Often for city dwellers living in apartments, the only opportunity to experience the outdoors is a trip to the park or a trip to friends out of town. However, when the question arises about barbecue, it turns out that the owners of private houses, at best, have a barbecue and a gazebo.
Despite the fact that the market for all kinds of devices for cooking meat is wide, many are not satisfied with the existing range. That is why the question arises of the independent construction of a barbecue oven with your own hands. In this article, we will look at how to make a barbecue oven in the garden of a private house.
It is necessary to start building a barbecue oven with your own hands, as expected, from the project. You need to have a good idea of \u200b\u200bwhat exactly you want, and better - draw or draw.
Firstly, decide what kind of fireplace you need. Garden barbecue ovens are often equipped with a cutting table and a sink, protective walls are removed. Think over all the elements in advance.
Secondly, pay attention to the trees located around your potential summer kitchen. Branches hanging down and above the pipe must be cut immediately, otherwise they will burn.
Third, calculate the place for the kitchen in such a way that a platform can be made next to the stove. This is necessary at least in order to be able to move away from the blazing fire.
Fourth, pay special attention to the back wall of the structure. She usually looks normal Brick wall, and if you are not satisfied with this look, think about how you will disguise the masonry. Make sure that the wall does not adjoin the wall of buildings. Despite the use of heat-resistant bricks in the masonry, the wall still gets very hot: this can lead to the destruction of the adjacent wall.
Necessary materials:
1. heat-resistant brick for the firebox;
2. solution (ready concrete mortar can be bought at any hardware store or do it yourself)
3. brick for external walls and lining (bassoon, wild stone);
4. not edged board for formwork;
5. edged board for screeding countertops;
6. unnecessary scraps of metal (for foundation reinforcement) - pieces of reinforcement, wire, channels, strips sheet metal, any metal debris;
7. roofing material;
8. metal pipe diameter 15 cm;
9. metal sink and mixer;
10. water hoses. The amount of materials is directly proportional to the size of the fireplace.
Stages of work on the arrangement of the furnace
Since outdoor barbecue ovens are lightweight, it is advisable to make a reinforced foundation about 20 centimeters thick. For such a foundation, cement grade 100 is suitable. The foundation is made as follows.
First of all, with the help of pegs and a rope, we make markings. Then we dig a hole 30 centimeters deep along the marking perimeter + 5 centimeters. In the pit we fall asleep a pillow under the foundation of slag, we tamp it down. After that, along the perimeter of the future foundation, we install formwork from wooden shields.
The length of the shields is equal to the length of the pit, the width is 30 centimeters. After that, we lay the metal in the pit. If there are no unnecessary scraps of iron, you can weld the frame from the reinforcement. We prepare a solution or buy a ready-made mixture of brand 100 and fill the foundation.
The foundation should settle for three days, only after that you can start building a fireplace.
Important!
When laying the foundation, you need to pay attention to such points:
1. The pit under the foundation should be the same depth over the entire area.
2. The top surface of the foundation must be flat and without steps. If the site is uneven, you need to fill the foundation, taking into account the fact that in the very high place it will come out of the ground.
3. The slag pad must be well compacted.
4. Metal for reinforcing the foundation should not protrude from it, because. its surface will be at the same time the floor.
5. The solution must be poured in one go, otherwise the solidity of the foundation will be broken.
6. The poured foundation should settle for three days.
Follow these rules if you are building a fireplace yourself, or keep an eye on the workers if you are using hired labor.
Stage 2. Start laying the fireplace
When the foundation is ready and settled, start building the fireplace itself. It is advisable to lay roofing material over the screed - this will protect the brick walls from moisture coming from the ground.
Consider what the openings of your fireplace will be. If they are rectangular, take care of the materials for the jumpers. Metal corners are ideal for this purpose.
If an arched opening is planned, you need to make a template from the boards along which the arch will be laid out.
