How to build a barbecue made ​​of bricks with their hands - instructions with drawings and photos

Those who are not familiar with all the subtleties of cooking meat in the open air, the difference between barbecue and barbecue do not see, except that in detail.But it is, and essential - as we shall understand all the nuances of building a barbecue with his own hands.

features barbecue

• possible to prepare not only meat, but also other products.For example, fish, various seafood, vegetables, poultry and even sweets.
• larger dimensions and a round (usually) form a brazier + rear wall contribute to a more uniform distribution of heat throughout the area.
• Products not strung on skewers and placed on the grid, and you can change its position adjustment, thereby selecting the optimum mode.
• heat can be obtained not only from the burning of wood or coal, but also from other sources of heat.
• presence of the hood.
• In some cases, set the temperature display, which provides additional convenience in cooking.
• meat marinate before cooking is not necessary.

Types

• By installing a barbecue are stationary and mobile (collapsible "boilers", "truck").
• In term of operation - single and multiple use.
• By type of fuel - electricity, gas, coal (wood).

Now, reading the theory, and you can begin to practice.Here's how to build your own barbecue on the site, as the material using a brick.By the way, according to experts - is the best option of all.

Site Selection

Issues such as successful or not barbecue fit into the overall landscape of the area and the like - at the discretion of the owner.Here the important thing:

• foundation of what type it is more convenient to mount?After all, the brick structure is massive enough and dig trenches under the monolithic tape is not always possible.For example, because of the likelihood of damage to the root system of plants, utilities trails;
• wind rose.From this depends on the parameters of the chimney (its shape, height);
• free space.The evaluation determines the features barbecue design (for example, the presence of the smokehouse, the ability to install a canopy, and so on).

Planning

«Just like that" nothing is built.It is necessary to make a drawing with a barbecue of all sizes.The main part of the structure - the oven on a pedestal ( "legs") and extractor fan.The dimensions are selected based on local conditions.For example, such:

• height: total in the range of 1.7 - 1.8;pedestal 0.7 - 0.9;oven - 0.6 (m);
• countertop options: width - 50, thickness - 7 (see).

After settling the territory marking the selected type of foundation.To learn how to properly mount the base of the structure, can be read here.

mounting pedestal

From the figure it is clear how and what to do.

Acceptable height determines the number of rows of masonry.It is carried out in 1 brick, ample dimensions "compartments" -. 0.5 x 0.5 m What you need to constantly monitor the verticality of the wall (with a plumb), it is understandable.

How to work with bricks, is described in detail in this article.

Construction

bottom of the furnace is necessary to construct shuttering (not difficult) and pour concrete solution previously having laid reinforcing bars to increase the strength of the horizontal plate. cross section fittings 6 - 8 mm .To the solution was flowed and well compacted, as the filler is advisable to use sand or fine gravel. Optimum brand of cement - M300 .

Installation furnace

Masonry is the same in 1 brick.Naturally, the front wall of the "boxes" are not laid.Even at the stage of drawing is necessary to determine where to make the recess (how) to set lattice, which will be the finished product.Change the mode to manually, so these "grooves" it is desirable to leave at least 3.

can proceed in another way - wall up cutting metal rods, the ends of which will serve as a basis for the lattice.

Chimney

The easiest option - installation of metal boxes, a cone-shaped, tapering upwards.Brick chimney is harder to do, we need a practical experience.Suffice it to note that it is necessary to calculate its height correctly.

Everything else - facing, construction sites for placement of kitchen utensils, shelter construction - this is detail.A good host and think out all by himself.

Note

• For the construction of the furnace and the chimney is taken only firebrick.
• This "oven" is suitable not only for cooking various dishes.It can, if necessary, and heat the surrounding space (for example, the porch, gazebo).

BBQ is not some kind of "strategic" object, so these recommendations are enough.to mount a robust design.
