@@_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
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!
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.
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.
"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.
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 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
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!
Glad to see you went with bolt on castors over the welded ones. Your customers will enjoy this feature as castors are the first thing that fails and need replacing.
its a work of art, I have been a tin bender for 40 years i want one whit rotisereie or how ever its spelled. next time i do ribs im goiing to use brine
Excellent Brad - It looks like you've made a lot of improvements to a unit that will outlive most of the folks that purchase it. - A family heirloom - Cheers!
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
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?
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??
Thats a great Pit! The only thing that would make it even better is adjustable height of the grill grate and or the fire basket. So that you will be able to do even really big things like a whole turkey inside it. And you will be able to use your coal more efficiently by just bringing it closer to the meat.
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.
Sooooo...... upcoming pipe smoker build coming up?? That would be awesome!! I love your videos and you have tried so many new bbq things from them. I have a 10ft joint of 20 inch that I want to make a smoker out of. My only hold up has been figuring out what to do where the fire box meets the cook chamber. If I should just weld them together and call it a day, or make some sort of diffuser plate, and I don't know how tall my stack should be for the size of my cook chamber for it to have good draw. Hope a coming soon video can answer some of this for me. Thanks for all you do to help all us backyard dudes make the best food we can.
Not sure if I get hungry and watch your bbq videos, or if I fall down the rabbit hole and it makes me hungry. I only wish I had the spare dough to ship one of those 2,000 miles.
Very nice and professional fabrication! Your videos are great i love watching and trying to recreate your cooks! You should offer a griddle plate also with the box!
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?
That's so cool. I was looking at it and I didn't see wheels which would make it a no go for me, but now I see it's got them. I'll have to take a look at the budget because I'd like one.
If you drop in that grill add on and put a water pan in there instead of charcoal. Could you get a bit of bottom protection well cooking a brisket in there? Kinda like the wsm? If you dont have an offset smoker.
That's a nice, versatile cooker. I have a grill and my main complaint is that the charcoal trays are really close to the grate. Works fine for steaks, but I want to also be able to get that distance between the charcoal and grates....think I'm going to have to get a Chud Box!
Love it!! I'm due for a new smoker grill and that's the perfect size for little old me! Unfortunately not within my S. S. Retirement budget. I'm sick of cheaply made grills for $250-$300 that only last 2 yrs. here in central Florida! I'll find something somewhere though! Nice job!
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 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?
Love watching the growth! Keep it up Bradley! CHUDSTIGE WORLDWIDE... wide.. wide
lol step bros is a staple in my life
Best BBQ channel hands down.
Love watching you work in shorts and slippers!!! Priceless!!😂
DUDE! That thing is awesome! Great job!

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.

I got my CHUD mini and just cant seem to stop cooking on it! This thing is perfect and customer support is fantastic.
Love the attention to detail -- seems every piece of this puppy was thoughtfully designed for a great cooking experience. Keep it up! :D
The Chud box has come a long way! This iteration looks amazing. Simple, but great attention to detail and built to last.
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 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The best part about this is that you get to design and use your own pit. That's dope to me.
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!
Thinking when my Webber kettle needs replacing that I’ll upgrade to a Chud Box. Looks awesome!
I was like where am I gonna put this. Well, I guess its time to say goodbye to my weber.
Congrats Brad. I hope you sell a million of em'
2k YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
Super happy for you, Brad! I can tell you're proud as well. As soon as funds are available I will definitely grab one!
Watching this on my back porch while finishing up some BBQ pork shoulders and enjoying an ice cold beverage. Solid product gonna need one!
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
Glad to see you went with bolt on castors over the welded ones. Your customers will enjoy this feature as castors are the first thing that fails and need replacing.
Well if it's priced anything like the Chud Press I'll need to take out a 3rd mortgage for this 🤣🤣
Congrats Brad! 👏 Very nice re-design! I love it!!!! Especially the grill basket and rotisserie add ons 😍
its a work of art, I have been a tin bender for 40 years i want one whit rotisereie or how ever its spelled. next time i do ribs im goiing to use brine
I’m for sure buying one of these when I get back from my time in Asia

