@@_thisisdavid Do you have a running list in your head? Because I have a running list in my head. Like to replace the 14 year old car in three years. If I get a new truck, like Frontier or Taco w/ manual, I'd like a fishing kayak and trailer. There's one shotgun that I've had my eye on. And I think I'm done. When your nest is empty, you gotta fill that void with something, am I right? LOL
You probably didn’t have much choice as to the price since you are farming these out….but for $2000 it’s a Kamado Joe all the way. Or I would order a similar design for 1/2 price from Allen’s in LA.
Pretty sweet! One issue though. How do you use the rotisserie? Looks like the skewer has to be set before you can put your meat on and then remove it. Am I missing something?
I like it and really would love to have one. But for $2k it should come with a rotisserie and the upper charcoal basket for direct grilling. That’s really priced way to high!
@@ryanfriedrich7202 not in a million years, not with this quality of materials and construction. The price is high but it has to be to get this quality and still be profitable to the company.
I'm no engineer or anything... but shouldn't the left side be a slot not a hole if you want to use the rotisserie? As it sits now you'll have to hold the chicken over the coals while trying to thread the rod through one hole the chicken and out the other. And then reverse that when it's done. I would think it'd be better to be able to stick and secure the chicken in the kitchen bring it out to the chudbox and lock it in. ... If I'm wrong what am I missing?
What the temp range on the chud box ? Are you able to cook pizza on this at 600-700 deg?. Also if you ad a place for a heat deflector I bet this would become the ultimate smoker/ grill box
I am a fan of American ingenuity and this mini Chud Box absolutely IS. Just ordered one for June production and it’ll be a welcome addition on the ranch along with my other grills, my offset smoker and barrel smoker. Something about that TX style direct heat BBQ that justifies this purchase of a truly unique cooker. Well done Brad! 🤠
It’s absolutely as advertised y’all. It’s extremely well made, easy to assemble and easier to fire it up. It’s a joy to cook on and I can see it replacing 3 cookers as it really does it all other than “low and slow”. That said you can still smoke on it. Absolutely happy with my purchase of the Mini Chud Box!
"Boiled linseed oil" is not just linseed oil that has been boiled - it contains things that are not food safe to make it polymerize faster -which is what it's being used for in this video. Linseed oil will polymerize hard in a few days to a few weeks with heat - where boiled linseed oil does what you see here, in just a few minutes or hours. I note that Brad did not use it inside the pit, and that's good. personally, I'd stick with food safe linseed oil on the outside and do a lot of cooking for the first few weeks to build up the coating on the outside like you'd do with a cast iron skillet. But if you do use boiled linseed, don't be tempted to use it on the inside.
I love the shiny black finish that the linseed oil produces, but yeah, after seeing the Mad Scientist video, my immediate reaction to this was, "eeeeeeeeeeeehhh!!!"
Yea I'd just use Crisco or regular veg and keep it tarped when not in use. You would probably have to refresh the seasoning based on how frequently and what temps you cook at.
Keep it up my guy, you are a great youtuber and love your recipes, energy, and overall content. I hope to see you hit 1 million this year jest keep doing what you're doing and try to get some collaboration going. Wishing you the best from Dallas!
Beautifully done, Bradley!! A work of BBQ Art. Please tell me what is the distance between the bottom of the firebox and the cooking grate?? 18" or so??
To use that rotisserie, wouldn't you need to put it through the first hole, get all the chicken on there, then get it through the next hole? Rotisseries I've seen usually have a notch you can just set the whole thing on instead of threading through holes, right?
This was my exact thought! Did you notice how he didn’t show the removal of the chicken from the spit, but cut right to the chicken off the spit in the kitchen? A slot is required for a rotisserie system. …and for that reason, I’m out.
Love seeing the iterative process in action! was a great 1st design and this redesign is equally great. you can really see how bringing in the manufacturing company helped out and simplified the design with bends and plasma cut parts.
Love the new chud box. 2 things I would change is 1 a cutout for a removable ash tray on the bottom. And 2 U out the sides for the rotisserie so your not loading and unloading the shaft over the heat. (To eliminate any chance of dropping in hot coals) Make slide in covers when rotisserie is not being used. Just ideas.