A brick barbecue oven can be very beautiful. How do you lay it out, from what brick, what decorative materials use - your imagination will tell.
Either way, you should enjoy what you do. And of course, the fireplace should harmoniously fit into the overall ensemble of the cottage or yard.
Stage 3. We put the first tier
We put the walls in half a brick on an ordinary cement mortar, leave openings. If the openings are arched, we bring the wall 60 cm up, if the usual rectangular ones - 80 cm. Such a height of 60 (80) cm + 2-3 rows of bricks is optimal. With it, the height of the table will turn out to be very comfortable - 90-100 cm.
If you plan to install a sink, be sure to mount a water and drain pipe into the wall, or just leave a half-brick hole for the hoses. The opening is made below, under the sink.
Ideally, if the drain will be displayed in drain hole, but you can simply bring the hose to the garden with moisture-loving plants.
Stage 4. We lay out the openings
To arrange a rectangular opening, we put a metal corner on the last row of bricks and continue laying along the perimeter further. An outdoor barbecue oven can have an arched opening; before starting laying, you need to install a template from the boards into it, along which you can start laying out the arch.
The difference in the seams is compensated by the thickness of the mortar layer. The bearing properties of the arch depend on the central brick, so do not forget about it when laying.
When the arch or rectangular opening is ready, we continue to bring the wall to the desired height (90 cm). If the fireplace is decorated with a bassoon brick, a step will turn out on the top row of the inner wall, because. this brick is narrower than normal.
If the fireplace is built from ordinary bricks, bring the top row of wall bricks a little forward - this will turn out a similar step. A table top will be attached to it.
Important!
When laying, you need to take into account the following points:
1. To make the outer wall beautiful, make sure that the seams between the bricks are of the same thickness.
2. From the height of the openings to the level of the countertop, there should be 2-3 rows of bricks.
3. There must be a central brick in the opening-arch.
When the walls of the first tier are removed, make a base for a firebox and a screed for countertops. For screeding on the steps in the masonry, we lay boards sawn to the size of the span.
Do not forget to leave an opening under the sink in the screed, if it is provided for by the project. To do this, do not lay a place under the sink with boards and make a formwork. We pour cement onto the finished plank base, let it stand for 3-4 days, then remove the formwork from the opening for washing.
We cover the screed with the selected material. It can be wood, plastic, marble.
The first tier is ready.
Stage 5. Removal of the second tier
The second tier consists of a fireplace insert and walls. Walls can protect your summer kitchen from prying eyes or simply create coziness and the illusion of a closed space.
Conclusion smooth walls a simple task, so we will not dwell on it. The fireplace insert is laid out from two layers of bricks: a layer of refractory bricks is laid inside, and a regular layer is outside. The bottom of the firebox is also laid out with refractory material.
It is optimal to make the height of the firebox equal to the height of seven rows of bricks if the opening is arched, or nine rows if the opening is rectangular. The width of the firebox is 70 centimeters, the depth is 60 cm. Another 2-3 rows of bricks are laid out above the opening and a chimney is removed.
To obtain the desired pipe width, it is necessary to gradually reduce the length of each side of the firebox. Front and rear wall shortened by half a brick in each row, side walls- a quarter of a brick.
The transition from the furnace to the pipe is also laid out in two brick layers. We lay the inner layer of refractory bricks, the outer one - of ordinary. After 6-7 rows, we begin to remove the pipe. The height of the chimney should be equal to 12-14 rows of bricks. This completes the construction of the fireplace.
Let the structure settle for a few days, and you can start using new kitchen on outdoors.
Important!
When laying out the firebox, pay attention to such nuances:
1. The firebox opening should not be too high. This will worsen the draft in the chimney, the smoke will go towards you.
2. Be sure to line the bottom of the firebox and the firebox inside with refractory bricks - this will protect the outer layer of the brick from cracking.
