Tested this on a griddle for smash burgers and the difference is immediate. It's heavy enough that you get even pressure in one press, so you get that full sizzle and crispy crust edge to edge. No sticking when I used parchment like the guys at Barbecues Galore Edmonton suggested. Perfect size for a regular bun and easy to clean. Ideal for staycation grilling at home, but I'm taking it camping too - small and solid enough to throw in the bin.

Simple and sturdy tool for pressing out round smash burgers. Made of cast iron, it's the perfect weight, not too heavy or light. The wooden handle makes it easy to handle when hot. You could probably use this for making paninis or keeping something flat on the grill also. Its hatch marked design on the cast iron underside would be great for adding a good texture to your ground meat however, I used parchment paper to keep the surface clean. Overall, a great tool to add to your kit for making smash burgers quickly on the grill or inside in a griddle. - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
This cast-iron press with a wooden handle is simply indispensable for making burgers and steaks. The durable cast iron ensures even heat distribution, allowing the meat to develop a perfect crust every time. I really like the ribbed underside: it leaves attractive grill marks on the food, giving dishes an appetizing, professional look. The wooden handle stays cool during cooking, making it comfortable and safe to hold. Maintenance is also incredibly simple: just wash it with warm water and wipe it thoroughly dry right away.
We love this burger press, the cross hatch design helps press burgers down super flat. It feels heavy duty and like it will last long term. Recommend this is you’re needing a burger press. We have a few and this one is now our favourite. - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
I was so excited to try this burger press because I wanted to make smash burgers at home, and it was a great addition to my burger night! I love the idea of having a tool specifically for getting that classic smash burger shape. It made the process feel more organized, and I liked being able to make round burgers for assembling my burgers with cheese and all my favourite toppings. If you enjoy making smash burgers at home, this is a fun accessory to add to your BBQ collection. It definitely got me excited to make more burgers and experiment with different toppings for my next cookout! - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
This is such a great burger press. Its got the perfect weight, comfortable handle and a great size for smashing burgers. We made some delicious smash burgers using this and they turned out juicy and simply awesome. - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
This burger press made the juiciest smash burgers I’ve ever tasted! As I topped the meat ball with parchment paper I was able to press down and flatten the meat without much sticking on to the press. 100 per cent recommend ! - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
I previously made smash burgers by just squishing the meat down with a flimsy spatula and thought it was fine. using this burger press showed me how wrong I was, better burgers , more evenly browned and really great quality press. Its heavy and sturdy and im excited to use it for other cooking like steaks or bacon.
I really like how versatile this press is. I originally got it for making perfectly shaped burgers, and it works great for creating evenly sized patties that cook consistently. I’ve also used it for steak, and it’s been surprisingly useful for getting an even sear and helping the meat cook more uniformly. It feels sturdy, is easy to use, and cleans up quickly. A simple but practical kitchen tool that I’ve found myself reaching for more often than expected.
The Big Boy Mario Smash Brother Circular Burger Press has quickly become one of my favorite tools for making smash burgers. The sturdy cast-iron construction feels solid and durable, and the wooden handle gives you a comfortable, secure grip when pressing the meat. It makes it easy to get that classic thin, crispy-edged smash burger right on the griddle. The round press distributes pressure evenly, helping create a consistent shape and excellent contact with the hot cooking surface. It also looks great and feels like a serious piece of burger-making equipment. If you love homemade smash burgers and want a press that is heavy-duty, easy to use, and built to last, the Big Boy Mario is definitely worth adding to your grilling setup. Highly recommended!
Heavy weight metal and great handle. Every burger came out with a nice crispy edge which made each burgers taste that much more satisfying! Will definitely recommend this to friends - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
I love this cast iron burger press. You don't have to just use it on burgers! I was making char siu with pork tenderloin and really wanted to get those grill marks and this press was perfect for it! - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
This is exactly what I needed to make my son's favorite smash burger! Cannot believe I've never thought of this before! So amazing to have discovered Barbecues Galore. - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
My husband and I love making burgers and our biggest problem is they always seem to puff up, using the Big Boy Mario: A Smash Brother Circular Burger Press really helped keep our burgers flat as well as circular while cooking!
Perfect product to make any patties crispier. Love this product! the burger press is made up of such high quality, sleek in design and even better in working. Used it to make sure my patties are grilled well and it did not disappoint.
