolbot in it

    Meat-hanging shed questions

    Joke's on me, as now I have an extra cord or two of wood to collect each year, plus a second fire to tend. The sauna is glorious, though. I got the idea from the Finns, who would historically use the sauna for bathing, birthing, cleaning the dead, drying or hanging meat, if I understand...

    Homemade walk in cooler

    IF I get the outbuilding I'd like to have, I may dedicate a corner to one. I've read good things about the coolbot.

    DIY Walk In Cooler

    I will be getting into a new house in the spring with a 24x48 shop. I already have insulation, CoolBot, and ac unit purchased for my future walkin. I am thinking about adding a 6X8 lean to off the back of the shop to house the walk in cooler. The main reason for that is the floor is heated in...

    DIY Walk In Cooler

    ...2 x 4 walls sprayed with closed cell...about 2". Installed 2" foam board over all surfaces to include the slab. Purchased a 12000 btu a/c unit and hooked up the coolbot. Works like a charm. Got the first critter in there a couple days ago. A few minor gadgetry adjustments but otherwise good...

    Cool Bot Walk In

    The coolbot works great, we have one on the ranch we manage. The cooler is only a 4x10 metal add on the back of the barn. Little insulation and it gets down to lower 30's pretty easy on not so hot days.

    Metal Building with Butchering Shop

    I would sure lobby hard for a small walk in maybe along that back wall, and have lots of enclosed shelves on the walls. A Coolbot and even a 4x10 ' area would work very well and minimal insulation would be required. I would point out how much cleaner your processing area will be if you have a...

    Homemade walk in cooler

    Any of you built a small walk in cooler? I’m thinking about building an 8x8 cooler and using a coolbot with a window air conditioner. We do enough of our own butchering that I think it would be pretty handy. Plus can use for storage when not needing it for cooler. Have any pictures of your...
