I've been looking into doing this. I'm a rookie at it but from what I've read a mini fridge will not work. It needs to be at least a standard size fridge that has adequate circulation to keep air moving around the meat.

I read that as well, but I don't remember where. Proper temp and air circulation are the most important items.
