What's the best meat press for say, smash burgers? I don't know if I'd trust one with a wooden handle for longevity. Also one that has flex to it might not be the best.

I use the big spatula from Blackstone along with their heave duty scraper to smash it down. The scraper works well to scrape the burger off of the bottom of the spatula if it sticks.

Retired, living in Western Mass. Enjoy music, cooking and my family.
Current cookers Weber Spirit 3 burner. A 22" Kettle with vortex SnS and OnlyFire pizza oven. A Smokey Joe and the most recent addition a Pit Barrel Jr with bird hanger, 4 hooks and cover. ThermoWorks Smoke 2 probe, DOT, ThermoPop and a Thermapen Mk4. Recently added 2 TempSpike wireless meat thermometers.
I use the bacon press. Did it last night. Also, mine has a wooden handle. Not sure if you are talking about a bacon press. It's hefty and well made. No issues. Press on!

Hey Jim, does your handle with the spiral bail handle get too hot to handle or can you use it bare handed? I really like this one myself.

I use the same one, except splat the ball o beef on the blackstone, then press down with the spatula and apply pressure with the lodge press on the spatula. If you apply pressure and slide the spatula off the smash burger it keeps you from having to use parchment paper.
No issues with the wire handle heating up.

Alabama Smoke - Tom, I can use it bare handed. When pressing burgers, I don't leave it on the griddle top, so its not getting too hot. When using it to flatten out bacon, along with a second press I have, I have always been able to handle it with my bare hand. The wire coil around the handle seems to stay cool.

Current line-up of cookers: Oklahoma Joe's Bronco Pro, Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050, Blackstone ProSeries 4 Burner 36" griddle, Weber Performer Deluxe and Weber Smokey Joe.
I really like the Dexter Russell turner I picked up on Amazon last year. It is a beast, and is great for scraping those patties off the griddle and keeping all the seared crust intact.