Dude, 1000% props for designing and manufacturing something super high quality that is also made in the states by a small business. Your the fucking man 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
With the Chud press being $400 I joked that this thing would be $4000. I wasn't far off. $2000!? I can get a top of the line smoker with all the bells and whistles for that much.
Looks nice. I like to do chicken wings instead of biscuits for my "Don't let the fire go to waste," test. Because who wouldn't rather have wings than biscuits anyway?
Nice one. I always liked your content. There's one but... But the spring washer goes first on the bolt. Then the washer. You made it other way around (facepalm)
Sooooooooo..... the question is.... who is making these? Are they third party manufactured? Didn't make sense that it was coming to the Chud door via freight....Hmmmmmmm
Bruh, 2Gs for the chudbox?!?! It better come painted, someone builds it for me, installs it and provides 24 hour customer support Jesus Christ that’s a lot of bread for a residential unit
Hi. Just found your videos. Love the chud box!!! What is the distance from the grate to the lid? Will a whole turkey or a larger pork butt fit on grate and still be able to close lid? Also, from the video it doesn’t look like grates can be used with rotisserie. Is that true? Thanks love your videos
Congratulations, your product is much admired, and the thoughtfulness of design is obvious. My last 25 years I was a modelmaker for the "worlds largest supplier of tool storage" hence your 46" unit in the shop. You have made a very needed small cook machine, and did it very well. I can see some of the top quality functions to your unit that I would have insisted on. Good luck, I hope you become very tired keeping up. Remember it's only fun if you enjoy it. I literally whistled going to work. I wish you the same. Ed
Keep it up, American made products, he has to stay in business, and small businesses are where it's at. God bless him in his endeavors.. Wade Out. One side note. Have you thought about a military design one🤔..
Forget all the haters complaining about the price. If you use this cooker for even just 10 years thats less than 17 bucks a month. Don’t moan if you can’t afford it, there are similar options at lowes you can rust out and replace every 3 years
China is about 30 percent more efficient as they have industrial capitalism. US finance capitalism has so many rents and rake offs for the finance sector, labor cannot compete. American high end grills are the only possibility. If you go low end, that has to be Chinese.
How are you getting a loaded up rotisserie in position though? Because right now it looks like you need to put on the chickens for example, inside the chudbox, above the coals.
I was just in the market for a new grill and noticed a lot of poorly constructed grills. This one looks like a battle ship. Guess I'm going to get ahold of these guys in Texas and see what I can do
Really appreciate your stuff but disappointed you had to pull the old build videos down. Q cooked on homemade pits by relatable guy made it. Then you could build or buy and it worked so well that you could not keep up made the channel etc. Now it buy only option so not so cool but still cool
How many racks of ribs can you it on the chud box? Been doing direct heat bbq’n on my wsn but hard to get more than 2 racks on with it being round grate.
How do you get the coals going and the get the bird on your rotisserie? You made two holes vs typical drop in like on a weber. Were you planning on putting the rod through the first eye dropper hole, sliding the bird on the rod and then going thru 2nd hole?
That rotisserie looks like it would be a pain in the ass to load! If you have a load of coal burning and you're trying to land a roast or chicken or whatever that is not very hand friendly considering you'd have to load your meat on the spit over the heat instead of the kitchen counter like you should be!. Those holes should be slots so you can lower the loaded spit with ease
Want one of these cookers. What kind of tongs are those and where to get them? I seen them a few days ago online but cant seem to find them now... EDIT, found them again lol
So... are you supposed to prepare the rotisserie spit directly over the fire!? There's a reason grills have a drop-in slot for the spit instead of holes.
Man I love your stuff, I wish it was more accessible in the UK, cost me nearly £100 in shipping and import fees just to get 4 x Chud Rub, 2 x Pepper and the Knife Roll 😩.
Find a pit fabricator to construct you your own version in UK (There are people that specialise in the UK but any decent fabricator could make something like this with a decent drawn plan). Judging by his original videos literally showing how to make one, he doesn't mind people being inspired by his designs.

