M chuckbox Unboxed and Explained by DTBD

[@myopinion262]

There is no substitute for intelligent, well considered design. Couple that with high quality materials and we all have a winner. I was considering building my own version until I stumbled on your superlative product. Bravo!.

[@swami15]

That is one of the coolest, most efficient designs I have ever seen! You deserve a design award for it. All it needs is a method to keep beer cold. 🍺

[@alvinkong6528]

This is the best chuck box I’ve ever seen!! Awesome design!!

[@MrsMika]

While this is not in my budget, I appreciate all the effort put into this camp kitchen. It's beautiful, functional, weight conscious, and durable. The price is good for all that you get, because it is time saving. You don't have to shop around and hunt for a cooking pot set, or anything else that will fit in the camp kitchen, because it is all there. I suggest you do an ASMR video of someone assembling and using your product out in nature, with only the sounds of nature to hear. Have subtitles available but able to be turned off. Also upload the same video with you describing it for the visually impaired. Finally think about marketing this to the Preppers. This would be good for people after natural disasters. If the kitchen got flooded, your barbque floated/blew away, there is no electricity, you are staying at a shelter after a natural disaster but have special dietary needs you could go out to your car to make your own food easily. I hope you sell a gargantuan amount, because good design should be enjoyed.

[@ZenMika]

What type of fuel do the burners take? GREAT design btw!

[@daretobedifferentoutdoor]

The burners in our chuckboxes work with Screw On Gas Cartridge from Coleman, Primus, Optimus or other brands. From 100grams up to 600gram. Consumption is 125grams a hour for one burner. Any questions please ask. You could also send your questions to our e-mail [e-mail]

[@mjremy2605]

What he means is Propane, not Butane.

[@mikei8957]

I would like to see the top drawer enclosed. Otherwise it’s a neat concept.👍

[@daretobedifferentoutdoor]

Mike, Thank you for your answer. Enclosing the top drawer was also a goal of ours. But due to the fact that the burners have a depth of about 25mm coming through the top table. Enclosing the drawer would result in a lower drawer and that in turn would result in using smaller pans. Designing is always making considerations. Thanks again for your feed back. Team DTBD Outdoor

[@Delisha3542]

Can this item be bought or shipped to India🇮🇳

[@pirchen]

Great box. My question: you have to remove thr burners, to close the box? Even to get a flat table (or cookingplate), they must be removed?

[@daretobedifferentoutdoor]

Hi Pir, Its not obligated to remove the burners to use the table, only the size of the table will be a bit limited when the burners are still on top. If you just remove the windscreen there will be stil a huge table when the burners are on top. If you remove the burners and place the windscreen back in the table top you have the complete table. Hope this answers your question. BG Team DTBD Outdoor

[@IO-zz2xy]

Fantastic design and build quality. BUT NO CAN OPENER. A feel the cheese slicer should have been replaced by can opener as that is a mainstay of camping eating. Regards from South Africa

[@daretobedifferentoutdoor]

Kerry indeed. That is not in. I could reply that the Chuckbox is made of course to use only fresh ingredients, but I also know that I don't always do that myself. We will try to update it as soon as possible. The cheese knife is of course a nice nod to my home country as a designer. Team DTBD Outdoor

What will be the cost of this item in 🇮🇳 indian rupees

[@mjremy2605]

Current price: USD $1200 + Shipping + Customs = Rupees 95,384 + unknown extra costs. For this price my friend, make your own custom box. You can custom build this cheaper in India with a metal fabricator. Exchange rate is too high for this currency unless you are a diamond merchant or movie star.

Hi Mark, Saw your comment. Indeed Gas connection could be simplified. Due to the space and flexibilty demands. We came with this flexible solution. If you have any better idea and want to share it with us. We are definitly prepared to evaluate your idea. And when we use it we will pay you for your idea. In our newer video te explanation of the use of the gashose is a bit better demonstrated. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIauqniqd6uGers Maybe this video helps you to improve your idea.

We ship all over the world and people also like to have there products to be delivered without any damage. 100% without plastic is our goal. But not easy. One thing all plastics used are recycleble.

@jana It is indeed not cheap but a decent price. We pay our employees a decent salary and pay our suppliers a fair price. Jana, we believe that everyone should have a good life. That means that we do not bargain to the max. If you know of a place where raw materials are free and workers work for free, please tell those people to change their ways and ask for money for the work they do for others. Slave labour has been abolished for decades. Team DTBDOutdoor

@@daretobedifferentoutdoor please please .... Your product is just a sheet of steel . For raw materials the total cost is no more that 100 pounds . I am sorry , but I'm not an idiot . Lets do some more math : raw materials 100 pounds + all dishes another 70 for good ones + labour to put everything together ...let's say 100 total 270 🤣 . 100 pounds a day for worker is good money 💸 . So 900- 270 = 630 ...wow nice profit . If you are looking for a worker I am in . It i decide to do it for myself ...it would have cost me about max 200 pounds .

