Brick brazier is a special brazier for preparing shish kebab, built of brick. A solid brick grill is often more functional and is used as a grill and barbecue; often other dishes are cooked on it, even just to heat up food. This is also an interesting art object in a suburban area. It’s nice to gather around such a structure with a large group.

How to choose a place?

• Do not forget that this structure is an object of increased fire hazard. It should not be located near the house, wooden or other flammable outbuildings.
• The building should not be too far from the resting place. The ideal option is near the gazebo or near the summer kitchen. You can put up a wide canopy that will not only protect the brick grill from precipitation, but also cover a couple of benches and a table.
• Be sure to arrange the site. There should be no flower beds or beds nearby, as the grass will simply wither due to high temperatures. You should consider a convenient approach, or better yet several. There should be no toilet or trash containers nearby.
• If the wind constantly blows in one direction, make sure that smoke does not enter the windows of residential buildings.

What is needed for construction?

The best material for construction is fireclay brick (kiln). He endures big differences temperature and does not collapse. Use clay and sand as a mortar for masonry. But it requires pre-soaking.

For street grill you will need brick good foundation, which means you will need building material for the foundation (cement, sand, rubble stone, plywood or formwork boards, reinforcement, stones and crushed stone).

You will also need metal corners, grilles, latches, and a sheet of iron. If you plan to make niches and a work area, you will need a tabletop made of stone; the doors can be made of wood or metal.

Tools needed:

• shovel;
• Master OK;
• level;
• buckets for solutions;
• concrete mixer or trough;
• Circular Saw.

A project must be developed or a ready-made one taken. It is not only convenient to carry out work, but also to calculate required quantity materials. A small supply never hurts, but there is no need to have large surpluses.

Pouring the foundation

Stationary barbecue a brick foundation is required:

• It is necessary to dig a hole according to the size of the project.
• Line the bottom of the pit with rubble stone and crushed stone, and install the formwork (it is better to moisten it).
• Next, the pit is filled with a concrete mixture of cement and sand in a ratio of 1:3, but in layers and laying a reinforcing mesh. Under no circumstances should the reinforcement lie at the bottom of the pit. If the pit is small and the walls are smooth, then formwork is not needed.
• The top of the foundation is covered with roofing felt or ordinary film.
• When the weather is hot, it is recommended to occasionally spray the base with water to ensure uniform drying. It will take 1-2 weeks for the concrete to set and dry. Brick laying is carried out only after the foundation has completely hardened.
• During this time, you can prepare a clay solution. It is necessary to soak the clay in the tub for a week, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary. Then add sand. Good solution The consistency resembles thick sour cream; it should be easy to handle with your hands and not spread.
• It is easy to check the quality of the solution. To do this, mix a small amount of clay with dry sand. Roll it into a rope with a diameter of 1 cm. It should not lose its shape, crack or spread.

Bricklaying

Order brick barbecue shown in the following figure. If you want to draw the order yourself, then it is most convenient to do this on a piece of paper in a cage.

The easiest way to lay a brick barbecue is to move each row by half a brick in one direction or the other. Laying the plinth should begin from the corners towards the center along pre-marked lines. Every 3 rows, check the level and plumb line, and also lay down the reinforcing mesh.

The first row of masonry, like the second, is made continuous. The base may have different heights, depending on the project, and several compartments in which it is convenient to store firewood, charcoal, some utensils, etc.

For the roasting pan, you can use pre-cast concrete base with reinforcement or lay it out of brick.

If the firebox is planned to be arched, then a circle is used. A gap of 1 cm is left between the bricks. It is best to use wood chips for this. This way you can distribute the bricks evenly. Only after this the space is sprayed with water and filled with solution. The circle is left for 1-2 days.

The top of the firebox is covered with a reinforced concrete beam or an iron corner. Another row of bricks is laid on top of the lintel.

If you plan to use a brick grill as a barbecue, then you need to think in advance about where to install the grate. For this purpose small protrusions are made. The grill itself is placed on reinforcement bars embedded in the walls of the building. You can make several projections to be able to place the grill at different levels.

Next, wind walls are laid and a smoke collector is made. The pipe is attached to supporting columns and gradually narrows. This is the most simple design. And to protect it from precipitation, a metal canopy is installed above it.

IN simple circuits For barbecues made of brick, the pipe may be completely absent, as well as wind walls.

Finishing and canopy

In order for the building to last as long as possible, it is necessary to build a canopy.

He can be:

• general and cover the entire recreation area;
• be located directly above the grill.

To do this, concrete bases are made under the canopy pillars or fixed to the base. The supports can be metal or wood. In the latter case, according to the rules fire safety they must be at least 16 cm away from the structure and treated with special antiseptics.

The roof for the canopy is made from absolutely any material. But if it is combined with the roof of the house and other outbuildings, then the brick grill will harmoniously fit into the overall landscape.

The structure can be left as it is, just by walking a little grinder. Can be coated with special paints for brick ovens. The finishing from decorative stone. You can also use special plaster.

More use various elements decor not only on the grill itself, but also on the doors of built-in cabinets, shelves, etc.

Watch the following video, which clearly shows the process of building a brick grill.

Projects, diagrams and drawings

There are many ready-made projects for brick barbecues, varying in level of complexity, costs and decorative options. You can develop your own drawing based on existing diagrams.

We present a barbecue diagram, according to which it is easy to build a barbecue out of brick with your own hands.

Typically, the height from the ground to the roasting pan is defined as the distance from the level of the hand to the floor. If the owner is tall, then the firebox will be located quite high. The width of the frying pan does not exceed 30 cm, otherwise a standard skewer will simply fall into it. Most often it does not exceed 1 m in length, based on 10 skewers.

