Brick grill with stove step by step. When there are no competitors in the kitchen: how to make a brick barbecue with your own hands. Is it necessary to paint the metal corner in the jumpers?

Barbecue - this word has many meanings: a leisure event, a recipe for cooking meat, a sauce for meat, the meat itself, cooked at high temperature, but they all boil down to one thing - the result should be meat cooked over an open fire or hot coals. If there must be an open fire, then this meat will be cooked in nature, that is, the very name “barbecue” suggests relaxation - in the country, in nature, in own garden. Today we will talk about how to build a brick grill with your own hands.

What is barbecue and its benefits

Such a stove is a stationary device, as it is built from brick. Although you can also find portable options from metal elements and details, but, undoubtedly, a brick barbecue oven has a lot of advantages, since:

Externally, a brick barbecue grill looks impressive and complex, but in fact the design is so simple that even a non-professional can make such a grill. And so that you can understand more clearly how to set up a barbecue oven with your own hands, drawings and practical recommendations we will provide in the article below;
The functionality of a stationary barbecue is significantly higher: you can cook barbecue meat, fry shashlik, cook grilled meat and steak, bake flour products, cook meat or fish over an open or closed fire (bake), you can dry fruits, bake vegetables, smoke and dry various products, including mushrooms, etc.;
A brick barbecue is built with a solid rear wall, its purpose is to uniformly redistribute the temperature from burning coals throughout the chamber, as well as to retain heat in it for a long time;
The presence of a chimney pipe frees the cooking area from smoke;
Since firewood or coal is burned in a brick firebox, and not on a steel pallet, as in a portable barbecue, the combustion zone becomes safer, and the outdoor stove itself lasts much longer;
The brick structure retains heat for a very long time, which means that with one kindling and use of the barbecue you can cook several dishes according to different recipes$
If you build a barbecue in a country house or garden house, then it will be possible not only to cook food, but also to heat the room.

There are a huge number of options, designs and designs for barbecue stoves, but structurally they are divided into the following subgroups:

A grill with a grill grate or spit, with an enlarged open firebox, which can also serve as a fireplace in a gazebo or house;
A roaster (oven or oven) similar to a Russian stove, in which you can bake meat, fish, vegetables, or bake bread and pies;
Barbecue grill;
Recessed niche for pots, cauldrons, boilers;
Smoking smoke chamber;
Standard hob;
Various combinations of all these options.

The simplest barbecue oven

This is a U-shaped structure made of red refractory brick with a height of at least 100 cm (see picture below). This oven, like other stationary barbecue structures, is built on a strong concrete foundation.

At a height of 0.75 m from the foundation level there are side brick steps - the bricks are laid perpendicular to the main masonry, and they are needed to install a tray for ignition and combustion of fuel. Higher in brick wall inserted (in advance drilled holes) metal guide rods, which serve to change the height of the pallet in order to maintain a constant and optimal temperature regime cooking meat or other products.

The combustion and cooking chamber is located in a kind of brick casing, which is formed by the side and rear walls of the barbecue, and serves to protect from the wind, as well as to accumulate and retain heat. This barbecue scheme does not have smoke channel and an upper closed vault, which in other designs increase the efficiency of the furnace and its efficiency.

The fuel combustion area must be equipped with fire-resistant bricks and fire-resistant cement mortar, mixed with purified sand in proportions 1:3. You can also use clay in proportions 1:3:3 (cement - sand - clay). The walls of the barbecue grill are made of ordinary red or facing bricks. By adding additional work surfaces, shelves and niches to such a simple barbecue, you can significantly expand the functionality of the structure.

Brick BBQ Blueprints

The dimensions, design and exterior of a brick barbecue depend mainly on the landscape features of the site. Based on the average height of a person during construction, the lattice and work surface arranged at a height of 9-10 bricks. All additional structures and devices must be made removable. A standard barbecue is shown in the drawing - its dimensions are 1500 x 7500 mm, detailed ordering allows construction to begin immediately after the procurement of building materials. If this drawing is too large or small, the scale can be changed while maintaining the proportions.

To build a brick barbecue, you need to prepare fireclay and facing bricks, as well as bulk materials for two types of mortar: clay mortar for the combustion chamber, and cement-sand mortar for the side and rear walls. You will also need:

For the construction of the foundation - crushed stone, sand, cement, reinforcement, formwork material;
Sheet metal for combustion chamber and oven;
Iron doors for the combustion chamber and ash chamber, chimney door (valve), cast iron grates or grate, cast iron hob;
Metal angle or reinforcement bars for the construction of vault floors, hob and other horizontal floors;
Multilayer plywood for the arch, roofing felt or roofing felt;
Concrete mixer or large container for mixing the solution by hand;
Grinder and discs: for cutting brick and metal;
Furnace and rubber (wooden) hammer, trowel, trowel, spatulas different sizes, level and plumb;
Entrenching tool, wooden tamper, buckets for mortar, construction cord and stakes for marking the foundation.

The construction of the foundation begins with digging a trench 0.4-0.5 m deep with arranging a sand-crushed stone cushion at the bottom, which is moistened and compacted. A wooden removable formwork is mounted, into which a simple reinforcement frame or mesh is laid: the rules for making the frame are the same as for building the foundation for a house.

Cement-sand mortar is prepared from bulk materials in the following proportions: 1 part cement, three parts sand, four parts crushed stone or gravel and four parts water. After pouring the solution, it must be covered with polyethylene or roofing felt and left for a week until it gains strength. After 7 days, the foundation is opened, the surface is covered with a layer of waterproofing (or coated with hot tar) along the width of the tape, and the laying of the first row of bricks begins.

