I always just run my fridge on gas, even when plugged in.. Just cools better overall for me and I'd rather have the flame instead of a glow plug doing the work..
Just what I do and it works for me.. Don't care what other's do, nor what they think I should do.. :)
Good luck!

People can do what they want as you stated. Just because they can does not make them an expert at how they do things. Your idea is wrong. It is NOT just a "Glow Plug". But, you do what you want and waste money on LP when in most cases your Electricity is part of your CG fee, so on 120 your refer runs for "free". There is NO way for anybody to actually determine that LP works better than 120 and vice versa. Doug
Hi Doug. I did just say it's "what works for me".. Not that I ever claimed to be an "expert" in any way in my post either..
I also have one of those fridges that was recalled for the electric element causing the pipes to crack and leak out the stuff, either causing a fire, or rendering your fridge useless..
And all the recall did was put in some sheet metal to divert the leaking stuff away from the flame if it did crack.. Not fix the actual issue itself, which was too hot of an electric element.
I use more gas to fire up the BBQ for a couple of steaks than the fridge would use over a whole long weekend trip.. No big deal in the grand scheme of things as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks,
Mitch
