Subject:      Lighting Fridge
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Just got back from spending a fabulous four days and nights at a local state
park, grilling, kayaking,biking etc. While there I tried to light the fridge
using a tip somebody posted a while ago. I used an electric bicycle pump to
blow air into the drain valve underneath the fridge, and voila the thing lit
up right away. Cooled like a charm. So whoever posted that piece of advice,
thank you very much. BTW when we go on our trips in the summer I leave the
fridge on LPG; runs out of gas usually after two to three weeks, depending
on how much you cook on the stove.
Cheers,