You can build a brick grill with your own hands according to the following drawing.

A barbecue is one of the mandatory attributes of a summer holiday. If space and budget allow, it is quite possible to arrange it in your own summer cottage. These days, there are many detailed instructions that describe step by step how to make a brick grill on your own.

Yes, you can just buy a ready-made barbecue for your dacha, but there is something attractive in plans to build such a barbecue out of brick with your own hands. A country barbecue is not only a gathering place for the whole family and an interesting element of country design.

Advantages of a brick grill (barbecue)

1. It is possible to cook not only meat, but also other products. For example, fish, various seafood, vegetables, poultry, even sweets.
2. Larger dimensions and a round (usually) shape of the roaster + back wall contribute to a more uniform distribution of heat over the entire area.
3. Products are not strung on skewers, but placed on a grid, and you can change its position in height, thereby choosing the optimal mode.
4. Heat can be obtained not only from burning wood or coal, but also from other heat sources.
5. Existence of a hood.
6. In some cases, a temperature indicator is installed, which provides additional convenience in cooking.
7. It is not necessary to marinate the meat before cooking.

Choosing a place to install the barbecue and its dimensions

This is where you need to start. On several hundred square meters, when literally every “inch of land” is accessible, making a choice is not so easy. But the drawing of the barbecue is drawn up based on the size of the segment on which the stove will be built.

What is taken into account:

• The barbecue should not become a hindrance to the daily work process at the dacha.
• It is advisable to place the stove so that the prevailing wind blows the smoke away from the house.
• There should be a main pipe near this place.
• It is hardly advisable to bring a full-fledged water supply line to the object, and even pull it through the site.
• To prevent the vagaries of the weather from becoming an obstacle when preparing barbecue, it is advisable to erect at least a light canopy over the barbecue.
• Therefore, there should be no tall bushes or fruit trees nearby.
• And if you consider that the heat from the stove will not affect them in the best possible way, then the need for some distance from vegetation becomes even more obvious.
• In addition to the barbecue itself, it is advisable to equip this area with a storage area for firewood, as well as place a small table and at least a couple of benches (as an option).

It will be equally important to consider the following:

• The ground surface must be flat;
• It is advisable to place a barbecue area near the kitchen. This will make it easier, if necessary, to equip the cooking area with light or water.

When building a barbecue, it is better to decide in advance where you will cook the meat, serve it and wash the dishes.

The grill is a source of open fire. Its location should be at a sufficient distance from buildings, especially flammable ones, as well as from trees and bushes.

Tools

List of tools needed to build a brick barbecue:

• measuring tape,
• as a rule,
• wheelbarrow,
• chalk,
• bayonet,
• sledgehammer,
• pitchfork,
• shovel,
• bucket,
• trowel for laying mortar and jointing,
• jigsaw,
• pick,
• chisel,
• rubber and carpenter's hammers,
• level,
• saw.

Selection of bricks for the barbecue

The operation of a brick barbecue is very different from the use of other buildings.

Construction of a brick barbecue

Therefore, when selecting bricks, it is necessary to take into account the following conditions:

1. High temperatures. When burning some types of wood, the temperature can reach 1000 °C or higher.
2. Sudden temperature changes. In a short time, the brick heats up to high temperatures and then cools down very quickly.

Attention! For regular red or sand-lime brick It is simply impossible to maintain such a regime. The result will be rapid destruction, manifested in the appearance of cracks.

Some types of refractory bricks are designed to withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures, for example, in industrial furnaces, but are not able to withstand sudden heating and cooling. The consequence of its use will also be rapid destruction.

Therefore it is better to use red kiln brick. It is designed specifically for significant changes in thermal conditions, and is able to last a long time without destruction.

Preparatory work

Foundation for a brick barbecue

For a barbecue in the country, given that it is made of brick, the most rational decision There will be a slab base. Firstly, strength and stability of the structure are ensured. Secondly, you won’t have to carry out volumetric excavation, which is for the lived-in summer cottage highly undesirable.

To begin, mark out the area prepared for the foundation. To do this, you can use twine and pegs (its size should correspond to the area of ​​the barbecue in the drawing).

Then you need to dig a hole in the designated place (a depth of 30 cm will be sufficient). In the resulting pit you need to install formwork. The bonding solution will be placed in it. This mixture is prepared from sand and cement in a ratio of 3 to 1.

The base of a brick barbecue must be reinforced. For such purposes, both reinforcing bars and reinforcing mesh are used. The rods must be placed in the base after filling half of the prepared volume of the foundation.

In the case of a mesh, it will have to be laid twice. The lower part of the foundation needs to be filled with approximately one third of the solution, lay a mesh on top of it, fill another third and lay the next reinforcing layer. Then simply fill the foundation to the required height.

Laying a brick grill

To make brick walls look neat and even, it is recommended to first lay the first row of material without mortar. On the foundation you can mark guidelines for the location of all next rows in the masonry.

The brick grill should be laid out in a checkerboard pattern, i.e. the next row will always be shifted by half brick block in relation to the previous one.

Before laying bricks, you must ensure that the foundation is sufficiently hardened. To be sure, it is better to wait a few days before starting work.

Masonry mortar

For laying the barbecue, two types of mortar are used:

Standard mortar for areas not in direct contact with fire. Depending on the brand of cement, the amount of sand is calculated:

• for M25, a proportion of 5 parts sand to 1 part cement is used;
• for M50 – 4 to 1;
• for M75 – 3 to 1.

