Hee hee.... I usually put my beverage on the bodywork under where the of the 
hood attaches above the grill work... I typically put my bolts/nuts/tools 
there while working. With the beer there, I am guranteed not to inadvertantly 
knock any hardware to the ground... (Murphy's law always applies when 
hardware falls to the ground)...

Ice maker? maybe just create a fead for a cooler off the A/C compressor?
