I just bought a new freezer. That makes two uprights and three chest freezers total. I need this many at different times of the year, and then slowly can and empty them. I have one full of beef, one chicken, one quick meals, and two for hunting. In January when hunting season is over, I will can the two freezers of deer, quail, duck and turkey. Once that is done I will probable can up some more of the chicken and beef too so I am not so reliant on the freezers. I have Five generators if needed so I don't worry about the power going out, if I thought it was going to be long term, I could keep them cold while I can everything in them. ( hubby uses four of those generators for work and one of them will run my whole house with air conditioners etc running)
