Summerset 24 inch Deluxe Outdoor Kegerator: draft beer at the island, with your choice of tap
The Summerset 24 inch Deluxe Outdoor Kegerator is an outdoor refrigerator built to hold a keg of beer and pour it through a tap, and it builds into an outdoor kitchen island. Built in means it slides into a cutout under the counter and its front sits flush with the island face. Outdoor rated means the electronics are sealed and the compressor is made for the heat and the cold a patio sees, which an indoor fridge is not. It holds one full size keg, one quarter barrel, two sixth barrels side by side, or a sixth barrel and a slim quarter together. The door and the handle are 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors.
A digital control sets it anywhere from 32 to 50 degrees, and it defrosts itself. The door can be hung to open from the left or the right. It is built to run without vibration, so it is quiet next to the bar seats. Plan for an outlet in the island. A matching trim kit frames the cutout in stainless steel and is sold on its own page. It brings draft beer to the island instead of the garage. The price is for the cabinet only, with no tap. On the page you add the single tap kit or the double tap kit, and two taps with two sixth barrels means two different beers on draft. For the tap most owners add, see the Summerset Single Keg Tap Kit. The Summerset 24 inch Deluxe Outdoor Kegerator ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What is a kegerator, exactly?
A refrigerator engineered to hold a keg at serving temperature and dispense through a tap – draft beer at home without the bar. This 24-inch Summerset version is UL rated for outdoor use, so the draft setup can live in your island instead of the garage.
What keg sizes fit inside?
The 6.6-cubic-foot cavity takes a full-size 15.5-gallon keg, a quarter barrel, a slim quarter plus a sixth barrel together, or two sixth barrels side by side – which is how you run two different beers once a double tap is fitted.
Does it come with the tap?
No – the RFR-24DK is the no-tap model so you can pick your pour setup. Summerset’s single and double tap towers are both offered as add-ons on this page, letting the tower ship with the cabinet, and you will also want to budget for the coupler and CO2 gear when planning the build.
How long does a keg stay fresh in a kegerator?
Dispensed with CO2 at the 32-to-50-degree range this unit holds, a pasteurized keg commonly lasts months and craft kegs six to eight weeks – far beyond a party pump, which spoils beer within a day or two. The digital controller keeps serving temperature consistent.
Can it pour outdoors in summer heat?
That is the whole point: UL outdoor rating, 304 stainless body, door, and handle, auto-defrost, and an electronic controller that holds serving temperature on a baking patio. An outdoor kegerator belongs beside the grill, not hidden indoors.
Which way does the door open?
Your choice – the door is field-reversible, so it can hinge left or right after delivery to match your island’s traffic flow. Interior LED lighting and an anti-vibration system round out the deluxe touches on this 24-inch unit.
Can I use it as a regular fridge between kegs?
Yes – pull the keg hardware and the 6.6-cubic-foot stainless interior becomes cold storage for cases and bottles. With ETL, DOE, and CE certifications and commercial-plus-residential compliance, it earns its island slot even in the months nothing is on tap.
