I had a beer cart the I use for our annual pig roast and then also as a fermentation chiller. I ran it once with ice as a fermentation chiller and was not thrilled. Soo.... I decided to buy a minifridge and totally cannibalize it and install in in my beer cart - no more ice!!!! Plus now I can properly lager!!!
Before: 3 cu ft Chefmate from Target for $100
I unbolted the compressor and then pulled the sides away from the plastic chamber. Unfortunately a lot of the foam came with the sides, not the plastic.
I used some of the scrap plastic to help "cut" away the foam so I wouldn't have to worry about puncturing a line. I also used it as shown in the picture to cut through the tape holding the lines to the walls
