It won't cost me more to bottle my food because I'm just simply not buying a new fridge. It's not a matter of removing it it's a matter of not forking out the money to buy it.
My main source of fuel in TN is going to be wood so it won't cost me much there either. I'm also looking into stuff like wood gasification to power a small generator that's grid-tied.
I'm going to need to get a fridge at some point though, but I'm wanting to get a propane fridge and see about running it off of a friction heater and a gravity motor. If I can get it to work it will cool the fridge with no power at all.
I had a gravity motor working somewhat I few years ago, it wasn't anything big but just something for testing the concept. From what I understand a friction heater just needs to be spun to produce a good quantity of heat.