Fireclay clay is used for laying the firebox itself. This fireproof material can withstand high temperatures. In building materials stores it can be found under the name “kaolin”.

Laying process

The procedure for laying bricks directly depends on the order of your chosen design/drawing of the barbecue, which must be strictly adhered to, so below we will only indicate general rules and tips:

• Carefully lay the bricks of the initial row.
• You need to start laying out the row from the corner, and only then fill the side walls.
• The width of the spaces between the bricks is 1 cm.
• Maintain the correct angles and level of masonry.
• The solution for the first row should be thick.
• The bricks of the next row necessarily overlap the seams of the previous row.
• When laying out subsequent rows, do not forget to check the corners of the masonry for verticality.
• Every third seam must be reinforced with mesh or steel rods.

Roasting rack

For the base under the roasting pan, it is necessary to place metal corners or reinforcing bars between the opposite walls.

The base of the firebox made of bricks is laid out on them. For us, this role is played by a metal pallet. The main condition is that the firebox is easily cleaned of ash.

In the area of ​​the firebox, it is necessary to leave side gaps in the brickwork unfilled with mortar. This will ensure air enters the chamber. After all, without an influx of oxygen, the combustion process of fuel is impossible.

The base for the brazier is placed in the space between the walls of the structure. To do this, metal rods or corners can be placed between them, on which the brick base will be laid. As an alternative, you can use a tray made of thick metal sheet.

Chimney for barbecue

The easiest option is to install metal box, shaped like a cone, tapering upward.

It is more difficult to make a brick chimney; practical experience is needed here. It is enough just to note that it is necessary to correctly calculate its height.

For the construction of the firebox and chimney, only refractory bricks are used.

Working surface

For greater ease of use of a brick grill, build a special work area directly next to it. The countertop should be in harmony with the overall appearance of the resulting stove and be convenient for use. You can take durable floor or paving tiles.

For work surface It is important that it is durable and washes well.

+Bonuses

Calculation of materials for building a barbecue made of bricks (for example)

The grill, built according to the proposed drawing, is used for preparing dishes of any cuisine: Russian, European, oriental. You can cook in it - smoke, fry, bake, boil - for a large number of eaters.

Materials:

• Brick - 1850 pcs. (without pipe)
• Clay - 1 m³ sand - 2 m³
• Rod ∅ 14 mm - 2.2 m
• Strip steel 50x5 - 1.2 m
• Sheet steel S=5 mm - 1.5 m²
• Water and gas pipe 1/2″ - 0.4 m
• Steel corner 100x100 - 2.9 m

Furnace appliances:

• Grate 415x260 - 7 pcs.
• Ash pan door 270x130 - 3 pcs.

You shouldn’t start cooking kebabs right away. . A newly built barbecue, as well as any other oven, must be preheated. This means that for at least a couple of days it is heated idle, that is, in a gentle mode, with a small addition of firewood. And only after such a kind of “break-in” can the structure be used for its intended purpose, that is, to cook kebabs.

DIY brick barbecue

For many city residents, relaxing at the dacha is inevitably associated with a fragrant meal on fresh air. A few hours in nature will definitely whet your appetite. But it will be even larger, and the taste of a freshly prepared meat dish will be even more pleasant if you cook it yourself on your own barbecue. Well, let's figure out how to make it ourselves.

Features of building a barbecue on a summer cottage

To become the owner of your own simple brick barbecue, you don’t always need to call on professionals for help. Even intellectual workers can make this simple device with their own hands - the procedure is so simple and labor intensive.

However, before starting practical actions, it would be nice to indulge in a little reflection. This is how you can imagine appearance future design, the presence of related equipment elements, and, of course, the upcoming location of the barbecue.

An important point in such planning is the choice of material. And, based on practical experience For many owners of such culinary structures, brick is considered the best material.

Choosing an area for a barbecue

The location of the future structure should be chosen based on two motives:

• Conditions for comfortable use
• Safety requirements for handling open flames

It is advisable to locate a gazebo with a barbecue not too far from the house, since you will have to get water and ingredients from there. At the same time, too close a location risks the fact that sparks from the barbecue can reach highly flammable cladding materials of a residential building.

It is advisable that there are no decorative and garden plantings, as well as outbuildings and structures for animals near the location.

The barbecue area must be spacious to provide small area for eating and resting. When choosing a location, you need to pay attention to the prevailing winds in the area and place the structure in a place where gusts of wind are insignificant.

Choosing a building format

Depending on the dimensions, location conditions and your own preferences, the shape of the main structure of a brick barbecue for a summer house can have several types of configuration:

• Round
• Hexagon
• Rectangular
• Square
• Triangular

And depending on the chosen form you will have to choose required amount bricks and also related materials to build a barbecue.

What else you need to consider before starting to build a barbecue

In addition to the described conditions and possibilities, before building the structure, you need to think about some nuances.

The style of barbecue can be varied, but ideally it should be combined with the style of a country house.

At the same time, there are no design requirements and the decision regarding design depends entirely on the owner of the summer cottage.

In addition, you need to take into account the need to build a gazebo or at least a light canopy. Particular attention should be paid to additional structural elements - sink, countertop, oven or smoking compartment.

With engineering precision, it is advisable to think through the placement of a brazier, grates and skewers in a brick barbecue design. To ensure safety, a special tray must be installed under the fryer grates to collect burnt-out fuel residues.

Preparing materials for barbecue

The main building component of this structure is brick.

In the process of laying a brick barbecue with your own hands, you will have to use two types of bricks, one of which is intended for facing masonry, and the second is used to lay out the barbecue frame itself.