3. Too high a pipe reduces traction. Do not make it higher than 13-16 next to a brick.
4. Make sure that there are no borders along the edge of the firebox, otherwise it will be difficult to clean it.
After finished construction works, you can put the finishing touches. Install the sink and faucets, connect the water and stretch the hoses for the water drain, arrange the countertop natural stone or a tree. The floor next to the fireplace can be laid out with non-slip tile or paving slabs. Firewood can be stored under the tabletop.
To make this kitchen corner truly cozy, put a table and benches, plant climbing plants or pull an awning over the table, put a gazebo. Barbecue stoves in gazebos are often placed.
In custody
Here we are done with the construction. Most importantly, let your imagination run wild. We hope that such a corner with a fireplace will become a favorite place not only for you, but also for your friends.
The process of cooking shish kebab on an ordinary iron grill is well known to everyone. But in windy weather or during sudden rain, frying meat becomes problematic, if not impossible. It is much more convenient to make a barbecue or barbecue on a stationary brick grill located under a canopy. In this case, the sudden vagaries of the weather will not spoil your plans. This article will show you how to make outdoor grill from bricks with their own hands.
Schemes of stationary braziers made of bricks
Differences between open-air foci and traditional ones brick ovens are as follows:
- brazier or barbecue is built with the aim of creating comfortable conditions cooking various dishes on open air;
- the design of the outdoor barbecue is much simpler, and the requirements for materials are not so high;
- a simple brick outdoor oven can be folded at home or in the country by almost every homeowner;
- the dimensions and arrangement of the brazier are chosen arbitrarily, depending on the wishes and capabilities of the owners of the house.
All these features, and even the arrangement of the foundation in the yard, somewhat simplify the work on laying barbecues, it is a little more difficult to build street garden ovens. The latter are small oven complexes where you can not only fry shish kebab, but also cook a variety of food. But first, we will consider the simplest version of a stationary barbecue, which does not even require a solution.
The building shown in the photo is built in just half an hour on any flat area. To fold 4 supports, any brick will do, as long as it is even. The height of the supports is arbitrary, according to your height, so that it is convenient to cook. Then a slab is placed on top, preferably from fire resistant material, for example, concrete or mineralite. Further, the bottom is laid out of red brick (it can be hollow), and then the walls are erected according to the usual technology with dressing.
This design is good because it does not require a solution, it is quickly erected and transferred from place to place. In addition, the height and dimensions of the barbecue are at your discretion, but within reasonable limits so that the structure is stable. Do not forget to install a metal brazier on the brick bottom, and make small slots in the masonry for air access.
A similar kind of small brazier can also be built on a solution by attaching a metal smoke box in the form of an umbrella on top. Thanks to this, the smoke during cooking will not disperse in different directions and get into your face. Below is a diagram of a brick brazier with a concrete slab and an exhaust hood:
The difficulty in the construction of this structure is one - pouring a concrete slab. But if available in household small scraps of plywood or OSB, and wooden bars, the issue is resolved quickly enough. Racks are made of bars, and formwork panels are made of plywood. So that milk does not flow out of the concrete, and the plywood does not get wet, the inside of the formwork must be covered before pouring plastic wrap. There it is also necessary to place a mesh of reinforcement with a diameter of 10-12 mm. The figure shows a diagram of the formwork device and the arrangement of the brazier:
The smoke collector is made of galvanized roofing steel and is mounted on top of the brazier. Light a fire right on concrete slab not recommended, it is better to adapt a metal brazier for this purpose.
Outdoor oven complexes
The next option is a barbecue oven with a chimney and additional cabinets for kitchen utensils. The mouth of the firebox and the openings for the cabinets are conceived with arched vaults, the woodshed niche - with the usual ceiling of bricks laid on steel corners. Below are the drawings for a brick brazier and the order for its construction:
As you can see from the order, inner part the firebox is laid out from fireclay bricks, which means it does not require a separate brazier. The height of the chimney is arbitrary, depending on the location of the furnace and the height of the canopy above it.