Hot zones are laid out with fireclay bricks on clay-sand mortar, the remaining rows are laid out with ordinary bricks and mortar. All bricks must be soaked in water for 24 hours before laying.

First, a niche for fuel is created with a shift of the next row relative to the previous one by half a brick. The height of the stove is 28 bricks, the chimney goes higher. According to the given order, the laying proceeds quickly and without delays, since the diagram for each row is fully working. To ensure minimal shrinkage, a 48-hour break is taken every 6-8 rows.

From the first to the eighth row there is a fuel compartment, in which you can also store kitchen utensils.

The ceilings for the niche arches are lined up after the eighth row. After the ninth row, steel lintels are built in.

By laying out the next two rows (10 and 11), a ceiling and a pedestal are formed, and iron corners or channels are built in for mounting the tabletop.
Firebox

To arrange a semicircular vault, a plywood template is used.

Subsequent rows must be narrowed - from rows 15 to 24 to complete the volume of the combustion chamber. The twenty-fourth row is released by ¼ to separate the border of the firebox from the chimney. The same detail serves as decor, like the release on row 12.

The place on the site has great importance– a smoking barbecue should not disturb either residents or neighbors; the barbecue should be protected at least by trees from wind, sun and rain, therefore the choice of building materials depends on the location, and, accordingly, construction tools. Here are some simple rules:

Between the house and the barbecue there should be optimal minimum distance, since you will have to walk a lot while cooking;
There should be no tall vegetation around the barbecue;
Smoke from the stove should move away from the house, and not towards the house;
It is advisable to select the exterior of the barbecue in accordance with the design of the home and site;
On small area it is recommended to build a small oven, and vice versa;
Bulky brick grill with several working areas installed on a concrete foundation.

People's craving for cooking outdoors is ineradicable. There is no need to fight it - you can simply make your desire come true. And a high-quality barbecue oven can be of great help here.

Features and purpose

A barbecue oven is similar in its functions to a cauldron and a barbecue: all three types of hearth allow you to use fire for cooking. Most people can easily distinguish a barbecue, because it is intended strictly for barbecue. The line separating barbecues from outdoor fireplaces is much thinner. But recognizing it will not be difficult, because the fireplace does not have a special grate for the fire mode. It is designed primarily to create a cozy atmosphere, and food processing is a secondary function for it.

Any barbecue project should involve rational removal of the stove from residential and outbuildings. Not only does it create a significant fire hazard, but it can also constantly create smoke around, and this is unlikely to please even the most ascetic and patient people. The barbecue is designed as carefully as possible, taking care of the convenience of visiting the house. At any moment you may need to return there to take various products, clothes or dishes.

You should carefully and thoughtfully select the material for manufacturing: it must be very durable, prevent fire, and not be destroyed by the elements.

Varieties

The literal translation of barbecue from English is open fire. The hemispherical cauldron that appeared in the 20th century gave this type of fireplace a new impetus. The furnace complex can be presented in different variations:

Disposable. Made from thin tin. Coal is placed in the pan and covered with a grate on top.
Mobile. It is a kind of suitcase that can be easily moved into Right place. Ideal for lovers of picnics and barbecues on the street.
Boiler. American in origin. It is equipped with a dome-shaped lid, when closed, the structure resembles an oven (you can cook a lot of meat at once).
Cart. The mechanism is quite complex, the working part is folding or fixed in some variations.
Stationary. Most often it is made of brick and is complemented by a large table for guests.

In addition to the simplest barbecues running on coals, there are other options. Working for natural gas The stove is often used in cafes and other establishments of this type. At dachas, such structures are additionally used as a grill; you can often find cases where they are built into garden elements. Electrical products are compact in size and can be placed on the most ordinary tables. But even if we talk about street fireplaces (open hearths) of the usual type, they can be represented by far more than just basic solutions.

Quite often, an extended open firebox is used, which is needed as a fireplace in the garden or gazebo, and the addition of a grate or spit allows you to cook meat very tasty. A Russian oven can also be used as a barbecue, in the fire chamber of which baked goods, a smokehouse and even a hob are excellent. A stationary barbecue can be varied within a fairly wide range: it is placed both at ground level and slightly above or below it. The choice of a square or round configuration depends entirely on the will of the owners. The only constant requirement is to cover the area around the fireplace with fireproof material.

Where to place it?

Gazebos and terraces are considered the most suitable for installing barbecues, thanks to which you can be outside regardless of weather conditions. An equally important factor is compatibility with other parts of the landscape, because the stove should harmoniously complement the composition of the dacha or garden area, and not get out of it. When the yard is covered with brick, it is advisable to install a stove made of a similar material. It is advisable to think about the location of the barbecue at the stage of thinking through the landscape as a whole.

The ideal barbecue area should be removed not only from the house and outbuildings, but also from any bush, tree, fence and other flammable structures. At the same time, you should think about protecting your home from smoke, and about paving the lawn or lawn (if the stove is installed there). A very important detail is high-quality lighting, because holidays and just friendly gatherings tend to drag on until the evening and even late at night...

Stationary structures are installed taking into account one more consideration - ease of use. “Convenience” cannot be described by any one standard; it is largely a subjective matter. But it is recommended to bring paths to the barbecue area; if the garden or dacha is already equipped, you will have to choose among the places where they go. It happens that on the site there is not a single building with a roof, except for the house, then the place is chosen based on the amount of space available for installing a dining group. In addition, during installation, it is advisable to maintain a certain distance from neighbors’ plots, regardless of whether home-made or factory-made stoves are used.

Manufacturing materials

Even the most good project and a carefully thought-out arrangement will not allow you to achieve the optimal result if you do not carefully approach the choice construction materials. In most cases, they use various types bricks Please note that the back wall heats up to high temperatures, so in this case it is better to use fire brick instead of simple option. The foundation is often made of marble or granite, which can withstand significant loads well.

