Depending on what temp you are attempting to obtain I would suggest a 10-12k minimum. My main goal on my coolers is to run between 32-36 degrees, for meat storage. Check out the STC3008 video for a great controller as well

One of the major factors is BTU's for the size of the box. Most dial knob style A/C units are 5-6000btu maximum. How big is the cooler?

@@scottharrison1489 I am planning on doin one around r25-30 inside my already spray foamed r-15 shop. My plan was a small 4wx6lx8h and already have a turn knob 5,000btu. I wasnt sure if it would work for that space? Thank you for your response.

@@guy-vp5fo On a cooler that size I would use a 10-12k btu A/C unit

@@z3phyrdok Most a/c unit of this size draw about 1500watts maybe 3-3500 on compressor start up. The compressor on most of my coolers run for short cycles every 10-20 minutes to keep the box at an average temp.

@@rchunter5061 Dont know the best way to connect. On facebook?

So the replacement blue side still will not go below zero. I switched the sensor in the evap to the #2 and use the blue for the ambient temp in the walk in. It seems to be working and getting close to 34 F degrees. Thanks again for the info.

@@jerrywilliams2820 Are you using a STC3008? I've had lots of interest on the STC, Ill try and get around to the video this week. I sure hope they havent change the unit. I know I simply held the Red side down during programming and mine goes below zero.

Yes, that is the unit I got off of Amazon. The left side goes below zero, the right side goes to zero and stops.

@@jerrywilliams2820 Ill have to check tonight

Just checked both go below zero..

@@jerrywilliams2820 Hey Jerry check out my programming video

Surf my video I have a videos of how to wire these controllers, I'll add a video on how to program the STC3008 shortly

Yes I have individually wired the compressor and the fan separately on a couple units I have built. I did find that the Inkbird relays are a little on the weak side though.

@scottharrison1489 thank you Scott. If the inkbirds are weak I'll try to find something stronger. Thank you for posting. Love your site.

@@genelaws3044 Do NOT BUY the Everwell 1609-101 they are junk. Im currently testing one of the STC3008.

@scottharrison1489 thank you Scott. I'm project I'm currently doing for the first time is the window ac converting for walk in cooler. I removed the electronics. My line coming 230v has a white black and green wires. My compressor had the standard three wires C R and Herm. I need to wire in the capacitor. I'm really not sure about the line wires in where they should be placed. I have the compressor red wire to herm, white to common and green to ground. Being a 230v ac I'm having trouble finding the correct capacitor wiring. Basic question I have two hots in the line circuit and need to wire the compressor, capacitor and fan. Do you have a schematic for this type of wiring. Hope you can help in stuck.... Thomas in Columbus

@@genelaws3044 What type of A/C unit? I think you find if you remove the cover that there should be a wiring diagram somewhere on the unit, or good old interweb..

You could use 2 inkbirds to perform the same task. I have seen the relays fail in them. Please note Im just testing the controllers Im using in the video and not sold on their performance yet

@@scottharrison1489 Hi! Thanks for the reply, the thing is, I am here with the inkbird and an a/c unit and just want to make it go as cool as possible, that's all.

@@maddog45auto66 I have, the inkbird relays dont hold up under constant use on larger A/C units. Maybe something smaller but have been bitten more that once by them.

This grinder absolutely turn harder bones to a paste. Only issue which I haven't had time to work on is it does leave some larger pieces. Chicken and lamb bone can be ground in a conventional meat grinder for smaller scale

@@scottharrison1489 Can I ask where you got it? I’m in Texas and have been looking for a similar machine. Any info helps out. Thank you Scott

@@notevenadoctor I purchased used, oversea manufacture for sure. I have seen similar units on various site.

Hey thanks! Glad you like them. Im wayyyy on the West Coast of Canada. Best bet it a drive out into the country or a local meat cutter. Build yourself a smoke easier than ya think.

Sure what do you need to know? Send me an email address and I can touch base with you.

@@scottharrison1489 not sure but I dont think it is allowing my message with my email to go through?

@@scottharrison1489 what is your email? Maybe it will let you send yours, and I can email you?

@@shenandoahvalley440 are you running one or two controllers?

@@scottharrison1489 one to the lamp which tricks the ac to run to temp desired. I want to hardwire the compressor to eliminate the bulb risk of not working

Hey, check in my video's there is start to finish for this method. This set up was to prove a fact. I built 2 coolers using this method, it does work. I would suggest if you are building a cooler for long term use and ease of use find a controller such as the sf-104 or the stc-3008 they both have 2 temp probes one for the evaporator and one for room. I would suggest this method th-cam.com/video/mt8b_GfLwAw/w-d-xo.html You should be able to use a 15k 120 volt unit for your cooler.

Not really, built it out of stuff I had kicking around, 1/3 120volt old furnace motor. Princess Auto had the following 120 reversing switch, 90 degree 100-1 gear reduction box, 3/4" keyed shaft and keyway stock, shaft collars. I used a SnapOn 1/2 to 5/8 square drive socket. All the brackets are 3" angle iron
