Braziers produced today are available in such a large assortment that eyes are scattered: forged, metal, brick, of various sizes and shapes. The choice is really great, but it can be done differently. It is within the power of everyone to make braziers with their own hands: one stationary and one folding for going out, for example. A self-made brazier has a number of advantages that are essential for some and useless for others. Do-it-yourself braziers will be made exactly as the owner himself wishes, in addition, this will help save money.
The construction of barbecue facilities is not difficult, and will take only a few days. Before starting construction it is necessary to choose a site on which the brazier will stand. Do not install the structure near flammable objects, as well as near a house or neighbor's fence.
Braziers with their own hands can be made in various designs - brick, metal. So, first things first.
Do-it-yourself BBQ stove made of bricks
If you chose a brick for construction, then it is already clear that the barbecue will be stationary. Work with bricks requires the complexity of the process and greater attention to design features.
Do-it-yourself braziers made of bricks are reliable, strong and durable. For their construction, a special heat-resistant brick is selected. The lathing 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 grill 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 be needed so much, depending on the size of the grill.
After building the foundation, you can proceed with the installation of the structure itself. Braziers are installed in various versions, in this case, the design will include a conventional oven, on which you can cook food. Braziers 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. In design and in form, they can also vary, and therefore you can completely make your own project if you even understand a little about it.
Braziers
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 welding skills, you are able to make a simple barbecue for cooking juicy kebabs for a family holiday. And if there is no such experience, then you can make a design on
bolted joints.With this design, a great role is played by the depth of the barbecue. If it is too small, then the kebab will burn, if 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 mandatory requirement, due to which the correct air flow is ensured.
It’s easier to work with metal, and therefore you can add some decorative elements, which will give the barbecue an unusual look. You can add a small roof to the structure, there is little sense from it, but it looks beautiful.
Among other things, some craftsmen came up with a design that only needs a cylinder (gas). The brazier with your own hands is original and unusual. Of course, this is unsafe, 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!