Outdoor brick fireplaces are constructed primarily from fireclay bricks of a universal profile. Of the brands on the market, the best results are demonstrated by ША and ШБ, which can easily withstand heating up to 1650 degrees. If speak about natural materials, then when creating furnaces it is recommended to use:

basalt;
limestone;
dolomite.

In addition to construction materials, you need to take care of preparing connecting solutions. Cement and sand are used to produce them, and red clay is used to lay fireclay bricks. It is poured with the volume of water provided for by the technology and left alone for 5-6 days, after which it is mixed until homogeneous mass. Sifted sand (relatively little) and a small portion of M200 cement complete the process of preparing the composition.

It is not at all necessary to build a barbecue from natural stone or bricks. Metal structures also perform well. Cast iron products are especially widely used: when using them, the risk of soot formation is minimal. In the internal volume of the furnace, heat is distributed perfectly evenly and remains for a long time - even the best varieties have become incapable of doing this. The disadvantage of cast iron is the heaviness of the fireplace, but if it is installed permanently, this circumstance can be neglected.

In home-made conditions, it is easy to make an impromptu barbecue from a gas cylinder. Compared to this solution, even the most simple designs industrial production are prohibitively expensive. By strictly following the procedure, even people who are not very experienced in working with metal will get an excellent result. Consumers can put exactly the functionality they need into a device and not pay for useless add-ons. And one more thing: structures based on a gas cylinder are quite mobile.

Since these containers are made to be as durable as possible in production, there is no reason to fear their unreliability. The bottom will not burn, and after finishing cooking the meat, you just need to close the lid - there is no need to pour in or put out the fire. Important: before starting work, you will have to release all the remaining gas that remains after using the cylinder.

This type of barbecue also has several disadvantages:

without heat resistant paint aesthetic properties deteriorate;
the product turns out to be very heavy;
you will need solid experience working with welding equipment (if you are unsure of the result, it is better to buy a ready-made structure).

Step-by-step production

Drawings and diagrams of barbecues should reflect not only their size and type of materials used, but also the order in which the bricks are laid out. It is important to immediately determine the design features of the structure: pay attention to the arrangement of shelves and wood niches, to stands for prepared dishes. It is recommended to reflect in the drawings the type of roof and the level of the grate mounted above the brazier, as well as the placement of the sink.

When building a barbecue with your own hands, it is advisable to focus on the following dimensions:

height – up to 180 cm;
pedestal – up to 80, maximum – up to 90 cm;
roasting pan height - 50-70 cm;
The width of the oven interior is up to 50 cm.

The barbecue is laid on a concrete base. Most often it is represented by a reinforced slab. The thickness of the structure is 0.3 m. Additionally, it is recommended to place a pair of precisely cut sheets of roofing material under this base: they will perform the task of waterproofing the foundation from below. To remove chamfers from bricks, tile cutters with diamond discs are used, and for cutting blocks, angle grinders with diamond discs are used. The initial row (platform) must be laid out in ½ brick, and the second line is laid out from whole blocks.

The chimney can be made not only from brick, but also from metal. Additional material savings will be achieved by eliminating brick tables. To build a stove correctly, you need to indicate in the drawing what the layer-by-layer structure of the structure will be (how best to lay it out in rows). General rule It’s like this: a pair of longitudinally oriented blocks is placed on a lower brick directed along it. The chimney is most often made by the users themselves, using steel structures or fire-resistant bricks.

Construction of a barbecue oven at a country house or suburban area will allow you to get numerous benefits of cooking delicious dishes of both Caucasian and Russian cuisine right in the open air.

You can not only prepare lunches and dinners, but also invite friends to picnics and birthday celebrations, organize various events right on your site, which will undoubtedly allow relatives and friends to remember the evening for a long time. But you should understand that building a barbecue oven on the street is a very difficult task, which requires not only certain skills, knowledge of the types of brickwork, but also the ability to build a foundation.

The word “barbecue” itself is of English origin, and means a device in which you can build a fire, used for cooking meat and other dishes in nature. Barbecue also refers to the actual method of preparing food. The unusual translation of the word from English is that its meaning implies “barbarism.”

The stove is built from ordinary red brick, but with independent design and layout you can give it an unusual, unique look.

In various encyclopedic reference books and construction manuals, this oven is positioned as a special device intended for culinary purposes, which is of an open type, used without the use of an open flame, and also allows air to circulate naturally.

There are some differences in a barbecue oven and a barbecue oven, even though both devices were created by cavemen in ancient times. The first difference concerns the area of use - in the Alps the device is called a barbecue, and in the Caucasus it is called a barbecue. However, both options involve an oven in which meat is cooked by baking it on hot coals, in particular, on the heat coming from them.

During the cooking process, due to uniform heating on all sides, the heat emanating from the oven walls improves. infrared radiation. You can cook either using skewers or on a grill specially designed for culinary purposes. The second difference in ovens is gastronomy, since cooking on a grill is done from above, skewers are placed on the walls of the device.

The barbecue has a recess into which skewers or a grill are inserted. Meat prepared in this way has slightly different taste properties. The recess in the barbecue is designed in such a way that food is placed on a side that is about 20 centimeters high.

And although the difference between the ovens is not striking, there are significant differences in the taste of the prepared dishes. When cooking meat or vegetables on the grill, they are exposed to heat, but not smoke. The smoke is swept away by the cook's movements. The rim located in the barbecue, on the contrary, is designed to hold even the smallest smoke. Due to this, some smoking of the product occurs.

Among other things, this side helps to retain a pillow of hot air, due to which meat or vegetables receive a very appetizing crust, but the product itself remains intact and not burnt. The crust not only gives the dish a different taste and appearance, but also in some way changes the physical chemistry of the cooking process.