Amazing work man! Love the design. The laser cut parts, CNC press broke pieces, TIG welds. Nice piece.
Looks like a weekend project to build this guy.
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?
Looks absolutely awesome you could send your first one to the UK 🇬🇧 for me to demonstrate 😂
This bbq is badass !
Like a mini NC pig cooker. Only with a pig cooker one puts coals in the corners, not a fire in the middle.
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.
Omg Brad!!! Those look amazing!!! Congrats. Love seeing this happen
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??
Just sittin' around the New Chud Box, makin' s'moes. You've got a friend in me.
Any possibility of having waterproof covers made and available for sale for the Chudbox?
Now that looks fan-tAstic! I was just thinking about the CHUD. Looking forward to seeing some more cooks on that bad Larry!
Don't forget the sides! Rookie move
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?
You could build fire in bottom, install an empty upper grill grate and block the holes and have a vertical smoker.
Fantastic cooker!
Hope you sell tons and go viral with em!

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
@@RadTac would love to see a 5th generation direct heat grill.

It's weird without the shed in the yard. Well done on the chudbox
Living the dream it's awesome seeing the progress love the build videos
Billions must grill
Now yuo see...
instant like, didn't even wait for the intro to finish
Ha! New Mini Chudbox!!! Lookin real nice my friend.
Whoa!!!! Lookin reeeeeal nice!!!! Looks excellent Brad! Them welds are premium!! Hope I can see one in person next week when I’m in Austin.
Way to go brother 🫵🏽🙏
I can't wait to save up to get one of these later down the road. Hopefully you're still making them
Love this new design. Keep the videos coming...
Congrats on the launch. I don't even have a need for it but I want it anyways. Beautiful design, great work.
WOW!!!!!
Super proud of the progress. Got me interested
beautiful finish on that product
That… is BAD ASS!!!
Slick and well thought out design sir!! I hope you sell lots of em.
Cheers from the Netherlands 🇱🇺
Not sure if I get hungry and watch your bbq videos, or if I fall down the rabbit hole and it makes me hungry. I only wish I had the spare dough to ship one of those 2,000 miles.
Just discovered your channel this thing looks amazing
With the new Chud box, there should be a Chud box series this summer instead of the Weber Kettle. Awesome job on the cooker by the way. 🤌
Would absolutely love one. Will have to save up for this one
That looks good to me!!! Good job!
Beautiful rig! I’m a huge “Chud head” but I don’t think it can beat my Hasty Bake
Its almost perfect, if it had a plancha/blacktop asseccory it would be perfect!
Nice design, looks sturdy.
R2 Chud 2 is looking sweet!
Very nice and professional fabrication! Your videos are great i love watching and trying to recreate your cooks! You should offer a griddle plate also with the box!
Everybody with an original Chudbox punching air right now.
That’s a gorgeous looking cooker, sir!
Sweet! The rotisserie is a great addition👍😊
Billions must cook
Fantastic!! So versatile, so fresh, and might I say, so clean!!
Needs us a Chuds Deep Fryer next, see what you can do about that Bradley!
super happy youre progressing supper sad if I buy one its not manufactured by you....
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?
Looks like the Weber kettle it’s ready to be retired… hope to see a griddle top accessory for this, it would fit great!
Love you work, keep up the good work!
Stepping that game up
That thing look awesome
That's so cool. I was looking at it and I didn't see wheels which would make it a no go for me,

congratulations.... looks like a great little cooker...
Really nice Brad, I plan to order one for sure. Especially when the grill basket is available. This is exactly what I have been looking for.
Sweet chud box! Just an FYI lock washer goes between the blot cap and washer.
CAlm down everyone with the washer stuff. It's a BBQ pit. lol
Looks like a thing of beauty ❤❤
Congratulations! Awesome to see the business grow!
Any possibility of selling the plans/blueprints in the future?
