Black Kenmore 6.0 cu. ft. Compact Refrigerator
Sears item #04694609000 Mfr. model #564-94609400

I bought one of these last year for $189.00 USD at a scratch and ding
sale. I bought a food quality bucket big enough to hold a 14lb turkey
< 6 gal. I think > at Smart and Final then looked around for a compact
fridge big enough to hold it. After brining I put the shelves back in
and load it up with beverages and what ever else I need to keep cold
for the barbecue. It sits out on the patio near the table making it
convienent. It's a big hit with my gardeners since I told them if
they're thirsty help themselves.