This is expressed in the process of protein denaturation, which is inherent in almost all products. When cooking on a grill, the place only has a thermal effect on the protein, in contrast to which cooking on a barbecue allows you to retain the necessary moisture in each piece of food, this is how not only baking occurs, but also boiling of food.

Cooking meat on a barbecue allows you to make it tasty regardless of the initial state of the product, however, in order for it to have a rich taste when cooking on a barbecue, you must choose only fresh meat, with a minimum amount of films and veins, otherwise it is almost impossible to chew it normally later. If you cook even old beef in a barbecue, the meat will turn out juicy and tender. If you cook homemade sausage or frankfurters on the grill, there is a risk that they will simply burst from the heat. When fried in a barbecue, they become smoked and acquire a light, pleasant taste. To prepare flatbreads, you need an oven called a tandoor. It is widespread in the Caucasus.

Caucasian cuisine is very diverse and tasty. Cooking of all kinds of kebabs from beef, lamb, and even chicken is carried out on a grill, which has a special design that makes it look like a Celtic hearth and barbecue.

The popularity of barbecue arose not only because of the special taste of the dishes, but also because cooking in it itself is a whole ritual. A barbecue cannot be built from stones and foil; it must certainly be built in the courtyard of a house using bricks and cement. This is to some extent more troublesome and more expensive, but the result is worth the effort and money. A country barbecue will give the house and yard a more solid look and will allow you to equip perfect place for relaxation, both with family and company. A barbecue will look natural both in the courtyard of an ordinary dacha and on the site of a luxurious estate.

No one will refuse deliciously cooked meat, mushrooms and vegetables. The benefits of barbecuing in your own backyard are quite obvious. You can gather company at any convenient time, and cook if you wish delicious dishes even on ordinary days for your family. Some may even start a home business - making and selling homemade sausage, beloved by many. Soaked and smoked with smoke, it will receive an unusual, bright and pleasant taste.

1. Dimensions of the structure

To determine the dimensions for the stove, you should look through several already completed projects. However, there are standard oven sizes that are recommended to be taken into account during construction. All figures are given in centimeters:

The height of the foundation is 70-90.
The height of the furnace walls is 170-180.
The height of the grill equipment is 50-70.
The thickness of the table cover is 7.
Tabletop width - 45-50.

When constructing a barbecue drawing, you should make separate calculations for the foundation. This is a mandatory condition because brick building is quite heavy. It is best to build a foundation on a strip foundation buried approximately 30 centimeters into the ground. A very deep foundation for a barbecue is not needed, the only thing you should pay attention to is that it must be stable, be on a flat surface and support the weight of the stove.

Examples of our barbecue projects

You should also pay attention to the calculation of a special hole for logs, a niche with a tap, a place for a bucket and shelves for storing coals.

All dimensions chosen for the furnace must be included in the drawing, since this is what the builder will be guided by when erecting the structure. It is not recommended to start working on the stove without a drawing for the reason that you can forget and confuse the dimensions, as a result of which the structure will turn out to be fragile and unreliable.

It should also be noted that there are several main types of barbecue oven models:

A simple brick oven is the most easy option for a craftsman, but not a professional in the construction industry. Assembling such a stove is not at all difficult; in the end, the finished structure should take the shape of the letter P.
A barbecue with a roof and a chimney is somewhat more difficult to build, but dishes cooked in such an oven will delight everyone. Among the main advantages of this design is the ability to cook food even in the rain.
Barbecue complex. As a rule, it is purchased already assembled in a specialized store and installed in the selected location. Such a stove, in particular its installation, has many advantages: it does not require pouring a foundation or carrying out facing work. Installation occurs quickly, also reducing the time spent waiting for the foundation to dry.
Stove and gazebo. Owners of large plots often want to create a place to relax in the backyard, and a gazebo, in addition to the stove itself, is an excellent option. It allows you to install garden table with chairs and not be afraid of snow or rain.
You can combine barbecue and grill. This will allow you to cook more dishes at once.
You can also add a separate smokehouse. Such a stove has three floors, the last of which is the smokehouse itself. A grille and hanger should be installed in the compartment to make it more convenient to use.

2. Required space for building a barbecue

There are no clear instructions regarding space, for the reason that everyone decides for themselves where and how to place the stove. You can build a small oven for occasional barbecuing, or you can plan a larger project.

In many ways, the volume of space depends on the owners' expectations for design and functionality. To build a furnace that is planned for long-term use, it is recommended to use the following equipment:

Drovnitsa.
Small shelf.
Small shelf for storing spices.
Hearth.
Tabletop.
Hood.
Shelf for storing kitchen utensils.
Washing.

If there is a water supply on the site, by connecting it to the stove you can equip an entire kitchen corner.

Also, before construction, in the process of drawing up a drawing, you should accurately determine the following parameters, which can be either standard or individual:

The location of the stove in the yard relative to the house.
Accessible barbecue from the kitchen.
General style of the house.
Oven dimensions.
The presence or absence of a gazebo.
Finding trees or wooden sheds near the selected location.
Proximity to the power line for the possibility of supplying light to the gazebo, if it is not supplied throughout the entire area.

Also, the size of the stove should be coordinated with the height of the person who will most often cook on it. He should not experience any inconvenience.

3. Choosing a place to build a barbecue

Before starting construction, you should draw up detailed plan and outline the stages. With its help, you can monitor the needs of home owners regarding construction. Someone needs summer cuisine, and for some, a barbecue area will become a place of entertainment and relaxation. Having chosen the type and size of the furnace, you should decide on the location where the construction will take place.

