How Keep Your Freezer Cold for Days Without Power

Although the video script sounds like it was written by AI, it’s solid advice. And, while you really only need to watch roughly the first half of the video to get the details, I suggest watching through to the end so you understand why it’s best to pair the recommendations in the first half of the video with a properly-sized power station for maximum performance.

Perhaps the only two caveats I would include:

  • I don’t recall mention of using 2-liter soda bottles for adding thermal mass as easily the best, free option because they’re sturdy, and if rinsed out, will contain potable water when needed.
  • The recommendation to include a thermometer with an alarm is good, but finding a wireless option where the base unit is battery-powered, and that doesn’t need plugged into an outlet, is becoming more difficult; I’ve been on the lookout for one in recently months but can’t find anything I like. Regardless, you can certainly find standalone battery-powered thermometers if all you need is something to monitor the chest freezer’s temperature.

    I have 4 small freezers and today. I use these instead of one huge freezer so if I lose one, there will be room in the others to store the contents while I get a new one and if I don’t notice it is damaged, I won’t lose everything I have frozen.
    I did have one empty for backup but I have shopped and filled that one.
