Title: Meat locker
Post by: Oh Mah on March 30, 2018, 10:35:57 AM: I see this topic being brought up every season,So i decided to put this out for any interested parties.

I built my own meat locker so i will store mine and my friend that helped build and pay for it.We bought a meat saw, grinder, tumbler and wrapping paper dispenser.Cheaper as a group and stored securely at locker.

It would be cool if people got together as a group and built their own meat locker on a buddies land and just split all the cost and labor,then a few would have a meat locker of their own to share when needed.A hefty locker could be complete for less than 2 grand easily,very secure.Could work together in all the processing as well with grinders and saws.Just an idea thrown out. :tup:

If you bear hunt august or deer hunt sept. it is a must. I don't charge for friends to hang their animals.....though quite often I am gifted a fifth of crown or case of quality beer. :tup: :tup:

He has a detached garage so we are gonna take part of it and turn it into a meat locker. Any suggestions on how big , or small to make it. I generally like to build things big but this project I would think a 8'×14' would be suitable. Any suggestions would be sweet. I have built a few wine cellars and probably gonna use the same methods as that.
