favorite all summer dish - kebabs.These juicy pieces of crispy and mouth-watering aroma of "haze" was prepared by stringing advance marinated meat on sharp twigs - skewers, roasting over hot coals, laid on the bottom of the barbecue.The very design of the barbecue is usually a metal box on legs, perforated for air circulation and small recesses in the walls for the convenience of placing skewers.

kinds of metal barbecues

Based on the size grills are divided into:

• - stationary;
• - portable.

barbecues Stationary equipped to suburban areas.Often they are made with elements of forging, stone trim, or mounted on a brick base.This adds to the aesthetic appearance and exclusivity.If the grill is equipped with a canopy or set the gazebo, then prepare it kebabs and other dishes are possible in virtually any weather.

Stationary barbecue with his hands

Portable barbecues are used in hiking, at the exit of the nature.They are small in size and weight.Often these barbecues are formed in a metal briefcase.

most simple model of a portable barbecue is a two metal frame on which are stacked skewers.Lack of small portable grills in at the same time it is impossible to prepare a large number of portions of kebab.

Portable barbecues

More complex, but also heavier models can be supplemented with a small pull-out table, bars, adjustable pressure jet.But these improved versions have an impressive weight, so they are more comfortable to transport by car, rather than manually move.

Metal grills

If we classify barbecues on the thickness of the metal from which they are made, the barbecues are divided into:

1. - thin-walled;
2. - thick.

thin-walled usually make portable barbecues.Steel small thickness makes it easier to model, but it suffers durability.The thin-walled Mangalia can be used only finished the coals, store-bought or pre-cooked over a campfire.If you cook the coals directly in a metal box construction, steel rapidly burned and BBQ will become worthless.

thick-walled usually made stationary models.For this purpose, the steel thickness more than four millimeters.Such variations are significantly more expensive, but much more lifetime than those barbecues with thin walls.

Thick barbecues

BBQ out of the barrel

Standard BBQ has a rectangular cross section, but make their own hands a device for cooking barbecue can be from a gas cylinder or an old barrel.But it is not recommended to use the capacity of a fuel and lubricants.Important to the metal thickness sufficient to enable design of long-term use.

line cutting drums to create a barbecue

Besides the drums need: welder, Bulgarian, drill, metal corners.

1. Make the layout and cut off the top half of the Bulgarian flanks, leaving in place the ends.From the cut of the cover subsequently produce.

2. From metal corners make legs for barbecue.Cut corners into four equal parts and welds them to the end of the barrel.

3. Measure the length of the barrel and cut off two equal lengths of the corner.They will serve as a support for the skewers.Make cuts on the corners of every 4-6 centimeters (guides for skewers) and welds them to the inside of the barrel.

4. To cover must be welded metal hinges and two handles.This will protect the grill and coals in the event of rain.

molded metal grill with your hands

Collapsible brazier consists of four legs, the same number of rectangular walls and perforated bottom.

Before you begin, do the drawings, and preparing materials.

Materials Needed:

1. - rolled steel sheet;
2. - metal corners or rods and nuts, of which produce barbecue legs;
3. - welder and electrodes;
4. - drill;
5. - Bulgarian with cutting discs or hacksaw.

perform drawing

preferred to carry out the drawing of the future barbecue on the sheets in a cell.Be sure to indicate the length of the legs, the size of the barbecue, specify the distance between the perforations on the walls and the guide chamfers for skewers.The optimal number of facets - 8 pieces.The distance between the bottom ventilation openings should be selected from 7 to 10 cm, better positioning them at a height of 5-10 cm from the bottom of the brazier.The length of the legs is selected individually.

The procedure works

1. on sheet metal layout make sides and bottom of the barbecue.The thickness of the metal take 1.5-2 mm, but can be and thicker, it will increase the life span and ensure optimal heating of coal and food.
2. By marking cut metal using a grinder or a hacksaw for metal.
3. drills perform perforations on the walls.
4. grinder or hacksaw perform cuts on the upper edges of the walls of the barbecue.
5. welding connect the bottom and walls of the barbecue.To make
6. legs metal corners are tapered at one end portion of the metal cutting angle.This is necessary in order to better BBQ served on the ground.
7. welding connect the corners and metal box.

If the legs are made of metal rods, then to the corners of the bottom of the barbecue welded 4 identical screws, rods divided into four parts, each of which carry the thread.Thus, a grill with collapsible legs, spun down, if necessary.

Another option collapsible legs - metal corners with holes for bolts that can be screwed to the duct grill, and after use, unscrew and lay down.But it will have to wait a metal cooling after cooking.

If the legs are long enough, it is advisable to connect them in pairs by metal webs to strengthen the structure.

Collapsible metal grill with your hands

To make a fully collapsible metal grill, the welding machine is not required.But useful drill, drill, hacksaw or a Bulgarian with a cut-off wheels, nuts and bolts, steel sheet 1.5-2 mm thick, metal corners for legs, roulette.

The first two jobs are the same as in the performance of, the disposable barbecue - drawing and cutting out pieces of sheet steel barbecue.But when the collapsible barbecue should add 3-4 cm at the joints.

Collapsible metal grill - circuit

on the side and end walls of the barbecue make small incisions and bend the sheets so that there was a possibility of joining and stacking corners bottom.

for a firm connection of parts at the time of cooking, in the lateral edges of drill holes for screws.Feet do

of pointed corners in a similar way by drilling holes in the walls to connect the barbecue and legs bolted walls.

last point - the assembly of the finished design.

collapsible metal grill

Construction collapsible metal brazier similar in design, the disposable barbecue.Cross section - rectangular.The difference is that the wall of the brazier not welded to each other and connected in upholstery movable body kit that allows folding grill after use.To the wall did not develop themselves on top of the walls fastened by welding metal hooks.

This type of barbecue is very convenient for transportation.

Corrosion

Any metal design is desirable to protect against corrosion, then it will last longer, and the appearance is much more attractive.

only special heat-resistant ink may be used for coloring the barbecue.They are sold in the automobile as an aerosol (such paint is applied to the car's muffler).

Instead, you can change the color of the metal structure.Oxidation or burnishing - the process by which the image of the black heat-resistant film on the metal surface.For bluing previously cleaned and degreased surface of the metal parts, then for two hours and a half-metal maintained at a temperature of 140 degrees in a solution of sodium hydroxide (50 grams per liter of water).
