Need advice please

Welcome aboard, Julio! I’m just the forum moderator here, but I try to help people…OK? First off I’m not familiar with your term of your equipment being called a horizontal freezer. To my way of thinking a freezer FREEZES “stuff” and that is too cold to dry age meat. So rather than to address your other questions let’s start there. Now your turn! BTW I’m here in the USA and as I post it is 9:22 PM and I go to bed early like 10 PM so if you reply, please don’t think I’m avoiding you!

I used the RANCO ATC to control the temperature on my under the counter fridge.

My friends who do home brewing have since been told that this unit will also work on a freezer.

It’s a pretty straight forward set up. There are two RANCO’s models available one for a few dollars less requires you wire in the cables yoursefl, or for a few dollars more you can get the RANCO with the plug and cable all wired up.

1) set the freezer to the coldest setting.
2) plug the freezer into the RANCO unit
3) Plug the RANCO into the wall outlet.
4) Run the RANCO temp probe into the freezer. You can run this between the frigde and door

Now just simpley set the temperature on the RANCO Unit that you want to have the freezer set at and what diferential you prefer (the margin of temperature flux you want before the Ranco turns the compressor on.) I have mine set for 36 degrees +- 2 degrees.

I wish I knew that a freezer would have worked before I bought my under the counter fridge, as freezers were significantly less $$ money than a quality fridge.
