OK to use a freezer for drying chamber conversion?
Posted: Fri Oct 18, 2013 11:29 pm
Now that I'm getting more ambitious (I want to make a ham) and also want to start making stinky cheese I've outgrown the little wine fridge I've been drying meats in.
I've got a full size upright freezer I'm not using. Is there any reason this shouldn't work to make a drying chamber? I plan to rig a thermostat and hygrostat up like this.
My (limited) understanding is that a freezer is just a fridge with more horsepower, but maybe there's some humidity control stuff that would be a problem?
Thanks for any insight.
