Fridge & Wine Cooler Swap

The short answer

The Backyard Banger's fridge comes out with two screws, and the bay behind it fits any replacement up to 22 inches wide, 22 inches deep, and 33.5 inches tall. That's the whole spec that matters: measure your wine cooler or fridge against 22 × 22 × 33.5, and if it fits, it drops in. The stock unit is a 4.5 cubic foot outdoor-rated fridge with a stainless door; the most common swap is a wine cooler, which the bay is sized to accept. No cutting, no bracket kit — just a measurement and two screws.

The stock fridge is ready to run out of the box, so this is a want-to, not a have-to. The swap tends to come up later — once the cart's been through a few parties and you decide the drinks it should really keep cold are bottles, not cans. It's not part of the initial setup.

How to swap it

  1. Measure your replacement

    Check your wine cooler or fridge against the bay: 22" wide, 22" deep, 33.5" tall max. If it fits inside all three, it drops in.

  2. Remove the stock fridge

    Unplug it, back out the two screws holding it in the bay, and slide the 4.5 cu ft unit out. That's the entire removal.

  3. Slide the new unit in

    Set your replacement into the bay, secure it, and route its cord to the power tower the same way the stock fridge ran.

  4. Power it up

    Plug into the tower and let it come to temperature. A wine cooler and a fridge both run off the same GFCI outlet.
