If I buy it will be inside a wood cabinet. Does the auto defrost generate moisture? Does it come with a drip pan. Thanks for any information.

yeah you will be ok it does have a drip pan and everything evaporates no prob...had mine for a few months now and it works great... mine is enclosed also... but its always a good idea to provide some type of ventilation...

I don't think there is a drip pan with this refrigerator. My daughter has only had the refrigerator for a few weeks and all I know is that it is quiet and keeps things cold. Sorry I can't help out.

I've owned this refrigerator for almost 2 years now and it most definitely does have a drip pan. The fridge has a fairly large drip pan which is about 1.25" High and doesn't rest on the floor but is securely screwed into the back of the unit about 6 inches off the ground. My unit has never leaked any water. The pan is usually dry but mine is in a well ventilated area. I will soon be moving mine into a more enclosed area and don't anticipate any problems. Just make sure that there is some space on the sides and a bit in the back for air to circulate and I think you'll be OK.

Theoretically I don't see any problem with using it indoors, aside from the dense fog which will build up quickly. It's worth noting, however, that if you put ice in the front compartment (this is what causes the fog to stay close to the ground) there is a small plastic tube on the rear of the machine that the melted ice drains out of, so you would have to have a drip pan or some other method of collecting the water (depending on the location inside). It's also worth noting that the ice isn't required to use the machine, it simply helps create the ground effect.Also, I purchased mine prior to Halloween 2012. Used it that night, put it back in the box, pulled it out for Halloween 2013 and it worked just fine.

Sure it defrosts as needed. It is operational for heating down to 5F, in cooling down to 32F. Ambient.

It has no auto-defrost. They send a freezer wall scraper with the fridge for you to keep the frost at bay. I hope this helps. BTW it is amazing

Absolutely not, it is purely interior only, all of the wood is exposed and is furniture grade, so no moisture at all.

Thanks so much Silvergirl for the information on the drip pan. I bought one yesterday for $6.00 at a thrift store. It's a shame the drip pan along with shipping, will run me about $20.00 but from what I've read, it should be worth it.

I got mine last fall. I was very glad that I stained it with a good wood stain so that it held up through freezing, snow, wind, and lots of rain. I will stain it again this summer. It kept things dry.

It defrosts well. There are different options you can select, such as a timed defrost or how many pounds you are trying to defrost. The microwave will select the proper time for you. I have been satisfied with the way it defrosts.

Sorry, Jeffrey, I never thought about it. I live in the States and it plugged into a regular socket fixture where it has worked fine ever since. Cord is not overly long btw. It does give off a lot of hot steam towards the end of its' cycle, so you don't want to position it under a cupboard. I have the pourer facing away from my 'above' cabinets. I like it well enough, but it's really not that much quicker than a regular stove top kettle. It pours cleanly and is helpful for filling hot water bottles and the like. I moved so not sure where my instruction booklet is - apologies for not answering this query properly.

I have this and I don't have a problem with moisture. It works great for me. If anything put a paper towel under it to absorb the moisture.

I bought this Tuscany canister set, as well as the bread box in mid January. I haven't had any moisture problems. I live in northern Maine and heat with wood so the air in my house is dry and I use a humidifier. Let suggestion would be to check the humidity level in your house.

Hmm. Never have had a problem with low moisture or dry meat. I've never had the water pan run dry. The juices from the meat drain into the water pan, assuming it is correctly installed, so usually it overflows and runs into the grease trap drawer in the bottom of the smoker. A couple of questions & suggestions: 1. What temp are you using? Smoking at too high a temperature for too long is the most likely problem. I smoke pork butts on 235 F for about 16 hrs with great results. I usually have to empty the grease trap several times as the water pan overflows into the trap. Also, it could be that your thermometer or heat controller is defective. You can run a remote meat thermometer into the unit simply lay it on the grill where the meat would be to verify that the unit is maintaining the proper temperature. NOTE: Don't be worried if it is 5 or 10 degrees off from the display on the unit (50-100 degrees difference probably indicates a problem). 2. Are you closing the small circular exhaust on the upper left side of the unit? I keep this vent fully closed (as closed as it will go) during the entire cooking time. 3. Keep the wood chip feeder inserted at all times (except when actually adding chips). If the chip feeder is left out, it lets too much air into the unit and causes a variety of problems. 4. Make sure your door seals are in clean, in good condition, and sealing properly. You may have to adjust the door latch if it's too loose or too tight. 5. Don't open the door during cooking, unless it is really necessary 6. Smoke your brisket fat side up so the fat will drip down through the meat as it cooks off 7. Make sure you do not overfill your water pan. Even at max fill, the water pan should be mostly empty (there's a max fill line on the pan).

I bought and installed this for my mother in law. she loves it. I recommend you leave the hole open for condensation to escape, otherwise I would expect you would have mold problems and possibly damage the life of the unit.

This model has to be manually defrosted. It does come with a small ice scraper, which if used regularly, keeps the ice build up to a minimum

Hi there, if you don't want to steam up your room, let the cooker sit for at least 30 minutes to totally depressurize or release the pressure outside. Your food is cooked at a high pressure so that's what happens. The drip cup collects condensation from the lid, if you immediately open the lid and release all the steam into your room, that's where your moisture went. You can try using your oven vent to collect all that steam you release if you are pressed for time. Hope that helps.