Special attention safety should be paid to: the barbecue should be located at a comparative distance from trees with low branches. You can simply cut down the excess branches so that they do not catch fire from the fire in the stove.

You should also monitor the main wind direction in the area. In no case should it blow in the direction of the intended place for building the stove, otherwise the fire will die out, or an increase in draft will occur in the chimney, which will make the barbecue stove similar in quality to a regular barbecue.

When choosing a place for a barbecue, you should calculate everything in such a way that not only the stove itself fits, but also the table, and also that there is some space between them. The cook must be able to step away from the hot stove while still keeping the cooking visible.

Regardless of the type of brick, the masonry will become very hot. However, an ordinary brick can burst from the heat, making the stove dangerous to use. It is best to use fire bricks and mark some space next to the barbecue. It is strictly forbidden to build a stove in excessive proximity to the house, flower beds, or slides.

For safety reasons, the back wall of the oven should be left uncovered. However, due to the fact that it cannot be decorated, some people build a double-sided barbecue.

When placing a stove in a clearing, you should prepare for the destruction of flowers and grass growing on it from heat and trampling. If possible, the barbecue should be located in a part of the area where there is least vegetation. However, extremes are unnecessary - there must be free space around the stove.

Another point that can overshadow cooking in a barbecue is neighbors who are dissatisfied with soot and smoke. This problem should be anticipated at the construction stage and efforts should be made to avoid inconvenient placement.

4. Materials required for building a barbecue

To build a barbecue with your own hands, you may need the following materials:

Fire brick.
Several bags of concrete powder.
Remains of iron and wire for the foundation.
Boards for securing the tabletop.
Boards for placing formwork.
Ruberoid.
Metal pipe of medium thickness.
Ordinary brick.
Rubber hose.
Sink and faucet, preferably made of stainless material.

The exact amount of material depends on the selected furnace design: type of masonry and dimensions. If desired, you can place not one, but two cutting tables and build a gazebo. But you can also build just one stove, no frills.

5. Tools needed to build a barbecue

To build a stove with your own hands, you will need tools such as:

Building level for measuring the levelness of the site.
A wide shovel for digging the ground under the foundation.
Strong thread for marking the territory.
Wedges.
A basin or bucket for mixing cement.
Master OK.

6. Selection of materials

Particular attention should be paid to the selection and purchase of several types of bricks for construction, which will be needed in two types: fire-resistant and facing. You can purchase models in different colors to give the building a designer look.

You can mix types of bricks with each other, only taking into account the fact that each of the elements performs a specific function. So, to fill the foundation, it is necessary to use durable, fire- and water-resistant material. Granite or marble is best; you can use them to decorate the stove. However, in places of the highest temperature, fireclay should be used - a special type of facing brick.

You should choose the ShB or ShA brand, which are best suited for the construction of an outdoor stove. Their peculiarity is that they can withstand extremely high temperatures and not burst. Limestone, basalts and dolomite can also be used.

The main emphasis when choosing a material should be on its fire resistance and strength. A stove built from high-quality bricks will last a very long time.

7. Clay solution

Not only the brick is used for the construction of the furnace, the clay mortar is also of great importance. To make it, you need to buy cement, sand and red clay. Using this solution, fireclay bricks are laid.

The clay is filled with some water. For mixing, it is recommended to use a bucket or basin, which you won’t mind throwing away later. After all manipulations, you should wait 6 days, then mix the resulting mixture with purified sand and cement number 200. Then the mixture is thoroughly mixed and becomes ready for use.

8. Step-by-step technique for building a barbecue oven

The construction plan will be discussed using the example of a compact barbecue oven.

Direct steps in constructing the furnace 4:

Drawing a drawing and choosing a design.
Preparation.
Construction of a barbecue.
Covering with tiles, tiles or stones.

When drawing a drawing, you should take into account the preferences of the owners of the house, select your favorite photos of the barbecue and calculate required height countertops.

The preparatory stage includes marking the territory and pouring the foundation.

The construction itself involves the construction of walls, a furnace bottom, and pipes. If you plan to build a shed, it is also carried out at this stage while the stove is drying.

Decorating the stove is done last. When covering with tiles, you should alternate rows 1-1 with bricks. If the design was chosen with stones or tiles, then you can completely cover the entire lower part of the barbecue.

9. Laying the foundation

Given the fact that total weight A self-built stove will not be too large; care should be taken to ensure the strength of the foundation. An excellent option is strip foundation, which is poured to a shallow depth.

First of all, you should draw boundaries on the selected area using ordinary rope and pegs. This is necessary for convenience further work with a foundation. Then a hole is dug in the marked area, 30 centimeters deep. You should move a little away from the boundaries of the pit and leave a margin of 5 centimeters on each side. The depth must be the same throughout the entire perimeter of the pit.

After the excavation is completed, the pit is filled with slag material once and then compacted very carefully. The use of slag is strictly mandatory.

Then the formwork is made. For this purpose, boards are prepared from boards having a width of 30 centimeters and a length equal to the length of the trench. They are installed over the entire area of the foundation, both inside and outside. The entire structure is covered with reinforcement. You can use pieces of wire and metal lying around. These debris should be positioned so that they do not extend beyond the pit.

After this, grade 100 concrete is mixed. To save money, you can make it yourself, but construction stores also sell ready mix. The formwork is completely filled with concrete.

The concrete pouring is complete, but it must be allowed to completely harden for about three weeks.

10. “Oven Leg”

Two or three days after pouring the concrete, when it has not yet hardened completely, the formwork must be removed. After complete hardening, the process of laying out the oven itself begins.

It is necessary to mark a small indent equal to the width of five fingers and draw it from the base to the edge. Bricks are laid out in checkerboard pattern, which will make the structure more reliable.