So, how to build a brick barbecue with your own hands? For construction you will need two categories of basic material:

• Fire brick
• Clinker brick

At the same time, it is necessary to stock up on cement, sand, gravel, clay - these are bulk materials.

Important! Bulk materials will be needed for pouring the foundation and preparing working solutions. And you need to remember that the clay mortar will be used for laying the inner surface of the barbecue oven, as well as the chimney. Cement mortar will be used for the foundation base and facing works With clinker bricks.

Along with this you need to prepare:

• Board for formwork construction
• Metal grate for grilling
• Waterproofing materials
• Chimney pipe with valve
• Metal mesh for the foundation

At the same time as the materials, you need to prepare the tools - you only need a few of them.

How to properly lay out a brick grill?

Your working arsenal should include a shovel, trowel, bucket for mortar, and, if possible, a mortar mixer and a grinder for cutting facing bricks.

Foundation structure

Like any construction, we build a barbecue from bricks from the foundation.

Foundation type - slab.

A depression of up to 300 mm in size is made on the prepared surface, at the bottom of which sand is placed to construct a cushion. Fine crushed stone is poured over it and a metal mesh is laid. The resulting base layer is filled with concrete mixture.

Before completely dry, which will end in 5-6 days, work on the site will stop.

Construction of a barbecue

So, the foundation is ready, now let's figure out how to make a brick barbecue with your own hands. The stage begins with the direct construction of a brick barbecue oven. Depending on the configuration and type of construction, it is possible various nuances in the furnace project. But, nevertheless, with any type of it, you will have to perform some general elements.

First, waterproofing material is laid at the location. The first stage of construction is laid on it using ordinary bricks. A place is immediately made for storing a small supply of firewood - a woodpile. To make it, you can lay one brick.

Firebox

In the process of constructing these structural elements A corner barbecue made of brick should be remembered about the plans of the drafted project, which includes the availability of additional funds.

If necessary, ovens, spits and other attributes must be firmly installed during the process of laying the furnace firebox and its wall surfaces. If you have a sink, it is advisable to leave space near the stove pedestal for a drainage system.

BBQ grill

During this stage, a metal grate is placed between the firebox and the collection of burnt-out residues. A sheet of metal with a thickness of at least 5 mm can also be used.

The sheets should be placed approximately on the fifth row of masonry.

To ensure strength after the fifth row of masonry cement mortar lay metal rods with a cross-section of at least 3-5 mm, or narrow metal plates of similar thickness. They should protrude 75-80 mm beyond the masonry.

After the mortar hardens and the next rows are laid, these protruding elements will serve as support for the slab or grate.

Something to remember! When building a brick barbecue oven with your own hands, you need to stick to small sizes, since a structure that is too high may have weak draft, which will constantly lead to smoke.

After completing the first tier of construction, the shape of the stove begins to narrow, gradually turning into a chimney.

After several rows of the chimney structure, a pipe is installed on top and strengthened with cement mortar.

The outer part of the wall surfaces of the barbecue is laid out with clinker bricks, and can also be used decorative brick or tile for cladding.

During the stage of external masonry external forms of the furnace are constructed in the form of openings of different shapes and arches.

Final work

After finishing the laying and installation of the pipe and additional elements barbecue design, you need to give the structure an aesthetic appearance. To do this, you need to clear the seams between the brick rows from the influx of mortar, make and install seats and a table. If provided for by the project, you need to build a canopy.

As a rule, many people like to relax at the dacha, and what would a vacation be without delicious barbecue!

Do-it-yourself brick barbecue oven: drawings and order

To prepare such a dish you need a certain place. BBQ is perfect for this! If you don’t have this device, you can make it yourself. For design DIY barbecue makers materials that are resistant to fire are needed. These are bricks or metal surfaces.

Properties of barbecue materials used

Making a brick barbecue is not difficult. The main thing is to choose quality brick and make the right solution. Excellent choice will become a ceramic brick, which is slightly different from the brick for cladding in its grainy and rough texture.

However, the brick structure has one drawback: it cannot be moved to another place. This can only be done using special equipment.

Metal barbecue maker also does not require special effort for the manufacture of. You need to choose a metal that fits the shape, and welding is not useful for processing the structure.

It is worth noting that over time the metal rusts and corrodes due to temperature changes, but it is quite light in weight, the barbecue can be moved to another place.

DIY brick barbecue

Detailed instructions for making a barbecue can be found on the Internet or you can ask a master stove maker. It is important to design the structure correctly. It is necessary that the emanating smoke be directed vertically and not create inconvenience during cooking. To do this, you should follow the rules when forming a combustion chamber, use 3 components:

• brick niches;
• metal shelves, steel plates from an old stove;
• slabs for the base paving slabs or pouring it in the form of a foundation with formwork and cement.

A brick barbecue is built quickly, look at photos and video examples. The manufacturing process is not complicated; no special tools are required.

There are a huge number of different projects, for example, corner barbecues, complexes with a cauldron, with a gazebo, etc. The choice of models is limited only by imagination. You also need to take into account the features of landscape design and the design of the gazebo.

What to look for when choosing a brick barbecue project:

• Distance from home. The kitchen should be close to the outdoor barbecue so as not to have to walk too far for food or utensils.
• The appearance of the stove must match architectural features your home and landscape design plot.
• For limited space local area there is no point in choosing a project with a large gazebo.
• The foundation must be strong.
• Choose barbecue designs that best suit your height and shape.
• The size or canopy must correspond to the number of people relaxing.
• Pay attention to additional options. Perhaps you need a barbecue with a smokehouse or a cauldron.
• Having chosen the project you like, study the design of the grill and skewers. They should be convenient for preparing your favorite dishes.
• It is imperative to have a safe and convenient tray for coals, which should be well protected from gusts of wind.

