Blaze Refrigerators

Blaze Refrigerators at Plesser's Appliances

Blaze refrigerators, available at Plesser's Appliances, are undercounter units built in stainless steel for outdoor installation, providing cold storage at the grill, bar, or poolside. Offered in multiple widths in solid and glass door configurations, for built-in installation in a masonry or cabinetry run or freestanding placement.

Built for Outdoor Installation
Blaze refrigeration is designed for permanent outdoor use rather than adapted from indoor equipment — sealed electrical components, corrosion-resistant stainless, and weather-rated seals. Confirm the specific outdoor rating and any covered-installation requirement on the spec sheet, since most outdoor refrigeration is rated for use under cover rather than full exposure.

Undercounter Widths for an Island Run
Undercounter sizing lets refrigeration slot into the same elevation as the grill, storage drawers, and access doors, sharing cutout logic and finish so the run reads as one installation. Confirm width and cutout dimensions against your island plan before masonry is laid out — this is not adjustable afterward.

Holding Temperature in Summer Heat
Ambient heat and radiant heat from an adjacent grill both work against an outdoor refrigerator. Confirm the rated ambient operating range for your climate, and site the unit away from the grill where the layout allows — placement affects real-world performance more than the spec sheet suggests.

Interior Configuration and Doors
Adjustable shelving handles mixed loads of food and drinks, with solid doors performing better thermally in direct sun and glass doors keeping contents visible for a bar setting. Confirm shelf configuration, capacity, and hinge orientation before ordering, since hinge side is fixed and depends on where the unit sits in the run.

Electrical, Clearance, and Installation Planning
Installation requires a GFCI-protected dedicated circuit and front-grille clearance maintained for ventilation, with cutouts planned before masonry or framing is finished. On coastal and poolside installations, confirm the stainless grade and plan on regular rinsing. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about widths, hinge orientation, ambient ratings, and rough-in before construction begins.
