So they must intend for the frig to be operated only when the kitchen is open? I have paid attention to these posts as my son has considered an outdoor kitchen. It would seem that you could install a fan and a vent to move air through there but it also gets into the issue of even more energy use while dry camping if it's not solar. Cant power the fan at night with solar. Cant leave the kitchen open at night because the racoons will get the beer.
So cooking is probably the main benefit of outdoor kitchen.
