Anyone know of an upright freezer that is big enough for a conical, has removable shelves, and is manual defrost?

Some upright freezers have refrigeration coils attached to the shelves, rendering them useless for our purposes. I know from experience.

I use one.  It has been long enough ago that it will probably do you no good to tell you the model.  I just went in to Sears with a tape measure and began measuring interiors.  The other thing to look for is a flat floor.  Many freezers / fridges have a raised area toward the back.  Another thing: if you plan to insert a wires for heat and a temperature probe, be very careful as some put cooling pipes in the walls as well.  I drilled through where the rack support indents were and didn't run into anything.
