Chud Press

Great addition to my outdoor kitchen. The only is be careful if you prop the lid up because it can slam down easily.

about to buy a press ... what are the base dimensions (outside dimension, width lower flange, height to press surface) - pre-planing to find a suitable propane burner setup and later build into a patio cart

The family and I are loving our new Chud Press! Even my 13 year old is loving making grilled cheese and quesadillas on this way over built awesome hunk of steel. I informed her she gets it in my will.

VERY GOOD CONSTRUCTIO)N !!!
This will last for YEARS !!!
I LOVE THE HINGE
I want to order one and send to my son in Missouri, BUT can not seemk to get another one !!!!????

While the new Chud press is awesome to use, I do have an issue with the lid not staying up when opened. The stainless steel lock nut on the right side backs off (gets loose) when closing the lid and have to retighten the lock nut every time you open the lid. I even tried swapping the lock nuts from the left to the right side with no luck, same issue. My solution was to place two metal star washers on the right side between the brass/copper flat washer, and then retighten the lock washer. The lock nut still rotates when opening & closing the lid but maintains enough tension to keep the lid open without retightening. Hope my fix lasts...
