Tired of overpriced Drip Trays? D.I.Y. for $10

[KrOtChRoTT]

My old kegerator died, so I snatched up a side by side fridge off craigslist to turn into a kegerator.
After installing all the parts I needed: Shanks, couplets, faucets... I just couldn't bring myself to spend $50+ on a darn drip tray.
So here you go my fellow BN'ers .. A $10 drip tray.

I picked up a Master Forge Stainless Steel Smokebox from Lowes for $10 .. Dimensions are 12" x 4"

Drilled 3 holes through the box and the fridge and mounted to the front of the fridge with 3 heavy screws.



The lid is on a hinge, which makes cleaning quite easy.. Also note, I applied some waterproof liquid nails to the seams inside to keep it from leaking at the seams.. JB weld would probably be better, but I used what I had on hand.



That's it!!! Pretty cheap and easy!!!

That's awesome. I'm kicking myself for overpaying for mine.

I used the same mud pan until I went from 2 taps to 4 taps. I had some self adhesive magnetic strips (used for making refrigerator magnets, available from Office Depot) on the back of the pan to stick it to my kegerator. Worked really slick.
