10 Easy Pieces: Undercounter Refrigerators for Outdoor Kitchens

March 14, 2017

All outdoor refrigerators are not created equal.

Rules to live by when shopping for appliances for an outdoor kitchen: Choose a refrigerator constructed of high-quality stainless steel (the better to withstand the elements) and check to see that it has a compressor powerful enough to keep food evenly chilled no matter how dramatically the outside temperature varies.

If the layout of your outdoor kitchen specifies an under-counter refrigerator, make sure there is sufficient ventilation to prevent the motor from overheating. Here are 10 built-in refrigerators to consider:
