Propane Cold Food Storage
When you have an off grid cabin and you are trying to assess your options for cold food storage, consider propane refrigerators and freezers. Propane appliances are a durable, long lasting and reliable cold food storage option for your off grid cabin. With propane refrigeration you don’t have to put a lot of time or energy into worrying if the appliance is doing a good job at prolonging the freshness of your food and keeping it from going to waste.
Gone are the days of being forced to use creative solutions for cold food storage such as cellar storage, using a river or lake to store food items under cool water, burying it underground or building an ice house. In comparison, propane refrigeration is convenient and cost effective. Most of us don’t mind a bit of hard work but we prefer modern day comforts while living off grid.
Solar Cold Food Storage
In consideration of off-grid cabin cold food storage, solar often comes up. If you already have a large solar system then a solar appliance can be a welcome option for you. However, if you have only a handful of solar panels you’ll want to use the power produced for essential electronics such as lights. If you do not have an established solar system then it can be cost prohibitive. This is why we mention propane refrigerators as the ideal refrigeration solution when you are off-grid. Solar refrigerators and freezers deserve mention, they are excellent units and are very efficient but they are suitable for those that have a significant existing solar set up.
Solar vs Propane
In our previous article we go much more in depth into propane vs solar.
An off-grid propane refrigerator is a very practical option. Propane fridges are known for the flexibility and versatility of being off-grid and yet providing the modern comfort we crave. Propane refrigerators are not reliant on traditional electricity power sources, nor do they require a hefty investment into setting up a new solar system.
As we mentioned earlier solar power can be cost prohibitive to off-grid cabin owners. If you have it, you would definitely want to use that investment and run your appliances on your solar set up. Run your appliances on it only if you have the battery power to support it. Most regions have a lot of rainy days. Take into consideration the average days of sun and make sure you have enough battery back up so your solar refrigerator and freezer are able to run.
Inclement weather conditions
Regardless of what power source you are using, when living in an off-grid cabin you have to factor in and plan for inclement weather conditions. Plan for the likelihood of being snowed in, or rained out. Most often off-grid means remote. How is your region? How are the roads after heavy storms? Can you make supply runs or do you need to plan for long term self sufficiency?
If you are running on a solar system what do you do when the sun doesn’t make an appearance? How long will your solar batteries last? Do you need a backup generator? Fuel for the generator? For how long? These are all items worth considering.
With propane, the daily fuel usage is minimal but you definitely need to factor in how long a tank of propane will last you. Check out our write up where we break down the daily costs for you. The low cost of running a propane refrigerator makes it a viable choice for most off-grid cabin owners and the weather doesn’t affect its performance at all.
