I have the Chudbox and love it, the old style cooking chicken, pork steaks and mopped ribs can not be beaten imo. I made my own grill basket for coals and does high heat sear very well.
Bradley, I have been following your channel since you had 5000 followers. Gotta hand it to ya brother. You have come a long way. I wish you nothing but continued growth and success... ✌️
Was thinking the same thing. I've seen grills/boxes with a crank and tracks that allows you to raise/lower the coal bed. As long as the travel distance was long enough, you could position the coals in ChudBox or ChudGrill territory. Just adds weight/cost/complexity (more things to corrode or break) to the unit.
I agree, but to make it that way you have to buy a bunch of accessories and it will still use more charcoal trying to grill with it. So if you primarily want to grill, Chud grill is still the way to go.
I respect that you make the cookers locally. Price wise, yeah they aren’t cheap, but I’ve priced steel to do a build like that and it’s a lot of money just for the materials. One of these days I might have to pick up a chud box. Would love to see you bring back the pits, though. I’m more in the market for a pit to replace my old country pecos.
That slidey grate from the grill would be awesome to have for the chudbox. EDIT: You literally showed what I wanted the entire time in this video. Props.
It was great seeing all of the merch stuff. I'm so happy for y'all's success. Someday I'll contribute to it more with a Chud Box purchase. For now, you're my one-stop-shop for rubs.
Any plans to update the Box with the sliding tabs like on the grill? That would help for those who want to use it more like a vertical/barrel smoker for low and slow cooking.
I would choose the Chudbox, namely because I am a huge fan of direct heat BBQ. Direct heat/mopped pork steak is one of the best things I've ever eaten: thanks for showcasing that style of cooking on your channel.
+1 for stainless Chudbox 2.0 with sliding vents. In the meantime, please fab an elevated coal platform system that fits in the current firebox to get the coals closer to the cooking surface, would prefer this to the current coal basket.
I do love direct heat cookers, nothing mimics that flavor 🐖 Fulfillment side for other influencers is a really smart move...I would think all this should come together quite well for Chud Co.
Love the content! A question about the Chud grill. Is the grate the coals sit on removeable? If so, would this allow you to put the coals on the very bottom where the ashes fall? Thus, making it similar to the Chud box? Thanks in advance!
The bottom pan is solid, so not as good for airflow, probably. Also likely not as robustly built to take that kind of direct heat. But I wonder how the grill could be designed to enable the coal grate to move up and down to adjust the distance to the cooking surface.
Yes there are 2 internal parts to hold the coals that are removable, this would give you about 9 inches between bottom and cooking grate. Definitely not Chudbox distances but could get you slightly closer to direct heat
Geez, the Chud shop and warehouse is looking amazing. I ordered some Chud Rub and both L&L sauces recently and made some of my best pulled pork ever. That stuff is gold, thanks for having it available on the site. Looking forward to seeing who else you'll be stocking in the future. BTW, I'm soooo jealous of Bones' job. I'd love to be behind the camera and I do marketing and advertising as my full time career but in a much less fun and interesting industry. Y'all look like you're having a blast. Keep it up!
All of the inside footage in the secondhalf of the video has a weird squeaky noise in the background... probably the camera mount or mic mound coming loose id guess? I dunno, just thought id let ya know if you didnt figure ut out already
I personally would go with the Chudbox. It just gives more options on cooking methods and I do like to smoke, make sausage, and direct heat chicken is the best. When it comes to burgers and hot dogs I have a propane grill that is fast and easy to use for that.
If money was no concern?! I would want both of them! Lol I always want to use the best tool for the job. Contrast to how I work on my day job for my hobbies I do something chase perfection over good enough or at least until I get frustrated and then I do good enough lol.
The Chudd grill at $1850 is starting to compete directly with smaller kamados but lacks kamado capabilities. Also, this also seems to match up well with a PK 360, which is significantly less. The chudd grill is great but is it a great value?
Picking up my ChudBox on Saturday in Austin, would be cool to see you there Bradley. Either way, looking forward to meeting Nick. Got lots of questions on the box and plan to pick up some stuff from the store too.
Chud Box jn stainless would be awesome. The PNW air ruins a lot of my stuff quickly. I’m working with a local metal worker to design my own, but would happily buy if it already existed.
We do offer local pickup in both Austin & Dallas! All orders must be placed online ahead of time as we do not have any readily available! www.chudsbbq.com/products/chudbox?_pos=2&_sid=b91b4ef8b&_ss=r
The box. make a tray to put the fire closer to the meat for a grill> I'am a wood, charcoal man! These BBQ Pellets is great using charcoal or wood I will not own a pellet grill > NO WAY ! ITS STUPID
We are unable to offer international shipping for our metalworks at this time due to logistical constraints. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to expand our shipping capabilities in the future! However if you are located in the UK check out prosmokebbq.co.uk/products/the-chudbox-direct-heat-cooker?_pos=1&_sid=41dbf73e1&_ss=r Hope this helps!
At this time, we don't have plans to offer a stainless steel version due to the significantly higher production costs, which would make it less accessible to our customers.
I think they are nice bbq's but a std weber kettle does the same/more and costs a lot less.. yes gettng to the coal is a bit harder.. will i pay 5 times more for a grill that has a door.. maybe.. but the chud box also smaller cooking surface.. id only buy if it was all stainless.. but then it would cost like 4k.. bit much for me... but still good design!

