paraffin refigerator?
 
My propane refrigerator worked well once I corrected deficiences of the
builder. They need a certain ammount of cooling air, even aided by a small
fan.

Ahoy, I'm reading the Hiscock's account of their early '60's
Wanderer IV journey in which he describes their refer unit as "a
paraffin unit which costs pennies a day and makes no noise". Man, that
sounds good to me. Even makes ice. Since they're English paraffin is
similar to kerosene? What's the scoop? The solutions for small
sailboats I've seen were 12vdc and sucked an easy 5 watts while
rattling for hours.

Mine was Electrolux, but Dometic is more common here.

I've finished the book. It's specified in the back as an Electrolux
absortion type refer which burns less than a gallon of paraffin per
week. Thanks for the ideas.
