Chest freezers are an excellent option for hunters who prefer to store their kills in freezers or anyone seeking additional storage. These models are designed to be utilized in garages as well as outbuildings that are not heated. They can operate at much lower temperatures than fridge freezer, because they are positioned in areas where hot air rises and cold air is dropped.
