Re: [Killietalk] fridge cooling of worms

[Ken Simolo <Simolo at chem_chem.rochester.edu>]

Hi Earl,

They also make a plug in thermostat that you plug the power cord of 
your refrigerator into and then an external probe is placed inside 
the refrigerator.  The thermostat then has a power cord that plugs 
into the wall.  These allow you to run the refrigerator at a warmer 
temperature.  They are probably listed in Graingers, MSC, or McMaster 
Carr catalogs.  It is not as nice as having a wine cooler to begin 
with but at least you can use what you already have.
