Am I the only one who thinks this is just hilariously idiotic?

I kind of forgot to point out that I am actually storing the food outside BUT inside the fridge. Under a roof where it is pretty cool most of the year.

I think you invented a root celler that uses electricity to heat the outside.

Kind of... Maybe... I never did the math or monitor consumption. The cooling cycles of the compressor are much shorter, that I can tell for sure.

Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.
