We're thinking of buying a cabin in the woods. There is no electricity
available and I do not want a generator to take care of. I know there are
a variety of propane-fueled refrigerators on the market and most are quite
expensive. Does anyone have experience with any of these?

There's no problem in selecting a gas range without electric starters, and
there's an artesian well on the property with enough pressure to bring
water into the house, albeit, not normal water pressure.

If we can solve the refrigerator issue, we'll be on our way.

Thanks,
Wayne

we have a small fridge/freezer that runs off bottled gas and it has
proven to be invaluable over the years.it also runs off electricity
and a car lighter too. we used it to go camping all over Europe for
about seven years and now we use it to keep the beer and wine cold for
the summer barbies. was a very good buy.

Try calling Lehmans Non Electric (they cater to the amish). They may be
able to refer you to customers.

Go to your local RV dealer. They probably can help you out with refrigeration.
We rented an RV with gas refrigeration some years ago...and as I recall it did
ok...but don't believe that it made ice.

Glad to know they're reliable. I'm looking for something full-size,
however, but I'm sure they work the same way.

Thanks,

Thanks, Roland. Actually, I've been to Lehman's many times when I still
lived in Ohio. Unfortunately, although I looked with curiosity at the
gas refrigerators, I wasn't in the market for one then and didn't ask
questions. Good point about asking them for customer references.

Thanks,
Wayne

Yes, an RV dealer might be a good reference point. Actually, the full size
refrigerators do indeed make ice, although not with an "ice-maker".

From what I understand, many of them are multi-fuel; e.g., propane,
kerosene, electricity, etc.

Thanks,
Wayne

You can look at them at almost any large RV store. They come in a wide
variety of sizes, and as you've already noted, they are somewhat expensive.
Good luck.