Brick barbecue with cauldron

Particularly popular among residents of country houses and summer residents is a brick barbecue with a cauldron. With them, any event turns into a chic celebration. You can invite your friends over for the weekend and cook delicious meals outdoors.

The cauldron is ideal for these purposes. This model will allow you to enjoy the taste of aromatic Uzbek pilaf, dolma or juicy meat with vegetables. A barbecue oven with a cauldron can be purchased at an adequate price, but if you want maximum comfort, it is better not to get carried away by excessive savings.

An oven with a cauldron can also be used as regular stove. This makes it possible to cook soup and prepare absolutely any dish. To do this, the hole is covered with a special cast iron sheet.

Conclusion

Having built a barbecue complex on the territory of his country house, you will move to a new level of comfort. You will not only cook your favorite dishes, but at the same time you will be able to enjoy socializing in the fresh air with your loved ones.

But to achieve such a result, you need to study various projects barbecue and choose the one that best suits your requirements. First of all, pay attention to the technical parameters and characteristics on which the safety and reliability of the stove depends. And only in last resort- on the appearance of the structure.

What could be more wonderful than relaxing with family or friends in the fresh air? A pleasant pastime is most often complemented by a picnic with cooking meat or fish. To do this, when traveling, they use various folding devices such as a prefabricated barbecue or grill. If you are the owner of a country plot, then once built, a barbecue oven will become the very place around which you can gather with loved ones for a delicious lunch and pleasant conversations. Despite its apparent complexity, a brick barbecue can be easily built with your own hands. Photos of existing structures, drawings and layout diagrams, tips and recommendations from experienced stove makers will greatly facilitate the work.

Features and benefits of barbecue

A barbecue built with your own hands will become not only a functional addition, but also a real decoration of a suburban area.

A barbecue oven is far superior in functionality to other designs designed for outdoor cooking. A brick barbecue allows you to cook shish kebab or steak, bake fish or vegetables, smoke fish and meat products, cook first and second courses, dry fruits or mushrooms and much more.

Being to some extent a symbiosis of a barbecue, grill, smokehouse and grate, the barbecue also has features that make this design unique and effective:

1. The structure has a back wall, which allows you to evenly distribute the temperature throughout the entire internal volume and retain heat.
2. Using a chimney allows you to create draft and remove smoke from the cooking area.
3. Fuel combustion occurs in the firebox, not in metal pallet, such as in a barbecue or grill. This makes the structure safer and more durable.
4. Heat in a barbecue oven is spent more efficiently, since even after cooking, the bricks of the structure maintain a high temperature.

A huge advantage of the design is that the barbecue allows you not only to cook food, but also to heat the room. This can be a real boon for closed or semi-closed gazebos. open type allowing you to relax in comfort not only in summer, but also in the off-season.

Kinds

There are many garden barbecue stoves, among which there are several types of designs that have the following features:

• an enlarged open-type firebox (it is used as a garden or gazebo fireplace) and a built-in grate or spit;
• a heat chamber like a Russian oven, for cooking pies, pastries, etc.;
• barbecue area or stationary structure for preparing barbecue;
• niche for a cauldron;
• smoke chamber for producing home-made smoked meats;
• hob.

Truly universal structures are barbecue complexes, which are multifunctional structures that include all the above-mentioned additions.

Design of a garden barbecue oven

The simplest barbecue oven is a brick structure half a brick thick, laid in the shape of the letter U. The height of the structure can be from 1 meter or more. Of course, the larger the stove, the stronger the concrete base on which it is installed should be.

Scheme of a simple garden stove with a grate

At a level of about 70 - 75 cm from the floor, protrusions are made of bricks laid across the masonry in the side walls of the structure. During operation, a tray rests on these protrusions, in which charcoal or firewood is burned. At a distance of 10, 15, 20, 25 cm from the brick ledges, guides are built into the side walls of the barbecue. Thanks to the ability to adjust the height of the food rack to the desired height, you can choose the optimal temperature regime.

Lateral and back walls stoves perform both windproof and heat-storing functions. It must be said that in more complex designs, the barbecue working chamber has a vaulted shape and a narrow smoke channel, which improve the efficiency of the stove and increase its efficiency.

The combustion zone is laid out from fireclay refractory bricks, which are laid on a mortar of heat-resistant cement and river sand. In some cases, a clay-sand composition is used, adjusting the mass fractions of the components depending on the fat content of the clay. The walls of the structure are erected from red facing bricks using ordinary cement-sand mortar.

Often the barbecue design is supplemented with comfortable work surfaces, a Russian oven, a sink, various niches and shelves. This makes the oven more functional and easy to use.

Preparatory stage

On preparatory stage choose a place for future construction, determine the design and size of the barbecue, and also stock up on the necessary tools and materials.

Deciding on a place for a garden stove and its design

When choosing the design, size and location for a barbecue, several rules are followed:

• the distance from the structure to the house should not be large, since during the cooking process you will have to go back and forth repeatedly;
• there should be no trees or bushes near the fireplace;
• during construction, the wind rose is taken into account - smoke from the barbecue should not go towards the house;
• the design and style of the structure must match the style of the estate and favorably emphasize its strengths;
• on small area the stove will look harmonious big size with optimally located work areas;
• A large barbecue requires the construction of a solid foundation.

