You may want to fill some milk jugs with water and place inside the Danby filling the dead space as they will stay cold longer than air. A box fan placed by the unit to insure air circulation may not be a bad idea as well. And keep the opening and closing of the door to a minimum.
Thanks for the info Psychodad! Gonna do the resistor mod tonight, and the rest later. How much insulating do you think will be needed? I mean it gets HOT in the summer here in Memphis. would something like a waterheater blanket do any good? wont look the best, but cold beer is the point here, right?
