We are taking barbecuing to the next level with the direct heat Mini Chud Box!!

[@williamwhite1997]

Enjoy your Chudd Box. Looking forward to some upcoming cooks.

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks for watching! We are loving the Chudd Box!

[@daryldesjardins]

Chud's BBQ ,, seen it. your obviously investors or principles. great idea... but at least powder coat ,,, paint ... totally looks unfinished. .. my hats off to you, way to go. !!!

[@jacobsnow007]

What do you mean investor or principles? I don't understand?

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks for watching - we really appreciate the support. We are going to work on a solution for the bare steel - stick around to see 👀!

[@jacobsnow007]

I definitely recommend to use the chudrub on those chickens especially LaVern. And for the chud box id either keep a cover on it or find a way to coat it with oil or coat it so it doesnt rust.

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks for watching! We have a great cover for it now. Happy cooking!

[@berbeque]

Nice! I would invest in a blower to get the fire raging hot!!

[@sideninehomestead]

Thank you for watching...and we agree. Adding it to the shopping list!

[@fireinside1984]

This is something that is you take care of it you can pass it down to your kids and so on. It's way overbuilt but that is never a bad thing.

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks for watching! Yes - it's an amazing BBQ. We are looking forward to many years of delicious food. Cheers 🍻

[@Isovapor]

It’s 3/16” steel. Oklahoma Joe uses larger 1/4” steel and you can watch how easily they rust and rot with heat. This Chud box is a 5 year throw away as designed. Cheers!

[@fireinside1984]

@@Isovapor Good to know :)

[@Isovapor]

@@sideninehomestead Lookimg forward to see how many actual years you get from 3/16” steel. Oklahoma Joe is a thicker 1/4” steel and the firebox might last two to three years. Keep us updated on the 3/16” steel bottom of your new Chud box. Please comment on warpage, rust, and any burn through. Thank you! Cheers!

[@Mr.Schweetness]

Dont listen to the haters. Ok joes are 14 guage, not 1/4inch. Making it half the thickness of the chudbox. The bottom is reinforced so you will be fine, brad has been cooking on his for years with no issues. No need to paint, just oil and season and you will be good.

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks for watching and for your support for the channel. We will probably already some changes to our set-up but we also feel that the ChudBox will last a long time and perform great!

[@24Mangible]

Make sure you oil it up with Pam and do another burn off to season it and prevent rust

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks for watching! What do you think about the legs - we were thinking to paint them with a high temp rustoleum??We are open to any and all suggestions 😉

[@24Mangible]

@@sideninehomestead that would be different I would just pam spray the entire chud box then fire it up to season it. I have a custom built style chudbox with my own twist to it myself. I love to cook on it!!

[@dannyibarra3687]

Looks amazing! I follow him too. And don’t listen to all these comments about Weber kettle can do the same. It can but you got a bad ass pit that’s gonna last longer. It’s like saying why buy an Escalade when u can buy a Kia.

[@sideninehomestead]

LOL! That's a great comparison. We love the chudbox - it does an amazing job...it's a work horse. Thanks for watching!! ~Jodi

[@wwjj64]

keep the lid open untill you have a good lit fire

[@sideninehomestead]

Ahh why didn't I think of that?! Thanks so much. Learn new techniques each day! Happy cooking! ~Jodi

[@Trumpetmaster77]

very nice! have you cooked on it yet?

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks so much for watching! Check out the latest video on chicken thighs...they turned out amazing!

[@richardscarlett7942]

apparently, hes having them made. He's not making them himself?

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks for watching. I am not sure but you're probably right as the volume now is so large. The quality is there though - they have not cut any corners. We love ours!

[@stephonahrens6748]

I'm pretty sure he makes alot of the parts himself and has some parts machined to make it easier and cleaner, check out his channel he shows pretty much everything he can

[@Isovapor]

I wouldn’t start my coals inside the floor of the 1/4 inch steel bottom of the Chud pit. Buy a $1 12” square concrete walking stone from Walmart to light your chimney. Also buy any grate you can to lift the hot charcoal bed off of that 1/4” piece of steel. 1/4” steel is thin and prone to burn through and rust. Cheers!

[@sideninehomestead]

Thank you for watching - appreciate your ideas...and you're right! We will make those modifications for going forward. Happy cooking!

[@hojobbq]

Is it 1/4 inch steel - web site says 3/16th - does he reinforce the bottom?

[@Isovapor]

@@hojobbq no clue. If it’s only 3/16” steel, you’ll definitely need a grate to lift the hot coal bed off of that thin steel bottom or it won’t last long. I wouldn’t build a hamster cage out of 3/16” steel.

[@Excelgam]

I almost laughed out loud seeing this genius say OK Joe is made of 1/4” steel - it’s not. They use 14 gauge metal, which translates to 0.07 inches. If you know the math, which I doubt, that’s less than half of the thickness of 3/16”.

[@DavidJohnson-dk3bf]

It looks super cool but overkill. Webber kettle will do the same thing

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks so much for watching! We love our Weber Kettle too....it is so versatile. Happy cooking!

[@richardscarlett7942]

dont get me wrong, im not knocking him if hes having a production facility make them. One person cabt keep up with that kind of demand with everything else he does

[@sideninehomestead]

Totally agree! The quality is top notch which is what we care about.

[@Lonewolf_1776]

It's crazy what you can sell people when you have a following

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks for watching. We are proud to support a small business and especially purchasing a great product that was made here in the USA 🇺🇸!

[@petitjeanriverhomestead]

I have to up my cooking videos but I have a few

[@sideninehomestead]

Thanks for watching! We will check out your channel - that's the great part of the KZbin community....learning from each other! Happy cooking 🙂

[@TravisHelps]

Weber kettle does the same thing. Is this expensive box going to make the food taste better? HELL NO. Save your money.

[@sideninehomestead]

We do love our Weber Kettle too - great tools for making excellent food. We appreciate you watching the video!

[@stephonahrens6748]

I use my kettle daily and love it but they dont last forever, this box will last generations

[@williamwhite1997]

Great comment from a guy named TravisHelps. You'd think with that name you'd be more positive.
