I actually have the 10 cu ft igloo from best buy and love it. Comes with built in refrigerator mode so you don't even need a temp controller.
What model would that be?

I think I got it for 199.99 but don't remember. With a 12 inch collar 8 kegs fit easily.

Nice! So 3 ball lock kegs in front bottom and 3 ball lock kegs in back bottom and 2 on the Hump?
On the outside, bottom right, is this where the option to switch from refrigerator to freezer is located? What are the temps it ranges for refrigerator setting?
TNT -
would you be able to tell me how many 1/6 Barrels can fit? They are 9.25" diameter. This would help me out a ton as I'm looking for a freezer this size and haven't found a price like this in awhile.
Yes that's correct. Sorry those were the only pics on my phone. Yes bottom right corner is the temp adjustment. It doesn't have degrees on it but my is set at a minimal cool setting and it stays around 39 to 40 degrees. If you only wanted 6 then you could make the collar much smaller.
I'll try to figure it out when I'm home later tonight.
Any luck?
It is 18.5 inches wide on the inside. There is about 2.25 inches between the corny kegs. I would guess at least 5 on the floor offset or maybe 6 but it would be tight. 1 to 2 on the Hump. Sorry I don't have any 1/6 Barrels to test in it but if you donate me a couple I'll test it right out.
Thanks for the info. I bit the bullet and purchased it. Somehow it gave me free delivery. I'm confident it will be able to hold 5 kegs, which was the minimum I needed.

This model should be able to hold 8 ball lock kegs with a collar - 6 on the bottom and 2 on the hump.
I somehow got free delivery on my fridge from bestbuy.com . I couldn't figure out why, but wasn't going to argue!
It arrived yesterday and is a great layout and depth for fitting kegs on the floor. I may be able to fit 6 1/6 barrels on the floor and if I built a collar high enough two more on the compressor.
All I need is for it to hold 5 so I'm set.
What size collar are you thinking? Are you going to make it tall enough to get two kegs on the hump?
Here are a few pics of the Igloo 10 Cu Ft Chest Freezer (FRF1050)

I'm thinking an 8" collar should fit 2 ball lock kegs on the hump!
For a total of 8 ball lock kegs
If you want to tap those on the hump you'll need a 12 inch collar.
I just setup a 12" collar with MDF board.
I noticed the temperature on the 1 setting is still in the mid 20s. I thought it would be in the mid 30s or high 30s according to someone else on here. I pulled the plug and letting it warm and going to try again. Was hoping to not use a temp controller.
Mine stays in the high 30s around 39 with the refrigerator setting turned pretty far to the left
That's strange since we have the same unit. I have the dial turned all the way counter clockwise which is in the number 1 position, but every time I check the temperature its around 30 if not colder.
This is for the FRF1050 Igloo 10 CU FT?
I read in the freezer manual that the setting had to be set at 4 for a few hours the first time it was turned on and then adjusted to the setting you wanted. Not sure, but maybe try that. You may have to defrost and let it sit for a few hours before trying again. It would be awesome if it would hold a temp of 39-40 at lowest setting.
This is the FRF1050. I didn't do the 'break in' as I didn't see how that would make a difference for temperature. I went right to the thermostat and turned it all the way in and checked several times to still see a below freezing water bottle in there. I have since backed the screw out quite a bit and will check when I get home from work.
