Fridge

[Mike Eaket]

Hello

I have a chance to buy a small used commerical fridge. It is 6.5 cu ft 27″ X 29″ X 32″
It is frost free and has a small circulating fan. Will this work ok as a dry age fridge?
Our local Zellers store is closing and a Target is opening so they are sell off the
whole store. They started at $900 then $675 my friend tells me they will take $450

Mike – yes that would work, but honestly a 6.5 cu feet used refrig for $450 sounds pricey to me. That is not a very big unit. If you could get them down to say $225 then it might be worth a look see. Just my opinion, but I’d do some comparison shopping and see what $450 would get you in a plain Jane white, no freezer compartment refrig. Ron

Hello Ron

Yes the price per sq ft is high, these units sell for $2000 brand new, this unit is 7years old
and still looks brand new. I am glad it will work ok for dry aging.

I don’t know where you live but check Craigslist for a used fridge. In Houston you can pick one up for $100 – $150.

Yes I live in Northern BC Canada in Prince George, its hard to find surplus commerical equipment here, without
having to pay for shipping from Vancouver.

I looked on Craigslist and they have a listing for Prince George. Under appliances I found the following:

It was the only one listed but it should work great. Hope this helps.

I can find many used household fridges, I thought this was a good deal for a commerical grade fridge, also to find a frost free in a small fridge. I already run 2 fridges and two freezers and had to fight to make enough room to dry age in the second fridge 😆 😆 . This will be my fridge for dry aging only.

You sound like me. I’ve go 2 freezers and a frig. I’m full of fish from Alaska, shrimp from the Gulf and Axis meat.
