Re:Choosing a refrigerator

The summit refrigerator was delivered last week and fits the bill nicely. It’s a good size for a compact refrigerator I can easly place 2, maybe 3 good size roasts inside.

They sent me a unit with glass shelves which sounds nice, but i prefered the wire rack shelves for better air flow. I’ve contacted Summit and they will be shipping me out a set of wire rack shelves.

I wired up the Ranco unit and that’s doing’t it’s job like a champ. I set the unit for 37 degress +- 2 degrees and watched it for a few days now. It’s been dead on the money.

I have the probe wire running between the door and fridge. I noticed some condensation around where the wire compresses against the door seal so I think I will be drilling a hole through the side of the refrigerator. I’ve got a call into summit to have them confirm what would be the best place to drill a hole.

Saturday I picked up a 13.5 lb Prime NY strip roast at my butcher and plan to take that at least 32 days.

Yesterday at the wharehouse wholesale club I picked up a 16 lb rib eye roast and have that in the fridge as well.

It’s great to have a dedicated fridge for this and haveing the ability to rotate in my steaks!
