    Wish It Came With the Smart App

    The dry aging is spot on โ€” humidity and temp stay locked in. Iโ€™ve done two full rounds of short ribs and they turned out better than anything Iโ€™ve had at a steakhouse. My only real wish? That it came with the same smart app the Pro models have. Would love to check in on my meat from the road.

    Tight and Accurate

    The Studio Edition fits right under my counter and blends in perfectly. Itโ€™s quiet, holds steady temps, and the dry aging results are just incredible. Iโ€™ve done beef ribs and even some duck breast. Only issue? The shelf spacing can be a little tight with large cuts, but once you get the layout right, itโ€™s gold.

    Perfect size Dry Ager

    Couldnโ€™t ask for a better steak ager. Holds the temperature and humidity steady. I aged over 50lbs Short Loin, Rib Eye and NY Strip for 45 days to perfection. Had a great steak party and all my guests now want one. I also ground a portion of ribeye and strip loin and made exceptional hamburgers. Very pleased with my purchse

    Great Dry Aging Unit

    Bought the Steak Locker Studio fridge over a month ago and so far it works like a charm. I am very pleased the way it holds the temperature and humidity consistently. This unit is rated for 45lbs capacity by the manufacturer, but it easily holds 55+ lbs of meat (See pic below). I hung 22bs T-Bone primal, 23lbs NY-Strip and 4lbs Tenderloin. On the bottom shelve I have 6lbs Picahna and 2lbs tenderloin cap. I tried the T_Bone last night for the first time and it was fantastic! Loved the way my steak came out.. I am contemplating of buying another unit soon for curing charcuteries.

    Small Steps

    Messed around with bags and a cheap version of a plastic box from Steak Ager Atlanta. This smallest version is stainless steel all over and has a great feel to it. It's also good knowing they have other versions but more important, the service. Had called twice, got thru once and second time the chat box was very active. So far 5 stars.

    Could have sold more.

    The steak locker is great. I have some ribeye's going right now. I do feel my I would have purchased the WiFi controller if I knew it didn't come with one. Great add on sale for you guys if you advertise that. I do still want to purchase one.

    45 Days to Go!

    Received the Steak Locker Studio on Wednesday afternoon, and by that night, we had $500 of ribeye in the unit... I can see the meat starting to do its thing and looking forward to our first dry aged steak for Christmas Eve. The displays and controls are pretty simple to go though, I figured it out mostly by myself. The instructions could of been a little clearer, but overall, once I figured it out, it was simple. So far so good!

    Great Product

    The Steak Locker is an amazing product. Works beautifully. The support is also great!

Question asked: Would covering the bottom and sides cause the meat to spoil? I put in a 25lb bone in prime rib in and took it out on the 89th day. The meat was totally spoiled. I thought by covering the bottom and sides it would not have the thick crust on the ends. I have always put plastic on the bottom to prevent dripping on the salt bricks I keep in the bottom. Could it be that or is it more likely the UV bulb is dead. I put a new bulb in about 8 months ago. Thank you.
29-03-2026

Hi Ken, Appreciate you sharing this. Covering the bottom and sides likely trapped moisture and restricted airflowโ€”dry aging needs full exposure on all sides, especially over 89 days. That can shift conditions away from proper drying and lead to spoilage. The UV bulb is less likely the cause. You can lightly coat with avocado oil, coconut oil, or butter, but all push the process closer to wet aging and reduce proper moisture loss. Best to keep the cut fully exposed on a rack. Chef Clau

Question asked: Can you control the humidity ?
28-11-2025

Yes โ€” all Steak Locker units actively control humidity. The system is software-driven and uses adaptive learning principles to refine its environmental management over time. With each cooling and humidity cycle, the controller collects performance data and uses it to optimize internal conditions based on load, ambient temperature, and even variables such as altitude and barometric pressure. A unit operating in Denver, for example, will naturally follow a different dry-aging profile than one in

Question asked: does this come with wifi enabled ? I'm confused on the out come
11-04-2025

Hi Jason, appreciate your question. Two models (Home and Pro Edition) come with integrated wifi feature. The Studio edition as an entry product has no integrated wifi ability. However, we do sell Steak Locker Smart Aging Controllers that provide the user with the smart app and constant operational parameters as well as safety and operational Alerts.

Question asked: In the description above it says it can hold 45lb of beef. But in specifications it says 30lb. Could you please explain why there is a difference in the same page. Thank you
11-04-2025

The Studio Edition has a max capacity of 45lb. However, it would be wiser to operate on the lower range as it would require the operator to change them location of the cuts on a daily basis so all areas are fiully and safely dry aged.

Question asked: Is this nsf certified?
13-12-2024

Yes. All of our Steak Locker models have been NSF cat 7 certified.

Question asked: Do i need to buy the wifi controller? I want to buy the 2024 edition of the Steak Locker Studio Dry Age Refrigerator. Are the wifi and controller included or not? It's confusing the way it's written NOW WITH WIFI & CONTROLLER and then it says Click here to select the WIFI Controller. I dont get it. Thanks for your support!

The Craft, Made Compact

Studio is the entry point into controlled dry aging — and it earns the name. The same 304 stainless build and the same obsession over the environment, in a single-zone countertop cabinet that fits practically any space.

It holds a stable, controlled climate for the life of every program — the difference between aging a steak in the back of a fridge and aging it in a machine built for the job. Temperature and humidity stay where you set them, so pellicle forms cleanly and moisture loss stays predictable, cut after cut.

Half the size. All the Steak Locker.


Real Aging — in a Countertop Footprint

One Controlled Zone, 34–50°F

A single, precisely-held temperature zone across the full 34–50°F range — wide enough to take the cabinet from a dry-aged ribeye to a charcuterie and curing program without changing anything but the setpoint.

Controlled Humidity & Airflow

Managed humidity and steady circulation keep the environment even across the cabinet — no stagnant pockets, no guesswork. The conditions that make safe, repeatable dry aging possible, held for you around the clock.

304 Stainless, Chef-Built

The same food-grade 304 stainless steel and the same build standard as every Steak Locker. Compact doesn’t mean cheap — it means considered.

Real Savings

Studio safely holds your favourite premium cuts and delivers savings of up to 75% versus dry-aged product from a restaurant or butcher. The craft pays for itself.


Monitoring — Your Way

Studio runs its aging environment on its own, no app required. When you want eyes on it from your phone, the companion monitoring app (our legacy G4 system) is available separately — live temperature and humidity, wherever you are.

Want the full built-in G5 Smart App with active remote control of every parameter? That lives on the Home and Professional Edition G5.

Ready for more range?

The Home Edition G5 opens the full 34–72°F range, adds the built-in G5 Smart App with active remote control, a 3-year warranty, and 65 lb capacity.

The Real Story

We invented this category — US Patent 11,006,657, the first smart connected dry aging system, built by chefs for people who take aging seriously.

Early units had real problems. The hardware aged protein reliably; the software connecting it didn’t. Those reviews are accurate — and they’re about machines we no longer build. We reengineered the platform from the ground up, informed by ten years and 8,500 units of real aging data.

We built the first decade on invention. We’re building the next one on obsession — the same one that started this in a kitchen, not a boardroom.
