Unit came in today. My initial impressions are this...
The way it fits together could be better. Thicker walls would have allowed a deeper groove where the pieces fit together. The wire shelves are pretty flimsy. They sent a bag of ground Himalayan salt, but I'm not convinced the salt is Himalayan due to the packaging, and I believe a block would be more effective for the purpose it will serve. The satchel the salt goes in is burlap, so the ground salt will leak from the burlap when you fill it, and every time you take it out to clean. The unit was built missing 3 screws, or they popped out during shipping. And the charcoal filters have to be cut down on one side to fit. These are just initial impressions, and they can all be addressed easily. I'd have been willing to pay a little more for a more robust unit, for what that is worth. I wish they would offer a larger size as well, but with so many different refrigerator combos, and their launch unit, I can see why they built it to fit in a side by side fridge.
I've got to pick up a primal cut, and will do so ASAP. Then we wait another 45 days. I'll post pictures and updates throughout.

I don't know what I'm talking about? Did you refute that salt is a desiccant or any other factual statement I have made or are you still just being pissy? Yes salt is used to age the meat. Sure the meat contains moisture. I'm not arguing any of that. I'm just saying getting all the ideal conditions in a little plastic box in your fridge may not be so simple.
You guys just don't like me because tomorrow for lunch I will be eating a meal prepared by a James Beard award winning chef, followed by a massage at the spa, and then who knows what for dinner. I will be having nice champagne in a great suite at a high end hotel later that night as well.... and for Saturday I have been asked to bring the wine for the party thanks to my great taste. I hate raiding the wine fridge, but I guess it's for a worthy cause.
Haters gonna hate; most everyone is used to it by now. And you "hate everyone." It's a miserable way to live, but you go for it. I need that baby panda on the rocking horse haters gonna hate meme right about now.

No, that's not it. We don't like got because you're a pompous asshole. Obviously you're not as smart as you'd like to think you are, or you'd have shut the fuck up already.