As a result, eight layers of brick should be laid. Standard parameters The brick “legs” are:

Half a meter wide and deep.
A little over half a meter in height.

If desired, you can designate a different height by adding one or two more layers of brick. Most importantly, it is necessary to adjust the size of the oven to the person who will cook on it. This is a basic safety requirement and will also allow for more efficient use of the building.

11. Bottom of the firebox

Next you need to start forming the firebox bottom. It may be concrete. Standard size- 0.8 meters. Just like when pouring a foundation, formwork is required. It is installed along the “leg”. To make it easier to remove the boards, they can be fastened with self-tapping screws.

The reinforcement is laid out according to the already known principle. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that not only the void inside the “leg”, but also the tabletop should be filled with concrete. This will strengthen the stove, the bottom of which should be significantly heavier than the top. After removing the formwork, you should also wait for the solution to dry.

After this, another layer of ordinary brick is laid around the perimeter of the building, and the center should be lined with fireproof brick.

12. Firebox walls

Please note that the front side of the firebox must remain empty. Eight rows of bricks are used to build the walls. Particular attention should be paid to the fastenings of the grill and skewers. If desired, you can mount them into the wall.

14. Chimney roof

At the corners of the chimney, columns should be formed from the remaining brick pieces. A concrete slab about 5 centimeters high is placed on them.

When building a barbecue oven, you should follow stages and be careful. Errors, if they occur, are better to correct immediately than to wait for dire consequences. After securing the structure, you can begin pleasant chores: finishing with plaster, furnishings and building a canopy.

15. BBQ and gazebo

A gazebo is a necessary attribute. After all, the weather does not coordinate its schedule with the owners of the house and often creates unpleasant surprises. Building a gazebo with your own hands is not difficult. The design should be designed in such a way that there is no need to raise the pipe at the barbecue.

If it is impossible to move the gazebo away, then smoke outlets should be installed between the slopes of the gazebo roof. However, you will have to regularly clean off the accumulated soot.

The best option is to build a stove with a mouth facing the gazebo or a gazebo with an open roof. In case of rain, you can purchase a tension awning.

16. BBQ finishing

Tiles are most often used for finishing because they can withstand high temperatures well. Attaching them is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. You need to use the following equipment: tiles or other finishing material, for example, stone or tiles, a solution for gluing the selected finishing element, a mortar for plaster and a mesh with medium windows.

Finishing is carried out even before the construction of the furnace is completed, namely, at the stage of the last lining of the structure with bricks. The tiles are attached through each other according to the scheme - brick - tiles - brick. WITH inside the part is lubricated with glue and pressed tightly. It's the same with stones and tiles, the only difference is the glue. If desired, you can cover the entire lower part of the stove with stones without alternating with brickwork. The main thing is to ensure that the stones are of good quality.

17. Final work

Every owner country house Anyone who decides to build a barbecue wants the stove to be reliable and durable. Much attention is paid to its design, which is often selected in accordance with the appearance of the house. An unusual oven model can be built just by alternating different types bricks.

You can also use stones or ceramic tiles. You can also look for decorative plaster on sale.

A budget option is regular plaster and painting it with heat-resistant paint. The process consists of the following steps:

Heating the oven.
Surface cleaning.
Attaching a metal mesh.
Applying the plaster solution in two layers.
Grouting plaster.

If desired, the stove can be given a solid look using tiles. They have many advantages:

High heat resistance.
Easy to clean.
Smoke resistance.

Tiles are installed in alternation with bricks, after which the cladding is done. It takes place in several stages:

Wetting parts in water.
Sorting parts.
Lay out in a row, starting from the corner.
Lining with thick mortar.
Fastening each tile with pins.

Before the beginning construction work you should think about whether it’s realistic to do them yourself, whether you have enough construction skills and knowledge. If something doesn’t work out, it’s better to entrust the work to a master.

18. BBQ oven capabilities

There are a large number of ways to cook barbecue dishes, but frying meat and vegetables is most often used. You can also smoke fish and homemade sausage, bake and steam. However, traditionally barbecue is used to prepare delicious shish kebab.

19. Precautions

It is necessary to remember the basic safety requirements and strictly follow them.

Basic safety rules for using a barbecue oven:

Do not use gasoline or other products not intended for direct use in the oven, flammable substances.
Do not impregnate the heating material - firewood and coal - with a special product containing flammable substances; they should only be watered with it.
Only proven materials should be used for the firebox.
If you use firewood obtained from unknown trees, as well as from those that are obviously not intended for heating and cooking, you can even get poisoned. It is recommended to read the firewood directory and select several suitable options. For example, you can use dried birch firewood, which gives dishes an unusual aroma.

The process of preparing shish kebab on a regular iron grill is well known to everyone. But in windy weather or during sudden rain, frying meat becomes problematic, if not impossible. It is much more convenient to make shish kebab or barbecue on a stationary brick grill located under a canopy. In this case, sudden vagaries of weather will not ruin your plans. This material will tell you how to make an outdoor grill out of brick with your own hands.

Schemes of stationary brick grills

Differences between fireplaces located in the open air and traditional ones brick kilns are as follows:

grill or barbecue is built with the purpose of creating comfortable conditions cooking various dishes in the open air;
the design of an outdoor barbecue is much simpler, and the requirements for materials are not so high;
Almost every homeowner can build a simple brick outdoor stove at home or in the country;
The dimensions and arrangement of the barbecue are chosen arbitrarily depending on the wishes and capabilities of the home owners.

All these features, plus the construction of a foundation in the yard, somewhat simplify the work of laying barbecues; it is a little more difficult to build outdoor garden stoves. The latter are small oven complexes where you can not only fry shish kebab, but also cook a variety of food. But first, we will look at the simplest version of a stationary barbecue, which does not even require a solution.

