Freezer not very cold, how will this affect my freeze precip?

I'm about to do an extraction next week, however the freezer where I moved to recently isn't very cold and has no adjustment. How bad will this be for my freeze precipitation?
Also, I don't know if this makes a difference(I suspect it might) but my freezer is empty as well. I don't eat any frozen food and never use ice for anything. Once in a while I have some ice cream, but that's it.
I was thinking of doing something putting a jar in a jar so the jar with the naphtha is encased in ice like so

Do you guys think that would help my situation? If not, does anybody have a suggestion?

I know that will make the water freeze at a much lower temperature, so I will do that. However the temp still can't get any colder than the temperature of the freezer itself. I'm gonna have to grab a thermometer to see what it really is in there.

if the temp of the salted ice is lower then the freezer its going to get colder then it.

Maybe I'm not understanding something, yes the salt water has the potential to get colder than without the salt before freezing, but how is it going to get colder than the freezer in the first place?
Lets say for the sake of argument my freezer is 25º. By adding the salt, yes it would enable the water to get down to that instead of freezing at 32º, but how can it get colder than what the temperature inside the freezer is?

You know, getting dry ice had actually crossed my mind. Well whatever I end up doing(not going to have my MHRB until next Tuesday or Wednesday), wish me luck. Pics will definitely be taken throughout the extraction and posted.

If it's really too warm, you could replace the water in your picture with frozen butane, it boils at -30° C or so, that should be more then cold enough

It's sold in tobacco shops and headshops as lighter fluid, very easily obtainable, a canister is like 60 cents here for some homebrand, just look around in those cheap discount shops if you don't have a tobacco or headshop near you
