And this muffin fan:

Fits like a dream and works wonderfully!

But that’s behind this:
The entire set-up fits inside the case, which made it very quite.

Acquiring a suitable fridge will certainly add here. I got lucky and we had the wine cooler sitting around for years. It was literally in our house when we moved in.