The last option that we want to present is a more complex outdoor stove for summer cottages. This will require some experience and knowledge of the furnace business. The oven is designed not only for cooking barbecue, but also for cooking, as it is equipped with hob. In this case, the device of an outdoor stove provides for a smoke circulation and requires more materials and accessories:
- full-bodied ceramic brick - 450 pcs.;
- red hollow brick - 180 pcs.;
- fireclay bricks - 201 pcs.;
- cement brand 400 - 200 kg;
- chamotte clay - 40 kg;
- sand - 0.1 m3;
- corner 40 x 40 mm - 4 m;
- cast iron plate 710 x 410 mm;
- firebox door 410 x 410 mm - 1 pc.;
- valve - 1 pc.;
- door for cleaning 140 x 140 mm - 1 pc.
Here, too, the internal parts of the furnace exposed to an open flame or high temperature are lined with fireclay bricks. It is necessary to start preparing and building, having studied the drawing of a brick brazier, which shows the sections of the furnace and its order:
Necessary materials for construction
In our case, the main building material is a brick. When erecting simple barbecues requirements for it are low. The chamber where it is planned to place the brazier should be made of red ceramic brick, even hollow. As for the lower support part, here the choice of material is entirely at your discretion and possibilities. The task of this part is to support the structure, it is not exposed to high temperatures, which means that it can be made of any suitable material.
If a simple do-it-yourself brick outdoor grill has an unsightly appearance, then it can always be plastered or overlaid with inexpensive porcelain stoneware, but only after the masonry mortar has dried completely.
Another thing is brick street stoves. Here it is necessary to follow all the rules of kiln art and use high-quality material. For construction, you will need a solid red brick without cracks and damage, the same applies to fireclay stone. The solution should be used only sand-clay in proportions of 1: 1, and for refractory masonry - a solution of chamotte clay. Such building mixes in dry form are commercially available.
Advice. For laying simple barbecues, 20% M400 cement can be added to the sand-clay mortar for strength.
Any garden stove or barbecue is installed on solid foundation, so you need to stock up on sand, cement and gravel for the foundation. Do not forget about the tools necessary for masonry work, and for arched vaults you will need special templates - circles. They can be cut from drywall.
Foundation laying
The foundation device is a rather complicated matter and requires geological exploration of the soil composition. But the construction of a hearth in the yard should be approached a little easier and at a lower cost. Universal Recipe- This reinforced concrete slab. Its filling is performed in the following sequence:
- dig a hole 30 cm deep and 10-20 cm larger than the future stationary barbecue;
- tamp the bottom and cover it with rubble by 15 cm;
- install a formwork protruding 10 cm above ground level;
- cover the pit along with the formwork with plastic wrap;
- tie a mesh of reinforcement with a diameter of 12-14 mm with cells 150 x 150 mm. Lay it on the bottom of the pit on top of the film, placing stands;
- prepare concrete in proportions of 1 part of cement / 3 parts of sand / 7 parts of crushed stone of medium or small size and lay it in the formwork;
- after setting, cover the slab with a film and wait 28 days until it hardens completely.
Before making a brazier, the surface of the foundation must be covered with 2 layers of roofing material, ensuring the waterproofing of the structure.
The simplest brick braziers for summer cottages are built in compliance with the usual rules for laying stones with dressing and alignment in terms of level and plumb. Here it is important to prepare a good solution of sifted sand and clay so that no pebbles come across in it. The thickness of the masonry seam on clay mortar is observed within 5 mm, on cement - up to 10 mm.
Advice. The lower supporting parts of the brazier can be placed on cement-sand mortar with a small addition of clay for plasticity.
More stringent rules apply if it is necessary to build a brick brazier in the form of a courtyard stove complex:
- each brick is soaked for 2-3 minutes in a bucket of water;
- fireclay and ordinary masonry are not tied up with each other;
- bricks are adjusted and trimmed as a result of fitting. To do this, the row must first be laid out without mortar;
- the horizontal and vertical of the building is checked after laying each row of stones.