[@mjremy2605]

You have such a stylish and compact design it deserves to be in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in every US city. Unfortunately your marketing skills in photography, website design, KZbin video are poor. Spend some money and get this marketing side fixed. Your website is slow in loading photos, does not show all angles, is a klutzy design for displaying the product with very little magnification. No size and dimensions listed, no materials listed, functionality not explained on website. On KZbin the voice does not match the actions, due to dubbing in English. Speak German and add subtitles or redo demo in English. From my background as an IT Business Analyst and Project Manager, here are some tips to improve marketing and design of this amazing Chuck Box. 1. Please do not add any music to any demo. Golden rule. It interferes with analysis and evaluation, drowns out voice, and appeals to very few if any audience members. Silence is golden. 2. Redo this demo using a marketing person speaking in English. Better lighting, setting, photo angles. Especially lighting. No sweatshirt. T-shirt + blazer looks professional but casual chic. 3. Create two videos. 1 - Unboxing showing what is included and functional aspects like you showed us. 2 - Camp setting with trees, lake, a group of 3 - couple + child, showing use of product and scale in a campground. You need a sense of scale. 4. Find someone else to do the demo, not you as the engineer. Engineers are detail oriented, not audience oriented. This is your invention. You look at it with a creator's eye. The audience wants it to meet their needs and they want to know why they should pay $1000 for this tiny product. Get a marketing man/woman to tell them why. Engineers are product-oriented, not audience-oriented. Marketers have a way of connecting with the audience, as they are people persons. 5. Do not talk about details of unwrapping and how to open the plastic This is a video, not radio. We can see. Unwrapping each item is wasting viewer's time. Show what is included, how it packs back in, burner function, stand function, etc. 6. Fix your website. Hire a professional to create a better website. The current design is outdated with poor navigation and slow photo uploads that do not magnify. A website is a shop window that invites you in. You irritate the visitor with amateur design, and fail to make the sale. The visitor is paying for a luxury product and needs a limousine ride, not a vintage bumpy old truck ride to a farm. Your expertise lies in engineering, not presentation. Marketing is an art form. 7. Give specs on features: Burners - what is the BTU on each? Fuel - Propane or Butane? Show closeups of burners. Show the fuel source. Tank size? Dimensions - Chuck Box, Stand? 8. You need 4 plates + 4 bowls, not 9 plates. Enlarge drawer if you have to. How will you eat cereal or soup? 10. Chef knife needs a blade sheath. 11. Remove cheese slicer for US market, we don't eat that much Gouda! Add a can opener and bottle cap opener. 12. No plastic. Use cardboard padding instead for packing, please. 13. Shrink the size of the cutlery compartments. This is a 4-place serving, but each compartment is large enough to hold 10 pieces each of forks, spoons, knives, and this is wasted space. Have a compartment just for the knives with a foam or wood blade holder. Shrink every compartment for cutlery to half width. Add a thin rubber mat under to cut back on sound of rattling. 14. Add another silicone trivet to bottom of frying pan before placing stockpot in it. This prevents Teflon coating from being damaged, and no rattle noise of metal against metal. 15. Add a rod for a lantern. 16. Add a towel rack for cloth hand towel. 17. Make a bigger version for US market, this is too small. You need space for a French Press Coffee Maker, Tea, Sugar, Coffee, Spices, Oil. You need a taller stand, and more counter space and larger box overall. See Pungo Prairie Channel Lake Moomaw Chuck box for ideas on what to include for US market. This is the best handmade wooden chuck box I have seen on KZbin, while yours is the best metal version. Take a look also at NoviceDIYer on KZbin - he has two versions, same as Lake Moomaw. 18. Price it under $500, $1000 is too high. You are direct marketing so why not? 19. Sell on Amazon and Ebay as a form of marketing and to direct traffic to your website. More customers. 20. Selling on Ebay makes global shipping easier. Or perhaps Amazon India or similar. You have an A++ design on your model. It is superb design and a masterpiece of engineering. I am sure that MOMA in San Francisco would be happy to exhibit this as a modern art form. In which case, you could sell it for a lot at the museum store for the elites. But before that, fix the design for US market with my suggestions. It should sell well in the US for truck camping, cars, and tent camping. I would lower price and make it bigger for less elitist market and more volume sales. Use aluminum or stiff plastic to save on steel costs where possible to keep it affordable. The table countertop with extension pieces is a masterpiece of design. So are the burners. I absolutely love this model! If you want a detailed analysis with expansion measurements for US market, send me a sample box and I'll send you some design ideas for US market for additional features. I'm working on a super functional design for myself. The challenge is to build a very compact box, that is easy to use with minimal setup time, lightweight, with maximum functionality and meets all basic user needs.
