Fridge Data Revisted [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Thanks to all who have sent me their fridge data.  I'm still working on a
very detailed comparision.  kWh/cu ft is the main piece of data I'm going
after.  I'll convert that into btu's/cu. ft so we can compare propane models
also.  I still don't have enough to write up much of a report so get those
Brand meters on your fridges and get me some data.  I'd really like some
info on propane units and still have very little sunfrost data.

Thanks
