I thought with so many in this forum who use firewood to heat their homes, perhaps a few of you might also be a little more electrically independent by also using a propane fridge in the kitchen. I'm looking to replace our electric fridge with a propane model, 15-18 cu ft, and get away from very high electricity bills from the Upper Peninsula Power Company, as well as the worry about power outages. I've switched all other appliances from electricity to propane, with only the fridge left.
I know a propane fridge is costly, won't cool hot items as quickly as an electric one, and there also some issues of sooty exhaust in a kitchen over time. Have even seen some dual purpose electric/propane models, but they appear to be 10cu ft or less.
Suggestions or experiences/lessons learned?
Thank you in advance. (Moderator - if there's a better place for this, please feel free to move it!)
