Chest Fridge

I was on a useful thread with some of my homesteading buddies earlier

this year. The discussion was about hacking chest freezers to be

refrigerators. Just swap out the thermostat with a $16 part and you

are done. My uber expensive energy star fridge/freezer sucks about

1.6kWhrs a day. That is disgusting when I could have bought a $200

chest freezer with a $16 thermostat modification and use only .1kWhrs

a day (16 times less energy per day). Tomorrow you could go and vote,

or you could do a real favor and hack a chest freezer so you stop

gobbling up so much juice. Some links:
