Start by removing all the unnecessary parts, keeping only the frame and the door of the refrigerator. Take out the freezer compartment and drill a hole to install a pipe that will ensure good air circulation.

Drill another hole at the bottom of the refrigerator and remove the fiberglass insulation.

Instead of completely removing the doors, drill a hole in each one to insert a glass pane. Secure the glass in place, add some foam insulation, and then use a torch to melt and solidify the insulation.

Finally, cover the openings with fine mesh, which will allow air to circulate freely while preventing insects from entering.

And here’s the result: a homemade solar dryer, perfect for drying fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, and many other foods. This simple yet highly effective solution will make your old refrigerator essential for your outdoor activities!
