Dry-aging cabinets with the lowest price per pound of capacity
Price per pound of capacity is the closest thing to a like-for-like cost across cabinet sizes. Here it runs from about $5 a pound (the VEVOR 232 LBS Dry Aging Fridge) to $284 (the DRY AGER UX 750 PRO S). Big cabinets usually win on this figure, which matters only if you will fill them.
How this list is ordered: List price divided by the maker's stated maximum meat load, lowest first. A cabinet with no stated load has no figure and is left out. 20 of the catalog’s items qualify.
