Have you seen one of these?

My son came carrying this in yesterday and ask me to season it. It’s supposedly an incredible press for every thing from smash burgers to tortillas. The upper section floats on two center pins that let it come down flat instead of hitting at the back first. I have to get it nice and non-stick black before we can try it out.

[Jerod Broussard]

Yeah, they are pretty cheap too.

I would love to have one but too expensive. I think the price came down though, I though they were $425 the last time I looked.

[Oak Smoke]

Not a lot down, I called and asked, $379.00.

Bradley simplified the design of the hinge/floating mechanism so that probably reduced production costs a tad. He commented on it in this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSy8riKw43U

The son is single and making a good living or I suspect I wouldn’t be looking at it now.

[Jerod Broussard]

Smaaaahhht son.

[STEbbq]

That looks very impressive. I’d love to see what you guys cook on it.

[Oak Smoke]

As soon as I can get it seasoned I will post pictures of what we do with it. My first try will be smash burgers.

Ask your son if there is a snake in his boot.

(If he is in any way familiar with Bradley Robinson / Chud's, he'll laugh instantly.)

[58limited]

If his son is there when he seasons it he should yell out "Hey, there's a snake in this Chud press!"

[Oak Smoke]

Michael_in_TX He laughed and then had to explain it to me.

So it sits directly on your grill to heat up? That’s some fancy designing going on there! Looking forward to seeing some action photos!

[Oak Smoke]

barelfly I’m told it can be used on a grill, a burner, or in an oven. I have one of the small Blackstone flat tops, I think I can lift the top off it and adapt this to fit there very easily.

There was a post earlier this year about this product. Beside making me want a burger, my only real thought was a George Foreman Grill would be a lot less expensive.

[Oak Smoke]

You are so right and I have a George Forman.

Here's Bradley's video (13 minutes) on the original model. The newer ones have just a handful of tweaks, primarily to make it more portable and make it easier to adjust a consistent "press" height.

Hmmmm, an echo in he room...............

[Michael_in_TX]

Uncle Bob Ha...totally missed your earlier reply. But too much Chud can never be a bad thing.

[Uncle Bob]

Michael_in_TX, he can be very entertaining..............and this way others who don't read everything posted will get benefit of the vid commentary......
