A refrigerator having a cold air meat keeper that is adjustable to a plurality of alternate vertical positions. The cold air is introduced into the refrigerated food compartment through a port in the back wall of the liner. The meat keeper, which is suspended below a height-adjustable cantileverly-supported shelf, has an elastic conduit extending rearwardly therefrom. The conduit has an enlarged rear chamber that seals against the liner wall around the port in a plurality of elevational positions. The conduit is compressed in an interference fit to provide a positive sealing force against the liner surface.