Advice. If you want to build a brick brazier with a decorative slit-like seam, you must not reach the solution during masonry front side stone.
In order to better understand the sequence of actions, as an example, it is proposed step-by-step instruction for laying a brick barbecue grill with cabinets for kitchen utensils. The previous section shows its orders (Option 3) to be followed. So, the order of masonry is as follows:
- from the 1st row to the 8th, the walls of cabinets and a wood-burning niche are being erected;
- 9th row: using templates, the arches of red brick cabinets are laid out, steel corners are placed above the woodshed;
- 10th row: the overlap of a wood-burning niche is formed from refractory stones, cut to 18 cm and laid on edge;
- 11th and 12th rows: all niches overlap, while around the entire perimeter the bricks are released outward by a quarter;
- on the 15th row, a firebox made of fireclay bricks is laid out. A circle is cut out and installed to form a vault;
- on the 20th row, external walls and a firebox are being erected. An arched vault is laid out of fireclay stones, cut "under the wedge";
- from the 20th to the 24th row, the bricks are cut so as to gradually move to the section of the chimney;
- all the stones of the 24th row are released outward by a quarter, then the construction of the chimney follows.
As a result, we get such a nice structure:
Conclusion
If you choose braziers for a summer residence or a house of a simple design, then their construction will not be great work. As for outdoor stoves, here you will have to spend time and effort, but the result looks much better and more practical.
What could be better than being outdoors with your family and friends? Cooking fish or meat allows you to have a good time and have a delicious dinner. That's what people buy for. collapsible braziers or grills.
But relatively recently, some owners of private houses or cottages began to build brick or stone barbecues, around which the whole family can gather. Also, thanks to materials such as natural stone or brick, the heat will remain for a long time and the structure can even be used as a fireplace.
This article will tell you how to make a barbecue with your own hands, and we will also look at drawings, photos and even videos. In addition, for people who do not have the opportunity to make a stone or brick oven, great option there will be a barbecue from improvised materials. But first, let's look at how to do brick barbecue.
brick barbecue
In order to build a brick barbecue, you need to purchase some materials. For the construction of the furnace, you need to purchase refractory and facing bricks. Fireclay is perfect as a refractory brick. Due to the fact that the composition this material contains a lot of clay, it can easily withstand high temperatures. Also, it is very important that the brick is not too fragile and does not crumble. In addition to bricks, you need to buy clay from which the solution will be made.
In order to prepare the solution, you need to purchase cement, red or refractory clay and sand. Cement and sand will be used to line the barbecue oven, while clay will be used to lay refractory bricks.
Solution preparation
To build a barbecue, you definitely need a well-prepared solution. It is impossible to prepare an ordinary cement mortar, since the furnace will crack from high temperatures and it will be impossible to use it. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a clay mixture.
Clay mortar is divided into two types - it is lean and greasy. A skinny mortar will not work, because after firing it will crack or even worse fall out of the seams. But the greasy mixture has plasticity, due to which the solution will be evenly distributed over the entire plane of the brick.
The process of preparing a clay mortar for a barbecue oven is as follows:
In order to understand a quality solution or not, you need to scoop up a little mixture with a trowel or shovel. The solution should not stick to the shovel or leave too wet marks behind. A properly prepared solution should slowly slide off the shovel, and not blur.
For a quality solution, you need to clean the sand from gravel or other debris. This work can be done with a sieve.
In order to give the solution greater strength, you need to add table salt to the composition. About 200 grams of salt is needed per bucket of solution.
Foundation for a brick barbecue
The first thing to do to build a barbecue is to choose right place. Special attention fire safety should be considered. Trees or bushes should not grow near the stove.
Also, it is not recommended that the barbecue be located too close to the main buildings, a bathhouse or a utility block. Experts advise taking into account the direction of the wind so that it does not blow towards the main buildings. Also, during construction, everything must be thought out in such a way that the sparks are not carried by the wind to the neighbors. You can see the barbecue project in the video below.
