awesome. welcome aboard neighbor. lol. hint griffins propane sells the propane freezers same model . they are expensive there but when add shipping from some websites it still slightly higher. have you thought of dc freezer? alternative energy had dc freezers you can run on solar. tell larry I sent you. lol
ArizonaHotHomestead I will! Lol we're saving up to get one of their big propane tanks they come and fill up monthly. I'll have to go in and see what they have. I actually wanted to ask you about solar. We have a small pannel now and when ever we get clouds it doesnt charge at all. Do your pannles charge even on cloudy days?
yes. some panels on cloudy days dont do well but most well. i dont remember the difference but the condition of the panel plus type of panel matters. Larry can go into the details (alternative energy)
Tried propane here in the Mojave desert but was very disappointed. Finally bought an electric refrigerator and freezer that works well. I have 2600 watts of solar and a modern split phase inverter. I actually run the freezer on a timer during nighttime. No problems, freezer keeps the cold.
Yes, that was my issue. The refrigerator was using five gallons a week or sixty dollars a month. The electric fridge cast a little more than three hundred and I spent eight hundred on additional panels to be on the safe side. However this fridge has been running for about seven years now. I’ve actually saved over four thousand dollars in that time.
that could save you a lot of spoilage and a mess to deal with if power is out to long. i dont like the expense of propane . some day i was thinking going with a solar freezer .
your welcome.... the hybrid appliances can be costly but i think the options you get in the long run makes it worth it. i havent yet but i plan on putting that freezer on its own solar power. that will be nice no more checking the propane level.
have you thought about getting some those 3-4" thick foam insulation panels and putting them around the freezer to see if it helps? or, maybe just laying a couple of thick wool blankets over it to help with insulation? and is -6 degrees common for a freezer? seems like +20 should even work!
+davidgriffin14 I have thought of a blanket and the foam but I also want to see how it does without. I am thinking going 1 full year propane, 1 full year solar and add the blanket or foam and do the same. I right now with outdoor temps between 30 and 70 I am getting over 30 days of use from a 40lb tank (7.3ish gallons) and inside temp around 0. 20 degrees and 0 or minus the difference to me is a harder more solid freeze I would say once everything is totally frozen keeping it around 20 makes sense but I have always like the idea of freezer to be below 10 and a frig to be 35 to 40. I like your thoughts thanks.
@@ArizonaHotHomestead Have you done ANY UPDATES on your setup, here in North Florida with power outages I'd like to have the same, and would use for emergencies, would like to know HOW LONG the tall slender tanks 100 lb??? would last, and would want a solar setup & battery storage that would last the same
@@REVNUMANEWBERN i can into a problem. mice ate some wiring so it doesnt work now. i have to replace some of the wiring but the company has been difficult to work with in getting parts.

