Barbecue made of bricks with own hands

Electric ovens, microwave ovens, bread makers, gas stoves are wonderful inventions that allow our housewives to get excellent and nutritious dishes. But for some reason the most delicious food is obtained from us on a fire or stoves, which are installed in the open air. That's why, after buying a summer cottage, people try to immediately take a place on it to build a brazier or a barbecue with their own hands made of brick. We assure you that for a bricklayer who has little brickwork experience, such a task will not be a difficult task.

How to lay out the barbecue from the brick with their own hands?

1. The first step is to determine the size of your design, its internal structure and appearance. Fortunately, there are many drawings on the Internet that allow you to choose the most successful barbeque model for your taste. You can slightly change the networked projects, adjusting them to their requests. We, for example, in the course of business changed this drawing, extending the countertop, and attached a convenient platform for dishes and food products to the right of the stove.
2. Required material for construction:

• ready-made concrete or dry components for the preparation of mortar by hand (sand, cement);
• boards;
• metal rods, fittings or wastes (pieces of wire, corner, channel) for reinforcing the foundation;
• refractory bricks for stoves and facing bricks for finishing works (the latter material can be partially replaced by artificial or natural stone if desired);
• ruberoid;
• pipe diameter of 15 cm;
• devices for construction work (tape measure, shovel, trowel, concrete mixer, hammer, hacksaw, etc.).

We choose a place for building a brick barbecue with our own hands.

We delete garbage, extra bushes, grass on the plot, level the soil.

The site is ready.

We prepare the base, covering the earth with gravel, broken brick or stones. It is desirable to reinforce the foundation with metal billets.

Fill the foundation with concrete.

We start to be engaged in a bricklaying. First you should build a pedestal, the height of which should not exceed 70 cm.

On top of the pedestal we lay the prefabricated frame under the table top.

Fill the countertop with cement mortar.

In the business, how to make a brick barbecue with our own hands, we came to an important stage - putting the stove. It can be rectangular or arched. The latter look more interesting, but it is more complicated to perform. You will need to additionally mount a special radial frame for masonry, which requires training and some skill. The depth of the furnace is usually 3 bricks, and the width - from 5 to 7 bricks.

We put the chimney out of bricks.

The pipe can be made of the most refractory brick , and also use metal preforms or ceramic products for this.

We install the chimney.

We make doors out of the planks to cover the firewood storage compartments.

The work on erecting a brick barbecue by oneself is finished, you can check our product, then to enjoy in the gazebo the entire family of hot food.

We kindle a fire in the stove and start preparing delicious and nutritious dishes.

It is best to erect a strong and reliable canopy over the finished structure so that the weather does not prevent you from engaging in kitchen tasks at any time of the year. By the way, the most practical owners build their own hands a barbecue made of bricks right in the arbor, which turns the cooking process into the most comfortable occupation.