In addition, it is necessary to foresee how protection from rain will be provided, to consider the design of additional elements such as a grill, smokehouse, work surface with a sink, etc.

Drawings and dimensions of the future furnace

Since each section has its own unique landscape and layout features, then most likely you yourself will determine the dimensions and appearance of the barbecue. However, when developing a scheme, it should be taken into account that the height at which the grille is located should ensure convenience and safety. For people of average height, the grill and tabletop are located at the level of the ninth or tenth row of bricks. Otherwise, you will have to constantly bend over, or, even worse, be dangerously close to the fire. The pallet or grate is installed on metal rods placed between bricks or rested on protrusions in the masonry. It's better if everything optional equipment will be removable. In the future, this will make it easier to care for, and in addition, the grates, grill and tray can be removed for the winter so that the metal does not become rusty.

Drawing of a barbecue with orders

Drawings of barbecue arrangements

In your work, you can use drawings of a barbecue oven with dimensions of 1500x7500 mm. Taking them as a basis and adding the necessary work surfaces, you will get a functional structure that will meet all your needs. If necessary, the dimensions can be changed while maintaining the proportions of the main parts. Don't forget to include space for fuel in your design. In addition, we remind you that the grill is installed at a height of about 70 cm, and the oven is located 10 cm lower.

Materials and tools

During the construction process, you will need two types of bricks - fireclay, which is used to lay out the firebox, and facing. For masonry, it will be necessary to prepare two types of mortar - clay for the combustion zone and sand-cement for the furnace body. During the work process, you can also use ready-made building mixtures. In addition to brick, clay, sand and cement, you will need:

• gravel or small crushed stone - for the foundation;
• rod or reinforcing mesh - for concrete reinforcement;
• boards for formwork;
• sheet metal - the size of a barbecue;
• firebox and ash doors;
• grate;
• stove with burners;
• smoke duct door;
• steel corners or reinforcement for floors;
• plywood 20 mm thick - for making an arched frame;
• roofing felt;
• concrete mixer;
• grinder with circles for stone and metal;
• mason's and rubber hammer;
• trowel;
• plumb line and bubble level;
• shovels (scoop and bayonet);
• tampers;
• buckets;
• cord and pegs.

After everything is ready, we begin marking and building the foundation.

Step-by-step instructions for building a barbecue

Construction brick oven Do-it-yourself barbecue is best done in stages, proceeding to the next point of the plan only after the previous stage has been completely completed. This will allow you to do the work efficiently and without errors.

Arrangement of formwork and installation of armored belt

During construction, the structure should not get wet, so a canopy is installed over the structure or the masonry is covered with plastic film.

• The vaulted ceilings of the niches are laid out starting from the 9th row of bricks.

  The 9th row is completed by installing lintels under the vaulted ceilings of the niches

• The 10th and 11th rows form the ceiling and pedestal.

  After laying the 10th and 11th rows, install jumpers under the tabletop

• The 12th row is performed continuously. This is a tabletop. To highlight it against the background of the masonry and make the structure more convenient, a quarter-brick release is made at this level.

  12th row. Starting from the tabletop, the combustion zone is laid out with refractory bricks

• From rows 13 to 15 the firebox is laid out.

  Rows 16 - 24 form the combustion chamber

• To ensure a smooth narrowing of the firebox arch, each top row is shifted relative to the bottom by ½ brick.

  Barbecue pipe narrowing

• The chimney is driven to the desired height, ending it with the so-called cap - a ¼ protrusion of the masonry. In this case, only sand-cement mortar is used. To prevent precipitation from entering the structure, a metal cap is subsequently installed on the chimney.

To decorate the surface of the stove during the construction process, they embroider masonry joints. In addition, if desired, the structure can be plastered and painted to match other structures located on the garden plot.

Features of operation

In order for your barbecue oven to serve properly and delight you for many years, you should take care of it regularly. Each time after use, the grill is thoroughly cleaned of food residues, otherwise during subsequent cooking, fumes and dirt will fall on fresh food. You can start washing barbecue parts only after the stove has completely cooled down. By the way, it is the barbecue grill that is most susceptible to destruction, so it must be kept clean and dry.

The surface of the combustion chamber is washed from burning as it becomes dirty, and cleaning chimney from soot is carried out at the beginning of each season.

When operating a barbecue, you should follow a few simple rules:

• During the cold season or after rain, you should not immediately fire up the barbecue at full power, as a sharp temperature change will lead to cracks. It's better to dry it internal surfaces oven for 20 - 25 minutes with a low flame. In addition, if there is no cap above the chimney, then water and snow must be removed from the firebox;
• To light a barbecue, use special liquids, charcoal and a device called a starter (a special container for fuel and charcoal). It is prohibited to use gasoline, kerosene and other fuels and lubricants;
• Do not cover the barbecue with a lid within 15 minutes after ignition. Otherwise, the formation of flammable gas is possible, which, after removing the lid and sudden access to oxygen, can ignite with a flash and pop;
• The taste of barbecued food is directly related to the quality of the fuel. It is no secret that in this case the best option is the wood of fruit trees;
• Cleaning the hearth from remnants of burnt fuel should be done after each cooking;
• When using a barbecue, you should strictly adhere to safety regulations, constantly monitoring the intensity of combustion and using protective gloves.

Treat your barbecue oven with care, and it will reward you with long-lasting, impeccable service and delicious, nutritious meals.

By allocating a few days and a certain amount of money to build a stationary brick barbecue, you will get a unique structure on your site that will become the center of gatherings with friends and relatives. In addition to the fact that a garden stove will give you the opportunity to please your loved ones delicious dishes, you will also gain invaluable experience that can raise your own self-esteem and increase your authority among colleagues and acquaintances.

