re: Let's talk generator operation at night

If you have ice blocks in the fridge, it will last for a days, literally. I have a couple 2-gallon buckets that I throw in there to keep it cold. A couple 15 pound solid blocks of ice would last through way beyond the night, and it will cool again when you run it during the day. You could keep this up indefinitely while you have fuel. Freezers are more efficient then you think. Heck, an ice chest would last through the night easily with ice blocks.

I've dumped regular cheap ice chests days after a party and still had a ton of ice in it. It's all about the volume of ice you have in there. You can also toss a blanket or sleeping bag over the whole ice chest when you sleep at night. No problem.
