I decided to wire a plug inside each freezer as well as put the top shelf back in so I can make my starters in them as well. After putting the top shelf in, it was obvious that a 2000 ml flask sitting on top the stir plate would not fit on the shelf - so I did surgery on the stir plate to make it install through the grating.

see, you are great, but you are making me feel WEAK! I was planning on putting my stir plate into my ale freezer (and I'm using 7 and 5 gallon carboys, rather than conicals). I had thought of maybe just cutting an extension cord and pushing it through the icemaker hole where my other wiring ran (full of great stuff now, but I can push through I bet), then rewiring the cord on the outside, and plugging it in, so I'd have the other end in the freezer for the stir plate.
then you go and wire a real wall outlet on the inside of the freezer... that runs it's fan and lights even when not cooling... If you lived nearby I'd have to pay homage with beer.
I have that freezer too. I cut the shelves off the door to accommodate a 14 gallon Blichmann, but just left the cardboard in place with foam behind it. Yours looks much nicer. I am starting to brew some warm fermenting Belgians and need to get heat into the unit too. I have Love's on my hot side of the brewery and would like to have them on the freezer too. Tell me if this logic works. Use a SPDT switch to alternate between heating and cooling functions with the heat leg going to the dome lamp and the cooling leg to the compressor/coil. I would naturally have to switch modes on the Love too. I haven't opened mine up to look at wiring yet; Any specific recommendations appreciated.
Thanks