Heads up...i think you want to have your lock washer between the bolt head and flat washer.
Yup..I was going to mention that
@@machinistbytrade I'm not trying to be that guy but they are arranged a certain way for a reason. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who caught it!
Definitely lock washer on the bolt head not flat washer.
Indeed
Split lockwashers like that are a waste of time anyway. They actually make it easier for bolts to loosen under vibration.
I like it. Unfortunately, it's way out of my price range for now.
me too thats why imma build my own similar thing.. good to have a welder
I hope you are still making these after my daughter graduates from college, because I think I'd like to buy one as a graduation present... to myself.
I would like to thank myself, for putting up with you for all of these years. Now spread your wings and fly. Because I have things to buy for me

Will you still be making these when I become a millionaire? Because that's the only way I'm going to be able to afford it! Lol 😂😂😂

Brad,
I was thinking as you were blacking this beauty out you were going to say " Don't forget the sides!"
Love the redesign. Very well thought!!
Come on people, A rookie mistake. Need I say more?
Any possibility of having waterproof covers made and available for sale for the Chudbox?
Well if it's priced anything like the Chud Press I'll need to take out a 3rd mortgage for this 🤣🤣
Pretty sweet! One issue though. How do you use the rotisserie? Looks like the skewer has to be set before you can put your meat on and then remove it. Am I missing something?
Maybe I've missed the boat but I thought you built these things yet I saw it come off the back of a truck. What gives?
So each one is not made by you now ? That was the best part 🤷🏻♂️
I like it and really would love to have one. But for $2k it should come with a rotisserie and the upper charcoal basket for direct grilling. That’s really priced way to high!
Yeh more like 500 bucks
If you want a 20 gauge chinesium steel pit then buy one, if you want to pass it on for 5 generations get this. Simple as.
@@RadTac be honest, in 5 generations our people will be consuming a pill for their whole meal. people aint gonna BBQ

Sadly it's fragile... edit: Black looks better!
So your not making the chud box yourself and the lid looks pretty flimsy when you open it. I mean it moved alot about a inch not strong enough

Put chicken on spit.
Slide left side of spit through hole from the inside of the pit.
Slide right side of spit through hole and into turning mechanism
DUDE! That thing is awesome! Great job!
What the temp range on the chud box ? Are you able to cook pizza on this at 600-700 deg?. Also if you ad a place for a heat deflector I bet this would become the ultimate smoker/ grill box

CAlm down everyone with the washer stuff. It's a BBQ pit. lol
super happy youre progressing supper sad if I buy one its not manufactured by you....

Maybe use them in a giveaway??
$2000 ?????????????????????????????????
I'm making an UGLY DRUM SMOKER
Less money and far more control over the heat.
It’d be cool if you could raise the fire closer to the grate instead of an insert. Also, is there a plate or something for indirect cooks?
Who's building those for you
Grill basket and rotisserie are huge! Only reason I couldn’t justify it before was it needed to still serve the purpose of a grill for me.
Don't forget the sides! Rookie move

Would you ever consider letting one of your oldies go?
Greetings from the Island of Crete, may I ask on 11:20 all the other Grills see on the right side, what Grills are that? Thank you!!🎈🍻
China is about 30 percent more efficient as they have industrial capitalism. US finance capitalism has so many rents and rake offs for the finance sector, labor cannot compete. American high end grills are the only possibility. If you go low end, that has to be Chinese.
Just a thought, what if all your packaging was grill-able, like everything wrapped in good paper and packed in wood chips…
Do you ship the UK? Emerging market for real BBQ!!
If they become available at Walmart for under $150.00 I’d probably take a poke at it.
How are you getting a loaded up rotisserie in position though? Because right now it looks like you need to put on the chickens for example, inside the chudbox, above the coals.
The graveyard would make for good giveaways, just sayin 😊

Hear me out. Mini Chud box attached to a smoker. With a panel that slides in out or some way to divert the fire/smoke to the larger chamber.
Congrats Brad! 👏 Very nice re-design! I love it!!!! Especially the grill basket and rotisserie add ons 😍
So let me get this straight. You had it delivered. Which means someone else is making it for you now...?
It's awesome. Shipping to Ireland?
Like a mini NC pig cooker. Only with a pig cooker one puts coals in the corners, not a fire in the middle.
Hey...how you doen good looken...the new box looks fantastic......
Love it but I just can't justify that price tag for a backyard grill
What’s the price on one of these?
Really appreciate your stuff but disappointed you had to pull the old build videos down. Q cooked on homemade pits by relatable guy made it. Then you could build or buy and it worked so well that you could not keep up made the channel etc. Now it buy only option so not so cool but still cool

How do you get the coals going and the get the bird on your rotisserie? You made two holes vs typical drop in like on a weber. Were you planning on putting the rod through the first eye dropper hole, sliding the bird on the rod and then going thru 2nd hole?

People saying 2k for the pit is expensive have not dealt with steel or bought a pit from a pit maker. 🤣
I wonder how much whole chickens this pit can cook??? this is a very versatile cooker
So... are you supposed to prepare the rotisserie spit directly over the fire!? There's a reason grills have a drop-in slot for the spit instead of holes.
Hey Brad, will you sell me that Kamado Joe Jr when I get a Chud Box?
If the top was deeper with another cooking grate up top, it might be worth it. Maybe?
It's a nice grill......but it's at the same price range as many others.
my pit boss churns out chicken thighs that look that good or better and it's indirect heat...
Man I love your stuff, I wish it was more accessible in the UK, cost me nearly £100 in shipping and import fees just to get 4 x Chud Rub, 2 x Pepper and the Knife Roll 😩.