The structure shown in the photo can be erected in literally half an hour on any flat surface. To stack 4 supports, any brick will do, as long as it is level. The height of the supports is arbitrary, depending on your height, so that you can cook comfortably. Then a slab is placed on top, preferably made of a fire-resistant material, such as concrete or mineralite. Next, a bottom made of red brick (can be hollow) is laid, and then the walls are erected using conventional technology with ligation.

This design is good because it does not require mortar, is quickly erected and transported from place to place. In addition, the height and dimensions of the barbecue are at your discretion, but within reasonable limits so that the structure is stable. Do not forget to install a metal brazier on the brick bottom, and make small cracks in the masonry for air access.

This kind of small barbecue can also be built on mortar by attaching a metal smoke collector in the form of an umbrella on top. Thanks to this, the smoke during cooking will not dissipate in different directions and get into your face. Below is a diagram of a brick grill covered with a concrete slab and an exhaust hood:

There is only one difficulty in constructing this structure - pouring a concrete slab. But if there is household small scraps of plywood or OSB, and wooden blocks, the issue is resolved fairly quickly. The racks are made from the bars, and the formwork panels are made from plywood. To prevent milk from leaking out of the concrete and the plywood from getting wet, the inside of the formwork must be covered with plastic film before pouring. There you need to place a mesh of reinforcement with a diameter of 10-12 mm. The figure shows a diagram of the formwork and the order of the barbecue:

The smoke collector is made of galvanized roofing steel and is attached to the top of the barbecue. It is not recommended to light a fire directly on a concrete slab; it is better to use a metal brazier for this purpose.

Outdoor stove complexes

The next option is a barbecue oven with a chimney and additional cabinets for kitchen utensils. The mouth of the firebox and the openings for the cabinets are designed with arched vaults, the firewood niche has a conventional ceiling made of bricks laid on steel corners. Below are drawings for a brick barbecue and the order for its construction:

As can be seen from the orders, inner part The firebox is made of fireclay bricks, which means it does not require a separate brazier. The height of the chimney is arbitrary, depending on the location of the stove and the height of the canopy above it.

The last option we want to present is a more complex outdoor stove for a summer cottage. This will require some experience and knowledge of the furnace business. The oven is intended not only for cooking kebabs, but also for cooking food, since it is equipped hob. In this case, the installation of an outdoor stove provides for smoke circulation and requires more materials and accessories:

solid ceramic brick – 450 pcs.;
red hollow brick – 180 pcs.;
fireclay brick – 201 pcs.;
cement grade 400 – 200 kg;
fireclay clay – 40 kg;
sand – 0.1 m3;
corner 40 x 40 mm – 4 m;
cast iron plate 710 x 410 mm;
firebox door 410 x 410 mm – 1 pc.;
valve – 1 pc.;
cleaning door 140 x 140 mm – 1 pc.

Here, too, the internal parts of the furnace exposed to open flames or high temperatures are lined with fireclay bricks. You need to begin preparation and construction by studying the drawing of a brick barbecue, which shows sections of the stove and its order:

Necessary materials for construction

In our case, the main thing building material is a brick. During construction simple barbecues the requirements for it are low. The chamber where it is planned to place the brazier should be made of red ceramic bricks, maybe even hollow. As for the lower supporting part, the choice of material here is entirely at your discretion and capabilities. The task of this part is to support the structure; it is not exposed to high temperatures, which means it can be made of any suitable material.

If a simple outdoor brick grill, made by yourself, has an unsightly appearance, then it can always be plastered or covered with inexpensive porcelain stoneware, but only after the masonry mortar has completely dried.

Another thing is brick outdoor ovens. Here you must follow all the rules of stove art and use high-quality material. For construction you will need solid red brick without cracks or damage, the same applies to fireclay stone. The solution should be used only sand-clay in proportions 1: 1, and for fire-resistant masonry - a solution of fireclay clay. Such building mixtures are commercially available in dry form.

Advice. For laying simple barbecues, 20% M400 cement can be added to the sand-clay mortar for strength.

Any garden stove or barbecue is installed on a solid foundation, so you need to stock up on sand, cement and crushed stone to build the foundation. Don’t forget about the tools needed for masonry work, and for arched vaults you will need special templates - circles. They can be cut from drywall.

Laying the foundation

Construction of the foundation is a rather complex matter and requires geological exploration of the soil composition. But the construction of a fireplace in the yard should be approached a little more simply and at lower costs. The universal recipe is reinforced concrete slab. Its filling is performed in the following sequence:

dig a hole 30 cm deep and 10-20 cm larger in size than the future stationary grill;
compact the bottom and cover it with crushed stone to a depth of 15 cm;
install formwork protruding 10 cm above ground level;
cover the pit together with the formwork with plastic film;
tie a mesh of reinforcement with a diameter of 12-14 mm with cells 150 x 150 mm. Place it at the bottom of the pit on top of the film, placing supports;
prepare concrete in the proportions of 1 part cement / 3 parts sand / 7 parts medium or fine crushed stone and place it in the formwork;
After setting, cover the slab with film and wait 28 days until completely hardened.

Before making a barbecue, the surface of the foundation must be covered with 2 layers of roofing material, ensuring waterproofing of the structure.

The simplest brick barbecues for a summer residence are built in compliance with the usual rules for laying stones with bandaging and alignment to level and plumb. Here it is important to prepare a good solution from sifted sand and clay so that there are no pebbles in it. The thickness of the masonry seam clay solution observed within 5 mm, on cement - up to 10 mm.

Advice. The lower supporting parts of the barbecue can be laid on a cement-sand mortar with a small addition of clay for plasticity.