I was thrilled to have a chance to review @Barbecues Galore store and products in exchange for my honest review. First off the store is amazing from grills and griddles to spices and accessories it is very overwhelming. The showroom experts are knowledgeable and there to give you ideas and suggestions. I was in awe of all the options for your outdoor living space . Camping, tailgating, cottage or home they have all the gear you need to make it perfect. I received an amazing grill cleaner with its strong triple row bristles , that really gets the job done. Then there are the easy squeeze bottles . They are great for liquids like sauces and oils . It gives you so much control over your flavor. they are the perfect cooking or grilling addition. Finally the burger press, it makes the perfect smash burger. It has a nice weight and cleans like a dream! The accessories fit into my life perfectly and are high quality. Overall the entire experience was wonderful. I would say the only down side is that the price point in the store is definitely on the higher end and unfortunately not in my budget, however one can dream! So if you are looking to up your BBQ game or set up your outdoor living space then this is definitely the one stop shop! #BBQ #outdoorlife #cookingtiktok #barbeque #summer
I really like this burger press. It is simple to use , the size is great, and it feels sturdy and well made. I’ve used it a few times already and it has made making burgers at home much easier. I would definitely recommend it.
The showroom is clean, vast and organized. Feels like walking into my own backyard with all the different setups. Friendly atmosphere. The Smash Brother burger press was awesome. It smashes the meat with ease and makes them the perfect consistency. It’s heavy duty but easy to clean and takes no effort to press onto the burgers to get the desired effects! - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
I used this burger press, as expected...on a burger! It did a fine job at crushing my homemade burgers into a thin slab so my family could enjoy some homemade smash burgers. I can also see this working great indoors to when you need something heavy to to get extra crispy skin while pan-frying chicken thighs.
We love a good smash burger, and this was the perfect gadget to make them at home. I will say we had to lightly grease it before using as we found the first few burgers stuck to it when pressed down. I love that it’s made from cast iron and has a sturdy wooden handle that keeps your digits away from the flame. - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
We really enjoyed using the Big Boy Mario Smash Brother Burger Press. The large, round surface made it super easy to get nice, evenly smashed burgers, and it felt sturdy and comfortable to use. Our burgers did stick slightly to the press at first, but a little shake released them without much trouble. We’ve since learned that using a piece of parchment paper between the burger and the press can help prevent sticking, so we’ll definitely be trying that next time. Overall, it made smash burger night really easy and gave us great results. We’ll absolutely be using it again! - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
The best thing about this burger press is that it's made from cast iron and it's heavy duty. It feels solid in the hand and easy to navigate around the skillet/griddle. I prefer the round shape to the rectangle as it is more versatile. There are slight ridges on the pressing side so it's best to use a parchment paper between it and the meat. The handle is comfortable and it does a great job for making smash burgers. The store was big and impressive, there are so many different types of grills, smokers, outdoor kitchen set ups and accessories and also sauces! I didn't know they had so many things including outdoor furniture. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Truly a BBQ lover's dreams
We absolutely loved the smash burger press! It was easy to use and helped make our burgers flat and crispy. It was easy to clean after too. We loved the massive show room and all of the accessories that were easy to find.
This burger smasher is great! Its surprisingly light weight but very sturdy and made quick work of flattening my burgers! It was easy to clean and nothing stuck to it.
I haven’t ever made smash burgers at home until now and this tool was perfect for it not only is it great quality but I found it easy to clean and use. It’s great for making large size smash burgers or even pressing chicken to get that nice grill mark. Overall I love this tool and can’t wait to make more burgers this year. - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
Was such a great friendly and welcoming atmosphere when walking into the store, the employees were super polite and helpful. I’d definitely return to this store again to get all my bbq essentials. We bbq all year round so these items will go to good use and be super convenient for our weekly bbqs with friends and family ! - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore.
The stainless steel versions of these smashers are easier to clean but I think the cast iron ones (like this) are better for holding the heat and searing the patties.
Our family absolutely loved the Big Boy Round Grill Press and Burger Smasher from Barbecues Galore. It was love at first sight when we saw this beautiful smasher, however it did take some getting used to as we had never made smash burgers before. Rule number 1…have grill hot and ready. Rule number 2…smash the burgers while on the grill and not on a cutting board or any other surface as it will stick. Rule 3 which is very important…use a small square of parchment paper between the hamburger meat and smasher to avoid the mess of the meat sticking to the smasher. Feel free to use a little spritz of non-stick spray as well. We learnt all these the hard way haha but in the end it all worked out perfectly. Absolutely loved the fact that this Smasher is cast-iron for excellent heat retention and carries some significant weight to it. It has a beautiful wooden handle and large surface area for those big man burgers. Overall this was a Smash Hit in our kitchen and we will definitely be using it for all our bbq events. - Product gifted by Barbecues Galore
