IMPROVISE; Winter Refrigerator

When the temperature falls, my insulated pantry closet will be cool too.
It's the size of a fridge, with 2" rigid foam insulation it uses a circulating pump to push Prestone Antifreeze thru 1/2" copper in a circuit from the outside radiator loops to the inside cooling loops.

The best thing is winter is just the time when you want a bigger fridge, and it's practically free to operate.

My old fridge is an energy pig, we are looking for the lowest Kw hours model to replace it, probably a bit smaller one too, since we have the cold pantry.

The old freezer on the porch trick works well too. Now I need to get my hunting license and fill it full of geese & ducks this fall.
