The braziers produced today are available in such a large assortment that the eyes run up: forged, metal, brick, of various sizes and shapes. The choice is really great, but you can do it differently. It is within the power of everyone to make barbecues with their own hands: one stationary and one folding for going out into the countryside, for example. A self-made brazier has a number of advantages that are essential for some and useless for others. Do-it-yourself barbecues will be made exactly as the owner wishes, in addition, this will help save money.
Building barbecues is not difficult and will only take a few days. Before starting construction, it is necessary to select a site on which the brazier will stand. Do not install the structure near flammable objects, as well as near a house or a neighbor's fence.
Barbecues with their own hands can be made in various designs - brick, metal. So, first things first.
Do-it-yourself barbecue grill frombrick
If you chose a brick for construction, then it is already clear that the brazier will be stationary. Working with bricks involves the complexity of the process and greater attention to structural features.
Do-it-yourself braziers made of bricks are reliable, strong and durable. For their construction, a special heat-resistant brick is selected. The crate is usually made of tiles and reinforcing mesh. It should be noted that the building material must be not only heat-resistant, but also moisture-resistant. Metal parts must be made of stainless steel.
Like any other structure, the brazier is installed on the foundation. It is necessary to dig a hole up to 70 cm deep, the bottom of which is covered with sand. Formwork is installed and reinforcement is laid, after which concrete can be poured. It will not take much, depending on the size of the brazier.
After building the foundation, you can begin to install the structure itself. Barbecues are installed in various designs, in this case, the design will include a conventional oven on which you can cook food. Barbecues with a small table for kitchen utensils are also popular, which allows you not to run into the house, but to have everything at hand. They can also differ in design and form, and therefore you can completely make your own project if you understand at least a little about it.
Metal grills
In addition to brick, another material is used for the construction of the brazier - heat-resistant metal. Usually its minimum thickness is 2-3 mm. Having the skills of welding, you are able to make a simple barbecue for cooking juicy barbecue for a family holiday. And if there is no such experience, then you can make a design on bolted joints.
With this design, the depth of the brazier plays an important role. If it is too small, then the kebab will burn, if it is large, then cooking will take quite a long time.
The brazier will be a rectangular box with holes made in it on the sides around the entire perimeter. This is a must to ensure proper air flow.
It is easier to work with metal, and therefore some decorative elements can be added, which will give the barbecue an unusual look. You can add a small roof to the design, it is of little use, but it looks beautiful.
Among other things, some craftsmen came up with a design that requires only a cylinder (gas). Do-it-yourself barbecue is original and unusual. Of course, this is not safe, and before carrying out work, it is necessary to remove the remaining gas. The bolon is cut in half, the bottom and top remain, the legs are welded - and the brazier is ready!
