Refrigerator for Kitchen?
I just built a permanent kitchen near our BBQ Shed that will hold a 3 compartment sink, hand washing sink, small freezer and a refrigerator.
I am not ready to spend a couple grand for a cooler, or have room for it, but want some thing better than coolers. There are a lot of choices out there, and obviously I want the best bang for the buck. I also do not want to buy something and immediately wish I had chosen something different. Any advice on a size or type to put in a 10X12 kitchen?

I just bought this unit http://www.equippers.com/shop/produc...752&iid=LG0022 I got it under the scratch and dent section and saved another $100 and only the box it came in was damaged. I love it. It comes with 4 racks that will support 300lbs each and could fit several more shelves if you wanted. I had 25 briskets (300lbs) in it this weeks and they fits just fine.

I have the same unit but why a commercial fridge?
If your space isint going to be inspected a regular fridge will do.

I did not think a fridge had to be commercial, as long as you had a way to check the temp.

Your trailer will require a commercial fridge.

Trailer was 6X12, kitchen is 8X12. The only difference I am planning on doing is adding a fridge and a serving window. Worse case scenario I use the kitchen for personal use, and just use my licensed mobile trailer for commercial use. I do not see a problem with serving out of the kitchen, its better than a tent. I have an email into the health inspector, I know Pa has different requirements for a mobile / barbecue business.

Right now all I have is a 8X12 shell, I will talk with the Health Inspector before I do much more.
I will have to use a self contained sink system since I do not have water & sewage in the kitchen.
