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!!!

nice krotch.


i mean....nice, krotch.


ok. both.

Nicely done, ya cheap bastard!
I will be doing the same!

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

Just as I'm about to finish up my keezer project...Thank you so much for this!

that thing is freaking sweet! i used one of these bad boys, but i like yours better since it has a shelf!

stainless mud pan that i caulked the seams.

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.
