Hello from (starting to be) humid Central Ohio!
Did a search and didn't find an answer so here goes:
I want to store some powder and primers in a shed toward the back of my property rather than having it in my basement. I have a full-size, vertical freezer as well as a 4.3 cubic foot refrigerator that I could use. I could put the freezer and/or the refrigerator in the shed, and potentially plug the refrigerator in and keep it on a low setting. My questions are:
1) Is there a problem with primers and powder being in a working refrigerator (set on the lowest/least cool) setting? The threads I've read seem to mention unplugged refrigerators...other than the electricity costs, is there a reason why a working fridge would be a bad idea (with a big box of dessicant in it?) It gets pretty warm and humid here (I've got stuff in sealed containers with dessicant right now in the shed but it's already warm) so I'm wanting to keep them cool, but not all in my house.
2) Do unplugged refrigerators, freezers, etc. moderate temperatures enough that they stay cool enough in hot weather? In other words, will having them unplugged keep the stuff cool enough?
Any advice, thoughts, etc. would be appreciated.
Thanks