Outdoor recreation in country house or a dacha is not complete without cooking in the open heat. You won’t surprise anyone with banal kebabs or baked vegetables, but in such conditions you can cook real pilaf or other complex dish only in a special fryer. This is a barbecue oven, the design of which includes the installation of a cauldron.

General structure of a barbecue oven with cauldron and sink

Barbecue oven is permanent structure for cooking various dishes to the heat of hot coals. The peculiarity of this installation is that the cooking process is carried out on a metal grate without an open flame, and the fryer is not covered with a lid.

In terminological terms, the concept of “barbecue” means a method of baking meat or plant products over smoldering coals at a temperature in the range of 100–130°C.

For the convenience of cooking, such devices are modernized by adding additional compartments and installations. A design that combines a barbecue oven, a roasting pan with the ability to install a cauldron, and an extension with a sink has become very popular. It should be noted that the roasting pan can be easily converted into a regular stove if you remove the cauldron and place cast iron rings of different sizes on the hole, forming a continuous surface.

A large barbecue oven has many positive and several negative qualities.

Preparation for construction: drawings and optimal dimensions

The construction of a barbecue oven structure must be preceded by preparatory measures for choosing a construction site, drawing up drawings and diagrams.

When choosing a site for construction, you must be guided by the following rules:

1. Between the furnace complex and residential building there must be a distance of at least 5 m.
2. Access to the kitchen should not be too far from the structure. If necessary, they can be located under one roof.
3. The building should be located away from neighbors’ residential buildings, as odors and smoke can irritate them.
4. The decision of all construction issues should be entrusted to specialists.
5. Before construction, it is necessary to conduct a soil study and, in accordance with its quality, select the appropriate type of foundation.

The size of the future barbecue oven plays an important role.

If the surface with the sink, barbecue grill or cauldron is placed too low, then after a while your back will get tired, and if the working surfaces are located too high during the cooking process, you will not be able to avoid burns.

To find golden mean, you should follow the rule - optimal height The working surface of the barbecue oven should be slightly below the level of the cook’s elbows.

If the width of the selected area does not allow making a wide structure, then this optimal parameter we can consider the value to be 240–250 cm. Such a stove complex will be compact and convenient. The width of the roasting pan should be 63–65 cm.

The size of the stove for the cauldron will be 3.5 bricks on each side, which corresponds to 87 cm.

Selection of material, calculation of required quantity

For the construction of barbecue ovens they use various materials, which include brick, metal, stone and clay.

The latter can be used to make a monolithic structure.

Clay was used in ancient pottery. The first historical mentions of such structures were found in the 3rd millennium BC. Nowadays, this type of furnace is used extremely rarely. To make it you need a special type of fatty clay.

Stone barbecue stoves are more common, but are not widely popular, since their construction requires rubble stone, sandstone and limestone. The disadvantage of this material is that it different shapes, which is why each element has to be carefully selected to each other.

Furnace complexes made of metal are widely used nowadays due to the relative cheapness of the material and the ease of its processing. A large number are already on sale ready-made structures. At home, such structures are made in compact sizes.. For this they use steel sheets or pipes with a thickness of at least 5 mm. A popular option is to use old propane tanks. The wall thickness and dimensions of these containers are suitable for the manufacture of such structures.

The most convenient, high-quality and durable material for a stove is brick. It has standard sizes and shapes.

It should be noted that not any type of brick is suitable for building a barbecue oven.. For example, silicate cannot be used. For braziers, ovens and other structures operating at high temperatures, fire-resistant red and fireclay materials are used. The combustion chamber is lined only with the second type.

In addition to the main building material, required:

1. Concrete mix to lay the foundation.
2. Boards or plywood panels for making formwork.
3. Reinforcing bars for the construction of a metal frame that strengthens the concrete base.
4. Sand and gravel for the foundation.
5. Wire, plastic clamps or welding machine for securing all connections of the reinforcement structure.
6. Waterproofing material for foundations. For this, thick polyethylene or roofing felt is usually used.
7. Metal sink, mixer, drainage devices, rubber hose.
8. Metal corners for installing a countertop with a sink, fasteners for a barbecue grill and other structural elements of the stove.

All these materials require careful calculations.

Bricks, clay mortar

To build a barbecue oven you will need 810–820 fireproof red ones, as well as 30–35 fireclay ones. The thickness of the seams between them is 3–5 mm.

Concrete, sand, gravel

Since the barbecue oven will combine several working areas, its design will occupy a large area of ​​​​land. In order for this complex to be stable, it is necessary to make a permanent foundation. A slab foundation is suitable as such.

To calculate the exact amount of concrete, you need to know the total volume of the base. To do this, you need to use a special geometric formula. Since the foundation will be made in the form of a flattened parallelepiped measuring 270x100x20 cm, the volume of the concrete mixture must be calculated using the formula V=h³, where h is the length of the side of the figure. Using an example, it will look like this: 2.7∙1.0∙0.2=0.54 m³.

Using the same formula, the volume of sand and gravel is calculated. The base requires a layer of each material 10 cm thick. It follows that sand is required: 2.7∙1.0∙0.1=0.27 m³. This is the same value for gravel.

Armature

To prevent the foundation from cracking under the weight of the stove, it is necessary to strengthen it. For this you need metal carcass. For its manufacture, reinforcing bars with a thickness of 12 mm are used. The metal structure is a three-dimensional frame in the form of two gratings, which are connected to each other by pieces of reinforcement 15 cm long. The size of each cell in the frame is 10x10 cm.

