taffygun Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hypothetical question at this point but Is there any reason why a normal domestic Tall Larder Fridge (with all shelves taken out) wouldn't be suitable as a makeshift game larder for pheasants, deer etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - suspect he just wanted an insulated box in which to put warm game/venison so it can fester and go off If you're using a normal fridge you'll prob need to wire up a small fan to circulate the air otherwise the carcases will be prone to mould. Plenty of people use them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytie Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I got a pepsi chiller, works for deer or game. Don't bunch the birds up, leave it so air can circulate. Simples! ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffygun Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Cheers fellas, i'm not 100% but I think this larder fridge had built in circulation I can only forsee one deer at a time being hung in it and it would only be overnight at most. I'm not one for allowing meat to hang for days, don't fancy that I don't do any pheasant shooting but if I do happen to get the 3 or 4 a year that I do I always prepare as soon as I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macnab Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Not beyond the wit of man but you will need to make sure you can put a strong enough hook or rail near the top to hang the carcass from, and if there's no fan you will need to keep changing the air by opening the fridge door. There is no problem with hanging the meat for several days. Just make sure it is in its jacket. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
