Re:Choosing a refrigerator

Andy,

Glad to hear you are happy with the results of aging meat the DrybagSteak way!

I understand your wife’s reluctance of the space give up as I too plan my aging periods so that they don’t interfere with holidays when I know space will be tight for cold storage of make aheads. As for a dedicated refrig for just aging one sub-primal at a time then to me your best bet is to seek out a reputable appliance dealer who does some volume for a used model which they have hauled off. Let them know what you are looking for and I bet you’ll find one on the cheap. A basic model with no ice maker should serve your needs and yet come in handy during those times of year when having a second refrig will come in handy. Also if you live in a larger city you might just score one through the want ads.

Let us know what you end up doing!

Ron