I Saw the one lonely ChudBox and you asked where it was going? COULD THAT BE MINE? It's ordered and Rachael said it would ship at the end of November? I'm Looking Forward to eating Meat cooked in my new CB! AKA Sean@twomyles...

Sounds like you need to make a stainless chudbox.
YES!!!!!! Depending on the percentage of cost difference, this would be my preference. I abhor rust and continuous maintenance.
Bradley, I have been following your channel since you had 5000 followers. Gotta hand it to ya brother. You have come a long way. I wish you nothing but continued growth and success... ✌️
Can't help but think, with a a little redesign of the chudbox, it could do everything the grill could... just say'n :)

Long-time Chuds fan and Patreon here -- I'm really proud of the growth of your business. So much talent and it deserves the success you're achieving.
Both look like great cookers, but I feel like the Chudbox seems more versatile.
I agree, but to make it that way you have to buy a bunch of accessories and it will still use more charcoal trying to grill with it. So if you primarily want to grill, Chud grill is still the way to go.
"But wait, there's more!" 🤣 love seeing you guys grow, really enjoy the content.
your big off set smoker would be my pick over all, im just broke XD
I would have to go with the Chud Box especially considering the new addition of the sliding grill grate.
Congratulations Brad, you are killing it!!
The Chud Box would be such a great addition. Half way between my offset and my direct heat. Someday...
I respect that you make the cookers locally. Price wise, yeah they aren’t cheap, but I’ve priced steel to do a build like that and it’s a lot of money just for the materials.

Chud Box would be my first pick because of my cooking style but if I win the lottery I'm getting both!
Couldn't afford either one, but I would pick the Chud grill. Like the grill and griddle plate idea
Got my chudbox and put it together last week!
That slidey grate from the grill would be awesome to have for the chudbox. EDIT: You literally showed what I wanted the entire time in this video. Props.
Wish granted.
That's a pretty big shovel to shovel into your ash hole..😂

I would go with the Chud Box. Something different that I can't easily achieve with the equipment I already have.
Did you really scoop out a shovel full of ash, and then put it back to keep the video flowing? 😂😂 Classic!
I really want a Chud Box, especially now that I know I can use the grill grates on it. It's pretty much an all-in-one cooker.
I do love direct heat cookers, nothing mimics that flavor 🐖
Fulfillment side for other influencers is a really smart move...I would think all this should come together quite well for Chud Co.
Chudbox for me

I'd have both, thanks. But the grill is higher on my list.
You know you’re big time when you get a forklift 😁👍
The box would be great for adding A? ROTISSIERE > That is my choice. Take another hit of speed to rattle on
Chud box for me with charcoal pan
Geez, the Chud shop and warehouse is looking amazing. I ordered some Chud Rub and both L&L sauces recently and made some of my best pulled pork ever.

