Yeah we use 2x6s to make our riser and found that we should have used 2x8 or 2x10s instead. I have also heard of people drilling through the freezer by using milk or some kind of glue/paste to find the coils. Then drilling between the coils. But I would rather drill through the wood riser and...

I'm in for free goods

One cleaned up well and had no contamination but the other got contaminated again so I will be cleaning again!
