Great share ! Remember we are still providing parts and Larry is doing consultation

Environmental consciousness is beginning to seep into the marketplace for long-lasting durable goods. KSOR's Jeff Brady reports on one small company that is making big advances in the efficiency of the largest user of electricity in the household — the refrigerator.

Thank you so much to Jo Johnson in Oregon for the great feedback regarding Sun Frost:

Hello Matthew and Daniel,

I am very happy with your refrigerator. First off, the cabinet is very well built with good fit. It is very quiet and keeps produce insanely fresh even without packaging. Everything keeps for a much longer period than any refrigerator I’ve ever had. Has been hot here in southwestern Oregon (as you guys well know), and the unit is temporarily installed in our garage while we build a house and camp on our land, but ambient temperature swings faze it not at all.

Funny thing…since everything keeps longer I tend to have more food stored—wish I had gotten the 19 instead! Plus I do smell the food when I open the door—makes sense given there isn’t a ton of air circulating through it like a standard refrigerator (and some produce isn’t bagged), and I have to remind myself it is not from food going bad. Lastly, since the ice cubes are not being slightly thawed and frozen many times (dirty little secret of frost-free frigs), they are more easily broken out of the trays. Small but pleasant convenience.


Kudos,

Jo Johnson

The goal of this project was to cook a meal with as little wood as possible. Cooking is a basic human need; however, little work has been done on how to make this process truly efficient.

Cooking is a highly inefficient process whether it’s done in the developing world or in a modern home. If you’re cooking a meal and also heating up your kitchen is a good indicator of the inefficiency of the process. Your stove is then operating more as a room heater than a cooking device.