Each cottage or Vacation home, in addition to many worries and some unpleasant moments, it also implies the periodic preparation of kebabs. But in order to roast meat on coals correctly, you need a high-quality barbecue. And how to make brick barbecues with your own hands, their drawings and photos, you will learn below.

Basic preparatory work
Of course, the brazier is not an ordinary structure, so its creation needs careful preparation. Starting from planning the area where the structure will be built, ending with such subtleties as the presence of plumbing, a suitable countertop for convenience, and even lighting. For this reason, first of all, you need to consider the preparatory stage.
- Zoning of the area.
If you have already set yourself the goal of building a barbecue grill with your own hands, you should start searching best place for its construction. This is not a simple portable metal product that you can install anywhere, calculations and drawings play a huge role here.
Placement requirements:
- relatively flat area;
- removal from the house of neighbors, places of rest in order to exclude interference from smoke for a full life;
- proximity to own dacha or home, in order to conduct electricity, water or other necessary communications;
- the presence of a small area for the construction of a picnic area (this is a place where you could lay out cooked meat or leave food).
The best options for brick barbecues
An outdoor brick barbecue is a simple structure that does not stand out with special tricks, for example, special ovens or a barbecue. But be that as it may, they are offered interesting options that you can sell on the land.
- The simplest option includes the construction of a small brick box in the hall, where coals will be added, and meat on skewers is hung on top of it.
- An excellent option would be the so-called island. It has a compartment for coals and a fire, and shelves will be placed on top: first a grill for meat, then special stops that are used to hold skewers with barbecue.
- Another great option is not much different from the previous one. He has work surface not located on top of the barbecue or not far from it. It is well suited as a stand or table for saucepans, knives and other accessories that will be needed during the preparation for a picnic.
Necessary materials
In addition to the drawings themselves and photos of do-it-yourself brick braziers, you can use some devices. Here is a rough list of them:
- slaked lime;
- heat-resistant brick;
- cement package;
- metal corners;
- sand bag;
- Red brick;
- reinforcing mesh or reinforcing bars;
- wire (for strengthening brickwork);
- tiles (if your project includes a countertop).
You may have noticed that the list necessary materials types of bricks are offered. This is not necessary, but you can save money this way. All because to endure high temperatures only heat-resistant brick is capable. But, unfortunately, its price is far from small. Therefore, it is better to use red brick where the brazier is not exposed to strong heat or there is no heating at all. Of course, it’s definitely not possible to save money on this, but it’s still nice.
Do-it-yourself brick braziers: drawings and photos
Naturally, without studying the drawings before construction, it will be difficult. Therefore, our portal "Remontik" offers the most suitable schemes brick brazier or take advantage of a ready-made offer.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that many people plan to build street version mangala, that is summer complex. On it you can provide not just a place for firewood, but also a barbecue, and a firebox with a door, a sink, a countertop and much more. And here's a great drawing for you.
If this option does not suit you, then find a huge number of diagrams and drawings for every taste, since today the Internet is replete with hundreds of different solutions that craftsmen are happy to share.
Make a brazier with your own hands from brick
Most people think that the barbecue does not need a foundation, and it can be built in a dug pit, which is covered with rubble. This decision is fundamentally wrong, as a slight distortion of the ground will completely destroy the structure that you have worked so hard on. Your money and time will be wasted. Therefore, the foundation is considered a must.
Foundation installation step by step
To create a reliable and solid foundation, you need to perform the following operations:
- First you need to choose appropriate place where a brick brazier will be built. We have already noted its advantages of choice above.
- Square dimensions with a side of 120 cm are perfect.
- With the help of pegs and a special twine, place the selected area.
- Take a shovel and dig a hole 25 cm deep.
- Install formwork.
- Prepare the mortar, adhering to the ratio of sand to cement 3 to 1.
