Fire Magic Beverage Butler: a sink and ice chest at your outdoor bar
The Fire Magic Beverage Butler is a bar station that builds into an outdoor kitchen counter, with a sink and a faucet on one side and an insulated ice chest on the other. Fire Magic builds it in the USA from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors. It needs an opening 12 inches high, 32.5 inches wide, and 20 inches deep. Plan for water and drain lines there. It gives you a place to rinse, slice, and pour without leaving the counter.
The faucet mixes hot and cold water. The ice chest has a lid that lifts off and trays that sit in the ice for cut fruit and mixers. A bamboo cutting board sits over the sink so scraps slide in, while the front holds a bottle rack, an opener whose magnet catches caps, and a towel rack underneath. Two drain plugs come with it, one to hold water in the sink and one to hold the melt in the ice side, and both bowls drain into plumbing below. A ring on the sink side knocks out if you want a garbage disposal under it. Just need an ice bin? See the Fire Magic Built In Refreshment Center ice bin. The Fire Magic Beverage Butler ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What does the Beverage Butler do?
It combines a sink with a hot and cold mixer faucet on one side and an insulated ice chest with a removable lid on the other, all in 304 stainless steel, plus a front beverage caddy, a magnetic bottle opener that catches the cap, a towel rack, a removable bamboo cutting board and condiment trays that sit in the ice.
What cutout does it need?
The page and the Fire Magic spec guide give 32 1/2 inches wide, 20 inches deep and 12 inches high. The spec guide notes the Beverage Butler’s hanger is 2 1/2 inches all around, wider than most Fire Magic units, and that drain clearances must be provided below it for the sink and ice chest.
Can I add a garbage disposal?
Yes. The description says a knock-out ring on the faucet side can be removed to install a garbage disposal beneath the sink. Plan the plumbing and a power feed for the disposal under the counter at installation.
How do the drain plugs work?
Two drain plugs come with the unit. Use one on the ice bucket side to trap melt water and keep drinks cold longer, and plug the faucet side to hold water for washing. Remove the plugs to drain both bowls through the plumbing you connect below. See other outdoor bar centers here.
Is the cutting board included?
Yes. A removable bamboo cutting board sits over the sink so scraps slide straight into it, and removable condiment trays hold sliced fruit and vegetables in the ice chest. The front beverage caddy keeps bottles within reach and the towel rack below the front panel keeps a towel handy.
