Brick braziers are useful helpers, which are a special brazier used for cooking fish, meat and vegetables. With the help of the grill you can enjoy he althy and fragrant food. In order to cook mouth-watering dishes on an open fire, you can not buy a brazier in a store, but build it yourself. In this article, we will introduce you to the techniques for building a brazier.
First you need to choose a place for the construction, because brick barbecues require a certain area on the site. The brazier should not be very far from the house itself, but at the same time it is important to take into account the direction of the wind. This will help to avoid such a problem as a quarrel with neighbors who can be disturbed by smoke. Then you need to acquire the necessary material and tools.
Outdoor brick barbecues are built from heat-resistant material. This is probably one of the main criteria when choosing a building material. You will also need gravel, sand, cement, cellular concrete blocks, rubble, facing tiles, mortar, cement glue and wall blocks. Wooden elements will come in handy, they can be used for crates. Also needed: reinforcing mesh, tiles, various parts for connection.
Brick braziers will last longer if the foundation is properly poured during their construction. To do this, you need to dig a trench 50 cm deep. The formwork can be made from sheet plywood, and reinforcement can be laid out at the bottom of the pit. After pouring the trench with concrete mix, you need to let it dry well and waterproof it. And only now you can start building the barbecue itself.
When laying refractory bricks on the foundation, it is important to pay attention to the fact that the joints do not coincide in rows. Check the vertical and horizontal planes with a level, use a special heat-resistant mortar for laying bricks, and only in this case you will get a durable brazier. A brick smokehouse will last you longer if you can follow these rules. Ceramic refractory bricks can be used in the construction of the wall, plinth and vault of the brazier. This material lends itself to grinding and cutting, and, if necessary, its edges can be rounded. Therefore, a beautiful and original structure can be built from bricks.
The base of the hearth is cast in horizontal formwork. Reinforcing mesh is used here inas a frame, it is attached to the base with a solution. The bottom of the hearth and the wind walls are laid out with bricks. The walls must have grooves so that gratings can be installed. A canopy is a structure that will protect brick barbecues from rain, snow and the scorching sun. Its base can be built from wooden racks, and any roof can be used. The most important thing is that it should be combined with the roof covering of your house. And the final part of the construction of a brick barbecue is its decoration. Let your imagination run wild and decorate the structure while respecting fire safety.