- Pour the solution into the hole.
- reinforcing mesh;
- reinforcement rods.
It is worth noting that if you choose a grid, it will have to be laid twice. Moreover, the first layer is placed when you have already filled the third part of the pit with a solution. Then the base must be poured another third, laying another layer, after which the pit is completely filled with mortar.
The rods should be laid in the middle of the base of the pit, after which they are completely filled with mortar. As soon as the foundation is poured, it must be given time for it to settle normally. Two weeks will not be enough for this.
Let's start laying bricks for the barbecue
In order for the brazier to be quickly built, but at the same time turned out to be neat, you need to perform a small fitting. Of course, ordering a brick barbecue is not an activity that needs to be done quickly, and therefore a kind of fitting will be needed, which is done as follows:
- Bricks are taken, which are laid out dry on the foundation.
- We carefully study and remember the results of the fitting.
- Such actions allow the use of whole blocks and halves of bricks during the construction of the brazier.
- Of course, if you already have a prepared grate, pallet, their parameters should be taken into account when performing preliminary laying.
- As soon as you have laid out all the bricks, it is recommended to circle the masonry line and fix it in order to follow it in the future without going astray.
Before you start laying, you need to prepare the bricks. Not everyone knows that they are able to absorb moisture, which leads to poor structural strength. Therefore, the day before the start of construction, it is recommended to wet them well or even leave them in buckets of water overnight.
It is worth starting the construction of the barbecue when the bricks are dry on the outside, but include moisture inside.
It's time to get down to business. Take bricks and mortar and start laying out the first row. Always make sure that the space between the bricks is well filled with mortar and that the bricks set in the order we noted earlier. To melt bricks in mortar, use a rubber mallet.
Basement construction
Once you have built the first row, you can use it as a guide for subsequent rows of masonry. Moreover, the masonry should go in a checkerboard pattern. It implies that each row will be shifted half a brick to the side. In this case, each row should start from the corner.
It's no secret that during laying you will have to check the plane of the structure from time to time. To do this, use the level and plumb. At least once in two or three rows, it is necessary to check. If you do not do this, then the probability of skew will be too high.
Masonry on corner connections reinforced with metal wire.Preparing the Frypot and Grill Supports
To ensure the reliability of the base of the brazier, you need to prepare special mounts. You can choose to use:
- metal corners;
- reinforcing bars.
Also consider the presence of side gaps in brickwork that will not be filled with mortar. They are used as a trench for air intake. It's no secret that you can't light a fire from a regular supply of oxygen.
If we talk about the crate, then you can install it both on special metal rods and on simple protrusions that are formed in brickwork. If you lay bricks across the wall and they protrude into inside braziers, this will be a great place for the grid.
Working surface
We learned how to make a brick brazier, but this work will not be completed. We also need to equip the work surface. Without it, it will be difficult for you during the holiday and picnic.
A quality countertop must meet the following properties:
- high strength;
- simple cleaning;
- comfort;
- weather resistance.
Make the tabletop so that it is on optimal height and was easy to use. Take care of her appearance. Well, if you use tiles for its decoration, which are designed for sidewalks or floors.
This surface will be highly durable, will not scratch and will be easy to clean without causing you any inconvenience.
As noted above, it will not be superfluous to make plumbing and a rack near the barbecue. Thus, you will get rid of wasting time for frequent walking to the house to solve domestic problems. Of course, everything needs to be planned in advance, and water pipes it is recommended to withdraw through the base of the brazier.
Moreover, you can think about lighting on the site where the barbecue will be prepared. It often happens that you have to cook the meat in the dark. Therefore, the lighting will definitely not interfere with you.
Photo of barbecue grills made of bricks
To sum up, it is worth considering different variants brick options, which you can create with your own hands, in photographs.
