It is not known who and when invented the brazier, and is it really that important. The main thing is that around this wonderful thing you can gather in a friendly company and, by all the rules of barbecue, fry aromatic, juicy, tasty meat on the coals.
Shish kebab is not just food, it is, albeit brief, but a moment of return to nature. Is it because everyone loves this dish so much because with our
genetic memory lies a love for meat fried on charcoal? Perhaps this is the true philosophy of barbecue.
But today this is not about that, but about barbecues - a universal device that is useful for those who love outdoor recreation. They are known to be stationary or portable. The first of them can be considered capital buildings, rather complex and expensive structures, but for the most part they look very decorative and provide maximum comfort. The dimensions of the barbecue in the case of a stationary option depend solely on the size of the site and the design idea. The basic principles on which the design is based are simplicity, usability and safety, functionality and beauty. The roasting pan can be additionally equipped with various devices that make the use of the structure more comfortable.
Portable barbecue grills can be used not only on a personal plot, but also in other places: in a forest, on a river, etc. Usually, all the components of such a mobile device are made removable so that it can easily be folded into a kind of case. Brazier dimensions should be optimal so that when folded it fits easily in the trunk of a car. Structurally, it is a rectangular metal box with legs, with handles on the sides. Recesses for skewers are made in the upper part of the side walls, and ventilation holes are provided in the bottom.
Braziers of industrial production often turn out to be short-lived, and those that are of decent quality are usually expensive. Meanwhile, armed with some knowledge, you can do it yourself.
One of the important issues to be resolved: "What size should the brazier be?" In this case, it is necessary to take into account not only your idea of its proportions, but also some objective premises.
So, the number of skewers that can be placed on it simultaneously depends on the length of the grill. You can make the brazier as long as you want, but experience suggests that you should not flatter yourself - it's hard to keep track of more than ten kebabs. Therefore, focusing precisely on this maximum number of kebabs, the length of the roasting pan is made no more than 1 meter.
The ideal size of the barbecue is simply determined by the width, usually this figure is the same for all the braziers and is also determined empirically - 30 cm.It is enough to string 6-8 pieces of pickled meat on the skewer, and at the same time they will not touch the heated sides.
Brazier dimensions include another parameter - depth. There are few options here, most users consider the figure 20 cm correct, and this choice is justified by the optimal distance from meat to coal.
For the most part, the size of the barbecue is determined individually, but it is useful to take into account recommendations tested by experience. The most important thing is convenience and functionality during operation.