It is more convenient to calculate this material in linear meters. To do this, it is necessary to determine the total length of all the reinforcement for the frame. To do this, you must first calculate the number of rods located along the length of the frame, then along the width and between the gratings.

The rods are calculated according to the length of the structure. The length of each of them is 95 cm. It is necessary to determine how many rods will be placed along the length of the foundation if the distance between each of them is 10 cm. For this you need 270:10 = 27 pieces. It is necessary to add one more rod, since it will close the structure from the other edge of the frame. To find out how much it is in linear meters, you need 27∙0.95=26.6 m.

The same calculation principle is used to calculate the amount of reinforcement along the width of the base. For this, 100:10=10 pieces, in linear meters it will be: 2.7∙10=27 m.

It is necessary to add these values ​​to get the overall parameter for one grid: 26.6+27=53.6 m.

Since the design provides two gratings, then 53.6∙2=107.2 linear meters.

Now you need to calculate the number of reinforcement elements connecting the two parts of the frame. These rods are located along the perimeter (at the intersection of each rod), as well as inside the structure, at a distance of 90 cm from each other in rows.

From previous calculations, the number of rods along the width and length of the frame is known: 28 + 10 = 38 m. This value must be doubled, since the elements are located along the perimeter of the structure: 38∙2 = 76 pieces. Inside the frame there are two more rows of 10 pieces, so 76+20=96 pieces. It is easy to determine this value in linear meters: 96∙0.15=14.4 linear meters.

Waterproofing for foundation

To calculate the required quantity waterproofing material, you need to find the area of ​​the base. The area of ​​this figure is determined by the following formula: S=a∙b, where a is the width, b is the length of the rectangle. Let's substitute the values: 2.7∙1.0=2.7 m².

Step-by-step instructions for making a barbecue oven with a cauldron

When the site for construction has been selected and prepared, drawings and diagrams of the future structure are drawn up, and necessary materials purchased, you can begin the actual construction of the barbecue oven. To do this you need to do the following:

1. In the selected area, make markings for the foundation of the future furnace. You can use cords and stakes for this.
2. In accordance with the markings, dig a pit 35 cm deep. Its bottom must be leveled and compacted.
3. Pour sand inside the pit to form a uniform layer 10 cm thick. The material will be better compressed if it is wetted.
4. Pour the same layer of gravel on top.
5. From edged boards or thick plywood to make formwork. Its height must be at least 25 cm so that the level of poured concrete does not reach the top edge of the side.
6. Place the formwork on the bottom of the pit parallel to its walls.
7. From reinforcing bars 12 mm thick, make a three-dimensional frame with cells measuring 10x10 cm. The structure should not touch the bottom, so place it under it in a checkerboard pattern. wooden blocks or fragments of bricks.
8. Pour the concrete mixture. For the foundation, use cement grade M 250. Reinforcement frame should be completely hidden under the liquid solution.
9. Cover the foundation with waterproofing material. To do this, use roofing material or thick polyethylene. This is necessary so that the moisture inside the concrete evaporates evenly. If you leave the foundation uncovered, the top layer will dry out quickly. In the future, this may cause the base to crack. The concrete mixture will harden in 4-5 days. For the first two days, you need to open the waterproofing and water the base with water every 10–12 hours. Polyethylene or roofing felt prevents moisture from evaporating quickly. This ensures uniform hardening of the slab foundation.
10. When the base is dry, it must be covered with a layer of roofing material or other waterproofing material, and only lay brick on it. The first 6–7 rows are not held together with cement mortar.
11. The barbecue oven must be arranged in accordance with the diagram. Each subsequent row must be shifted relative to the previous one in a checkerboard pattern. This method has a name - half-brick masonry. This ensures a reliable bond of the material.
12. For the combustion chamber it is necessary to use fireclay bricks. It can withstand temperatures over 1600°C. Check each row for vertical and horizontal using a building level, square and plumb line.
13. Create places for ash pans and doors.
14. For a cauldron, it is necessary to make a combustion chamber in the form of a straight or tapering cylinder. This part of the furnace is made of fireclay bricks.
15. Construction of the chimney can begin only after the mortar in the masonry has completely hardened. The pipe can be built not only from brick. Metal is often used for this.
16. Install faucet and sink. Connect the water supply hoses.
17. After the solution has completely dried and the furnace structure has shrunk, you can begin finishing it. For this you can use stone, brick, tiles or whitewash.
18. The finishing material must be attached to the prepared base. To do this, you must first plaster the surface using a mounting mesh with a cell size of 10x10 mm.
19. If you choose whitewash, then you need to use one that does not get dirty. Slaked carbide or lime salt are suitable for this.
20. To decorate with stones and tiles, it is enough to clean the surface from dust and use ready-made adhesive mixtures.

Nuances of use

In order for the barbecue oven and its working elements to please you for a long time, you need to use it correctly:

1. The heat will be uniform if you first remove the old ash.
2. Smoke from residues under the ash pan from previous cooking can spoil the taste of the dish.
3. Before use, a new cast iron cauldron must be lubricated. sunflower oil, and then heat it on the stove for 20 minutes. Add oil if necessary. After the specified time, leave the cauldron to dry, then drain the remaining oil. Wipe the inside with a dry cloth. It is now ready to use. Each subsequent dish cooked in it will be tastier.
4. It will be more comfortable to use such a stove if the floors in front of it are laid with stone, and a canopy or roof is made over the brazier.

You can build a barbecue oven with your own hands, if you strictly follow the instructions and treat this process responsibly. This design will serve you for a long time and will fully meet your expectations.
