Or even a gas one.

A very well-kitted neighbour had a thermosyphon one which ran on
paraffin.

Those were a right pain in the arse. The slightest problem and they
kept their contents warm rather than cold.

In Sa'udi I briefly stayed with a German survey crew who had one: every
time they pitched a new camp, it had to be turned upside-down before it
would behave. I didn't have one at all, which was fine: no fresh milk,
and no meat which hadn't been alive a couple of hours before.