How is the freezer holding up? Is it still working good? I'm looking at wanting to get a propane freezer we currently have two propane refrigerator freezers small ones but I'm wanting to get strictly a propane packed freezer. Yeah it's nice to be able to run off a solar on some of that but they tend to not last there is long the DC compressors that is compared to the propane. There is no moving parts on the propane refrigerators to speak of either so that's why I'm liking to get a freezer and I've been playing with the propane refrigerators for several years now and really like them
@@ArizonaHotHomestead how often do you have to defrost it? I know I have seen some things complaining about the fins being on the inside of a freezer and creating issues but wasn't sure how it worked that way. And is there a possibility of turning it up so that you could use it as a refrigerator and keep it around 35° or so? Thanks
Good vid and info. The updates your planning are a great idea also I just came across your channel looks like a lot of good info here so I gotta subscribe. Thanks!
+Hotflop2011 thanks and welcome aboard. so far I have been running the freezer only on propane a 40lb tanks is lasting 30 to 45 days depending on temps. I still have in the trailer. this summer will be interesting. I might move it and put it on solar. .
you should have bought a sun star solar powered freezer . besides, the back-up 110v heater for the system is only that, a backup and will only last maybe 9 months . its meant only til you get more l.p. a 100w solar panel cost only about $200
i like the options of propane or electric. i can set up solar only for this freezer and if i recall right the watts it needs is equivalent to other solar freezers.
I'll be moving to Arizona in another couple weeks to a self contained home there on solar, water haul, propane, septic. Thinking I'm going to need a propane freezer as the nearest town is going to be around 75 miles to the nearest "real" store. Buy in bulk is going to be a new norm for us soon. How is the quality of this brand? Are there some that use less propane/more efficient? Also will likely be getting another fridge as well. I don't think we'll be down to the temps you're talking about in Seligman but will be at some times of the year, I'm sure. Going to be a bit of an "adventure" with us going to solar power and the other differences than what we're use to but it will be worth ever inconvenience to get out of this comi state now.
You would be better getting a 500 lb tank that you can get filled monthly the propane co will come to you set it up and your monthly cost will be cheaper
this propane freezer is one of the best. you might also look into for the future freezers/frig that run on solar . the start up cost is more but it reduces the propane deliveries and you can use a propane generator to keep that solar freezer/frig going. . talk to local propane company about tank sizes depending on roads and weather there might be times they can not get in to fill your tank so going bigger as your main tank may be good. good luck to you
@@ArizonaHotHomestead that's good, I live in a remote area and I plan to get big freezer for meat and big gas bottle. Was concerned about the time it will last if it has to run 24/7. But it seems me it will make it to the next month. So I will give it a try.
thats all i did. you may have to buy a hose to make sure the fittings are correct otherwise its that simple. you do need small batteries for the igniter than just follow the directions on the freezer or in the paper work.
A standard deep freezer is 12v AC and near impossible to run off grid. That is unless you have a dual battery bank system and dual solar to charge the "day" usesage so its ran all night and charged during the day and its a night use battery pack only. That also being said you can not simply convert a compressor based deep freezer to propane without major changes to the freezer itself, which requires major cost and isnt a simple DIY project. Buying an already made propane freezer is the way to go for camping and off-grid living, sure it isnt cheap, but its living with out the grid attached structure that is the modern world.
Propane is heavier than air and pools on the floor I'd vent there but then you'd have to deal with more of your nemesis mice. I think if you insulated the heck out of that thing with styrofoam you may get even better results especially in the summer months.
I did a little video with info on all that.... I bought it from menards the company is a Canadian company. the freezer runs on propane or 120volts. . I have been having some 90 degree days so it might be a good idea to do a updated review on it.... thanks for watching.
Power company? i am my own power company. the nearest power line from any company is over 3 miles away. i run on solar and a generator for backup power.
@Passed High School Physics - He's off grid. Also, this particular freezer not only runs on propane but also runs on standard (us) 110-115v. Most people buy them so if/when there's a power outage, they can flip a switch on the freezer and keep right running the freezer on propane, so that during the outage they will have food on hand and/or not lose the $food$ to spoilage :)
That translates to about $400/year to keep running. . . Hmmmmm. Thanks for the info, it helps in deciding which way to go. Interesting to find that an 8 Trojan battery system run from a Non-Honda generator is coming out to be more cost effective than a solar system for us up to 17 years which is the break even. That's without adding in the convenience of never having a "cloudy" week. Did figure replacing generator every 3 years, fuel and inflation, electronics, 240v AC available for welder, maintenance, battery replacement at listed cycles, wiring, fuel storage and stabilization, remote start, generator shack, transportation, inflation etc. . . Only thing is it would only be good for a year in a zombie apocalypse. We have grid power but was looking into the off grid option, our power rates do not make either option financially productive. Grid power is relatively cheap.
you gave it lots of thoughts, nice. my nearest powerline is over a mile away. besides its nice not having monthly bills. the start up cost is the killer. my batteries should last 20yrs.
@@ArizonaHotHomestead I hear ya about no monthly bill but I just cant get past the fact that a generator is cheaper to 17 years than solar AND the convenience of being able to power a welder or any hi-amp tool whenever I want.

2 Esdras 7:75 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 ////////////
Solar is a good option, but its not cheaper then using the grid. Sun is not free, panels are not cheap, batteries need to be replaced, every 5 years. If you live in cold a climate place. You have to deal with snow, weak winter sun, and batteries that need to stay warm. Places where it gets real hot, also damage batteries. The good news is solar panels have come down in price big time. The main component in them is silver, and they have found ways to use less, and less of it. Lead acid batteries will still be the main choice, since the other ones like lithium, are still way too much money.
Perkunas T good points I current live on solar no grid power within 2 miles from me. solar batteries actually with proper care should last 20 yrs mine have a 10yr warranty. your right the cold does effect them so far mine have gotten no colder then 50 degrees even when outside had hit single digits. I am loving the solar

78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

.
26 days 1 40lb tank is a lot of $$$, i think kerosene is cheaper.
dont think kerosene will work . some day i will have it on solar
Solar is a good option, but its not cheaper then using the grid. Sun is not free, panels are not cheap, batteries need to be replaced, every 5 years. If you live in cold a climate place. You have to deal with snow, weak winter sun, and batteries that need to stay warm. Places where it gets real hot, also damage batteries.
The good news is solar panels have come down in price big time. The main component in them is silver, and they have found ways to use less, and less of it. Lead acid batteries will still be the main choice, since the other ones like lithium, are still way too much money.
Perkunas T good points I current live on solar no grid power within 2 miles from me. solar batteries actually with proper care should last 20 yrs mine have a 10yr warranty. your right the cold does effect them so far mine have gotten no colder then 50 degrees even when outside had hit single digits. I am loving the solar
Blablablabla
