Steve --among others-- is apparently working very hard to make it to the
top of the next statistics... :) So, in a desperate attempt to remain among
the top 20 big-mouths, here's my question/comment of the day:

I had the same idea. (BTW, I cut out the ad from a magazine but then lost it.
Does anyone have a phone#?) Anyway, I'd like to replace my non-working
fridge with this contraption, but would like to keep the propane stove
above. So there might be 2 solutions: either hope that the koolatron is
small enough to fit in place of ye olde fridge, OR transplant the
cooling mechanism/plumbing of the koolatron only. 

Do those who now own one think that this is possible? Also, would you know
its outside dimensions?

Thanks,

Sami