More stringent rules apply if you need to build a brick barbecue in the form of a yard stove complex:

each brick is soaked for 2-3 minutes in a bucket of water;
fireclay and ordinary masonry do not tie together;
bricks are adjusted and trimmed as a result of fitting. To do this, the row must first be laid out without mortar;
the horizontal and vertical of the structure is checked after laying each row of stones.

Advice. If you want to build a barbecue out of brick with a decorative slot-like seam, you must not reach the mortar to the front side of the stone during laying.

In order to better understand the sequence of actions, we offer as an example step-by-step instruction for laying a brick barbecue grill with cabinets for kitchen utensils. The previous section shows its procedures (Option 3) that must be followed. So, the order of masonry is as follows:

from the 1st row to the 8th, the walls of cabinets and a wood niche are erected;
9th row: using templates, the arches of red brick cabinets are laid out, steel corners are placed above the firewood;
10th row: the ceiling of the wood niche is formed from fireproof stones, cut to 18 cm and placed on edge;
11th and 12th rows: all niches are overlapped, while along the entire perimeter the bricks are released outward by a quarter;
Along the 15th row, a firebox made of fireclay bricks is laid out. The circle is cut out and installed to form the arch;
Along the 20th row, outer walls and a firebox are erected. An arched vault is laid out from fireclay stones, cut “to a wedge”;
from the 20th to the 24th row, the bricks are cut so as to gradually move to the chimney cross-section;
all the stones of the 24th row are projected out a quarter, then the construction of the chimney follows.

As a result, we get this nice structure:

Conclusion

If you choose barbecues for a dacha or home of a simple design, then their construction will not be difficult. As for outdoor stoves, you will have to spend time and effort, but the result looks much better and more practical.

Once upon a time, outdoor fireplaces were considered an item of luxury and wealth, but now they are a fairly common thing in any country house or at the dacha. They are functional and designed for a comfortable stay and cooking.

It doesn’t take much effort to purchase an outdoor fireplace, and you can also try making it yourself. You just need to get the necessary drawings and decide on the details of the construction.

Types of outdoor fireplaces

Of course, there are many options for an outdoor fireplace that you can build on your own plot of land. Therefore, we will now take a look at some of them.

Russian stove

She reminds her appearance an ordinary Russian stove, only it is located not in the house, but on the street outside it. The only difference will be that it has insulated side walls, which reduce the consumption of firewood when cooking. The oven also retains heat well, so you can cook various dishes in it, from barbecue to homemade soup.

Stove-grill

This is a kind of reduced Russian stove. Suitable for preparing any dishes. It has the ability to fry, stew, bake, simmer and even smoke. It is important that for smoking you will need to leave several coals in the firebox, adding dry sawdust to them. A good option for an outdoor fireplace for those who like to cook on fire.

Tandoor, or Asian oven

The main profile of this stove is cooking meat. On such a fireplace you can grill large shish kebab, whole carcasses, poultry and game. Additionally, there is the possibility of smoking products using cold and hot methods. The only thing a tandoor is not suitable for is preparing culinary pastries.

Smokehouse

A separate type of barbecues and fireplaces, which is designed specifically for cold and hot smoking. It has two chambers, a firebox and a chimney. The principle of operation is quite simple. Wood burns in the firebox and produces smoke, which enters the smoking chamber and exits through the chimney. This is a hot smoked option. For cold, you will need to install a cast iron or steel container filled with sawdust above the firebox.

BBQ oven

Mainly intended for cooking barbecue, or dishes that are cooked on the grill or griddle. In such an outdoor fireplace you can quickly cook fish, chicken and meat dishes. To ensure even cooking, you will need to constantly turn the meat. Remember that the barbecue oven is not suitable for cooking oriental dishes.

Classic outdoor fireplace

It can be equipped with a stand for skewers, as well as a barbecue grill. An excellent option for preparing both meat and fish dishes. By the way, it’s not at all difficult to build such a fireplace outdoors; you can do it yourself.

Important points when installing a fireplace outdoors

To ensure that your outdoor fireplace is safe for you and your neighbors, consider the following points for its installation:

Building an outdoor fireplace with your own hands: step-by-step instructions

Basically, most often they install or build an ordinary classic outdoor fireplace. To build it, we first need to decide where exactly it will be located, and also find a layout of the structure.

Stages of work

The first and most basic task will be to make a good and solid foundation for our object. This is very important, because the entire future structure will rest on it.

So, let's get to work.

Basis of design

Laying an outdoor fireplace

The second stage after we have made a solid base will be laying bricks. The main thing here is to adhere to the basic rules in construction.

At this stage, it is worth taking into account the fact that our structure will come into contact with fire, and therefore must withstand high temperatures. Therefore, it is worth adding a little clay and fireclay powder to the solution (about 10% of the total mass). It is these materials that will provide the required heat resistance, and our stove will not fall apart. By the way, in places most elevated temperature It is recommended to use heat-resistant bricks.

Progress

Chimney for outdoor fireplace

Practically final stage There will be a chimney installed on our fireplace. It is needed to remove smoke and ensure air circulation.

For outdoor fireplaces it is best to use the option modular chimney. It is easy to install and will ensure the removal of exhaust gases.

You can buy such a design, because it is freely available. It has the necessary insulation, and even a person without experience can install it, following the instructions. The main thing is to adhere to these principles:

Finishing work

Well, our design is ready and all that remains is to make it look beautiful. For finishing works For an outdoor fireplace, you can use tiles or plaster. Additionally, decorate it with a pattern or any other design elements.

As you can see, it is quite possible to build a fireplace outdoors with your own hands. The main thing is to adhere to certain rules in installation and construction. After all the work is completed, you will be able to organize delicious barbecues and kebabs at home.