First of all, consider two such simple options, which differ not only in simplicity, accessible to everyone, but also in the high speed of construction.Now we offer to look at more advanced designs that will take more time and effort. But they fully justify themselves, since this brazier acts not only as a device for frying meat: barbecue and shish kebab, but a highlight and real pride of your yard.
Finally, here are a few more photos, which also show serious barbecues. One of these even acts as a real complex designed for cooking meat. This is original summer cuisine, which is adapted only for cooking barbecue and barbecue. Of course, building this with your own hands is a rather energy- and resource-intensive process, but you will be proud of the created work of art for a long time.
We decided to complete the article by offering readers a useful video, because it is better to see once than read ten times.On it, the specialist explains in an accessible way all the subtleties and nuances of planning and building a brick brazier on his site.

Many people look forward to the weekend during the working week to go out of town to go fishing, to meet with friends or family. Well, what kind of vacation is complete without cooking on an open fire or coals.
And for their preparation in a quick way, you can build devices such as barbecue, but still in the modern world it is much more convenient to use stationary facilities: barbecue, grill and barbecue.
Especially if you have a country house and a small plot.
Of course, portable devices can also be purchased, but if the owner is an experienced person in construction matters, then it will not be difficult for him to build his own creation.
As many have already guessed, our article will focus on one of these devices, namely the barbecue.
A bit of history
There are several options for the origin of the name. But the most truthful is the ancient Greek version, meaning "foreigner." In our case, this word "barbarus" meant "barbarian".
Perhaps the very way of cooking on fires in caves by wild tribes of nomads made such associations. However, all this has successfully taken root in our area and everyone likes it to this day.
But what are the differences between a brazier, a grill and a barbecue?
A brazier is a simple structure made of metal or brick, where coals are placed, and a skewers or grate for food are placed on top.
Grill - a structure mainly made of metal with a closing top. The principle of cooking products is the same as on the grill, only with the lid closed. To exit the smoke, the grill is equipped with a pipe.
Barbecue is such a brazier, a cross between a barbecue and a grill. And it is very reminiscent of the wild conditions of roasting meat. Outwardly, it looks like a hearth, open on the front side.
It is possible that the device is not in the form of a hearth, but in the form of a side around the grate for products, which does not immediately let heat through to the sides. Varieties of the brazier are shown in the barbecue photo.
As you can see, all these devices are very similar, and they can be easily converted into each other.
Easy BBQ
A brick barbecue can be easily created with your own hands in literally 10 minutes for any layman. This option for building a barbecue is similar to a game of cubes.
For its device you need:
- almost 100 pcs. bricks, depending on the height of the structure;
- Metal sheet;
- lattice.
The dimensions of the sheet and grate should be almost the same, as they determine the size of the frying space.
The diagram of a simple brick barbecue shows in detail the principle of its construction and construction.
Note!
How to barbecue step by step
Bricklaying is carried out without the use of cement mortar:
- First, prepare a flat and tightly packed area, away from trees and dead wood, in order to avoid fires.
- Then, on this site, a circle of flat bricks is laid out with gaps between them of 50 mm so that air can pass through. The diameter of the circle must match the size of the sheet and the grate so that they cover this well. The diagram shows that one row consists of 12 bricks.
- Next, 4 more rows are laid out in a checkerboard pattern.
- A sheet of metal 2-3 mm thick lies on top of the fifth, firewood will burn on it, which will turn into coals.
- The next step will be laying 2 more rows of bricks to form the so-called hearth. But in front you need to leave a gap free from bricks. This is a firebox where you need to throw firewood and stir up coals.
- Now you need to lay a grate for frying food on the resulting well.
- On top of the lattice, we complete 2 more brick rows in a circle, but without gaps. The side will carry out the main idea of \u200b\u200bbarbecue. If desired, you can also leave a gap in the side in order to turn the products over if necessary.
This brazier is a great option for the summer season.
But, if you are worried about the integrity of the structure in your absence, the structure can be easily disassembled and placed in the pantry for storage. Rebuilding it won't be hard.
