I agree, we should quantify the performance as we go so we can have more
confidence in our conclusions. If possible, each participant should
obtain a thermometer that can be used inside of the fridge. There are
some made for this exact purpose. I have one permanently stuck to the
inside of mine so I can see how cool things are. It cost about $5 a
couple of years ago. I looked for them at the same store last week but
no luck. If anyone finds a likely model at a common retail outlet, let
everyone know. Mine is a Frig-o-Gage II, scaled from -40 to +120 F. I
have another one stuck to the inside of the vanagon, just behind the
passengers head. We will want to standardize on the location where our
measurements are to be taken but first we need the thermometers.
