Defrosting isn't a big deal. You can rinse the chest freezer and drain it
long before anything has defrosted. It's nice have either a garage or a
basement to do this in.

Oh, I was under the impression that you -- or was it someone else -- were
looking for an auto defrost.

I think when I defrost mine, I will have most everything used up, and make
sure my other freezer will be clear enough to handle what was in the chest
freezer. I don't know what the cf is of my other freezer is, but it's a
sub-zero, large enough.

Right now, I'm trying to get most of the meat out of the chest freezer, so I
can start afresh, not because it needs defrosting, but food in a chest
freezer can certainly get lost.
