Been wanting an ice maker and they are so damn expensive. I think I'm going to give this a try shout out any ideas you think would improve on my redneck ice maker.

I thought of it the other day and then researched it online and have seen a few people who have done it but not a lot. I would think that letting the entire chest fill up with loose ice would lead to one giant block of ice. Did a quick search online and you can get new 20lb ice bags 500 count for around $30 dollars. Then just bag your own, my plan is to allow the ice to fill up a container then bag the ice. Might build a divider in the chest half filled with loose ice and the other half with bagged ice.

I call BULLSHIT!! There is no way you "gave" one away! Nice try, not buying it. Go troll somewhere else. Next you are going to tell us you dropped a quarter in a parking lot, when you pulled out your keys, and just left it. Yeah, right!!

My deep freeze is on -10. A chunk of ice like that lasts me about two weeks in my Coleman extreme. Temps in the 40's or 50's during day and 20's at night

That's the way ice used to come.
RonE probly has some stories of taking the horse and buggy into town to get his mammy a block of ice.

You live in Georgia, don't worry about a drain, just let it drain on the garage floor.
