Hello Kin & Garth In our country where there is no electric grid avalable, it is standard the use of a refrigerator using Ammonia and Hidrogen as the refrigerating agents and a burner as energy source, using as fuel LPG o Kerosene as the combustion material. You might change the burner for those big ones prepared for veg oil or BioD instead and. Regards.

If someone would be kind enough to share the information on how this list is set up, I would love to move my lists to elsewhere, too. I have been doing a great deal of research since my post much earlier this summer about how to preserve the harvest. I have discovered lacto fermented vegetables which are quite wonderful. The problem is now that instead of needing a bunch of freezers, I need a bunch of refrigerators. I have also acquire a Jersey cow name Carol, so I now make cheese that needs to be aged. The long term storage temperature needs to be below 50F. For corning beef and other things I need below 40F but above 32F [0 C]. I have a high water table so I can only go down 4 feet and the ground is 65F at this depth. I do make use of this for cooling my buildings, but this is a far way from the root cellar I need. My water comes out of the ground at 80F so it is no help. We really do need to go off grid so I am really trying to keep my power consumption to a minimum. Root cellaring sounds so wonderful, but I have yet to figure out how to do it in a hot humid climate. Any suggestions?
