I woulda been tempted to jackhammerMany years ago, in a blue city to the west, a friends uncle gave him cash to stock his freezer. Interestingly he actually spent most of the cash on hamburger and bacon and only reserved a portion for his beer fund.
As time went buy he ran out of bacon in the refrigerator and went to the freezer to restock the fridge. When he opened the freezer he realized things were amiss when he was assailed with the putrid stink of rotten meat.
Being a collage student with little time to spare between his academic and drinking schedules he determined that the situation would require considerable thought and planning and being that the issue was in a containment vessel there was no reason to rush, so he went for a (few) drink (s).
Time passed (months) until his friends decided to address the issue and remove the freezer. That was when he discovered that the freezer had been in place before a room had been added to the house and the freezer would not fit thru the new doors. Did we mention that this was an old ammonia based freezer?
Long story short, using borrowed fire department breathing apparatus, the rotten meat slurry had to be scooped out in buckets and hauled outside for placement in a 55 gallon drum for disposal.
After the muck was removed and with the continued use of the breathing apparatus and borrowed saws the freezer was cut in pieces small enough to remove.
Heating the freezer makes perfect sense.Another thing that most people fail to consider is that most freezers are not rated for use in non climate controlled environments . I learned this one the hard way. Any freezer that's out in the garage will likely be exposed to temperature fluctuations outside what their designed for. Most freezers are designed to operate at household room temperature.
Very few are rated for garage (outdoor) use (think ~ 0* f to 110* f) and many manufactures will not provide warranty coverage if its in the garage when the service man arrives.
We put in a new refrigerator the other week as the old one just died. It took about six days before it was delivered. Thank goodness we had little in the freezer and what was there we put on ice until the new one arrived. It was close, but the meat made it. It thawed a bit, but not bad.What do you do?
25 cubic feet of frozen food.
It is one thing if the power fails, but the chest freezer itself?
What to do?
Backup freezer? Costs twice as much and just sits there unused - or, full up and not usable as a backup.
Can't order/buy a replacement in time to save the food.
Cook it? Then what? Eat 25 CF of meat? Jerky? Not very likely to be able to jerk that much meat that quickly.
I saved the salmon and shrimp, but about 60% of the food can't be saved.
Ice cream lives matter, call me... 867-5201, save the ice cream!!!! i'm in.Throwing out ice cream.
Highschool me strongly dissagrees..

In how many days?I can eat 50 CF of hardboiled eggs.
One hour.In how many days?
I'll take that bet. 50 eggs ain't 50 cubic feet. I surely loved "Cool Hand Luke," a mighty fine movie.One hour.
