and a desire to use the fridge they already own for summertime?

i did that with a stone kitchen with exterior insulation, opening the door
to the rest of the house to keep it about 36 f in the winter. the fridge
rarely ran. my barn fridge gets unplugged from october through march, with
an eh38 "easy heat" socket ($10.99 at lowe's) in series with a 100 w trouble
light in a bottom drawer to keep the carrots and apples from freezing.
