Where I live solar is completely unfeasible (at a reasonable cost)
3.5 months of the year. There is light, but the light is so weak that
you get about 5%-10% of full capacity. Sun rises at around 8 or 9 and
goes down at 15-16.

Yeah, not viable really.

For now we tested the chest freezer.  Echoflow River 4 (hope I got that
right) can run that freezer for 2 days with no other load.  I have 2 of
them.  They are fast charging too so takes only 1 hour to charge to
100%.  Right now the 2nd one is testing how long it holds a charge.  3
weeks now and no dicernable loss.  I could run a crockpot practically
forever on it.

It may not have been obvious but I've been testing recipes based only
on water, broth powders, dried spices and canned goods and have several
good ones.  It's just for fun hopefully but it's also nice to know.  I
haven't posted all of them because some folks here are too critical
about cans other than tomatoes for some reason.

Next one will be checking Spam recipes.  Since Don and I like Spam,
it's an obvious angle to look at.  I worked out a canned chicken
tortilla soup already.

My 'Something new' also encompasses recipes.  Some of them use my own
dehydrated apples from the 2 trees glut of a crop.