Think I’d just go with the box and modify coal/wood level to cook the style I want. Could do hill country style AND direct grilling on same cooker.
Chudbox for sure
Chudbox would be what I would choose. Shipping to Canada would be detrimental, let alone our horrific exchange rate.
I have a Chud Box and I absolutely love it. I see that you forgot to mention the Rotisserie attachment, unless I missed it, for the Chud Box.
I’d take the Chudbox over the grill, but both look like great cookers.
Both awesome machines! Now I'd love to see some of the dampeners from the grill on the chud box 🤣🤣
Chud Box definitely. Love the grill but I believe I'd have more use for the Chud Box (which I hope to get one day). I'd like a Bones too
If money is no option, I'm buying both!
I personally would go with the Chudbox. It just gives more options on cooking methods and I do like to smoke, make sausage, and direct heat chicken is the best. When it comes to burgers and hot dogs I have a propane grill that is fast and easy to use for that.
Just a quick early Happy Thanksgiving wish to you guys at Chuds BBQ!
BOTH if I had the money plus the chud press
If money was no concern?! I would want both of them! Lol I always want to use the best tool for the job. Contrast to how I work on my day job for my hobbies I do something chase perfection over good enough or at least until I get frustrated and then I do good enough lol.
Thank you for the behind the scenes tour and update. Now to plan my Black Feiday attack👹

Great video. I have a pellet grill now, so a Chudbox would be my next addition as I want the flexibility to do long direct heat cooking.
I think the grill would probably suit me better. Definitely need to pop down to Austin at some stage.
I choose the offset in your backyard 😉
is the self camera microphone dyeing? it has lot of squeaky audio from 7:45 to 13:06
I would buy the Chud Box in a heartbeat if my wife would let me! 😢
Which one could replace the Weber Kettle?
not available in Australia so much as I may wish to try one or the other 🤔
Chud Box jn stainless would be awesome. The PNW air ruins a lot of my stuff quickly. I’m working with a local metal worker to design my own, but would happily buy if it already existed.
Chudbox if money was no issue
Brad, you ma6 want to check your gimble, you hear a constant squeaking when you were at the shop.
Love the content man !!
Need a bigger one…. Double the size
Why not offer Chudbox in stainless?
Bradley…can I pick this up in Austin somewhere?? I’m local to the area and can load it on my trailer
We do offer local pickup in both Austin & Dallas! All orders must be placed online ahead of time as we do not have any readily available!

Good morning from bakersfield california any chance you can do a tamale recipe for the holidays 😊
The box. make a tray to put the fire closer to the meat for a grill> I'am a wood, charcoal man! These BBQ Pellets is great using charcoal or wood I will not own a pellet grill > NO WAY ! ITS STUPID
Can’t go wrong either way!!!
Someday a Chudbox for me
Box. 100%
International Shipping costs & Duties. Who covers ???

I need to get two more jobs. I want it all
So basically you're saying there's a third, yet to be built optimum solution based on both box and grill...
Any plans for a stainless chudbox?
At this time, we don't have plans to offer a stainless steel version due to the significantly higher production costs, which would make it less accessible to our customers.
Grill for me
Dude! I’m putting together an outdoor cooking area and was planning on emailing your team to ask this very question!
For the algorithms bay bay!!!
I think they are nice bbq's but a std weber kettle does the same/more and costs a lot less.. yes gettng to the coal is a bit harder.. will i pay 5 times more for a grill that has a door.. maybe.. but the chud box also smaller cooking surface.. id only buy if it was all stainless.. but then it would cost like 4k.. bit much for me... but still good design!
when is the chud cookbook coming out? the wife is looking for gift ideas
@ChudsBbq enjoy your content Brad.
Chud Day!!!
Stainless Chudd Box 2025?
At this time, we don't have plans to offer a stainless steel version due to the significantly higher production costs, which would make it less accessible to our customers.
Nice Video
Chudpit :))) there is nowhere i can get a good offset where i`m from, unless i make it
Where is Joe’s Korean newspaper?
Chudbox
I am a OSHA certified trainer. I’ll gladly trade some merch for certification cards.
Yo Bradley!

Quit making crap that doesn't hold up in Texas.
