Fundamentally

On our site there is a step-by-step instruction on how to create a brick barbecue with your own hands that can help you not only understand this topic, but will also create a barbecue oven with almost zero skills and knowledge in this area.

Drawings

Before starting the basic construction, it is necessary to develop its plan( scheme) in order to avoid flaws and inaccuracies during operation. A universal scheme does not exist, because your barbecue oven is an individual occupation and it is you who must decide the question with its scheme, appearance, etc.

Correctly calculate all the proportions and do not forget to make a place for firewood and coal in the construction plan. The grill should be at a height of 65-70 cm. The oven should be 10 centimeters below the grill.

When the drawings of the brick barbecue are ready, we proceed to the preparatory works, that is, to the foundation.

Foundation

For the construction of a barbecue, an inexpensive and simple monolithic foundation is ideal. On the site of the future construction, it is necessary to dig a trench about 40 cm deep. Next, a mixture of gravel and crushed stone is poured onto the bottom, after which the bottom is poured and rammed.

We install reinforcing bars, we make a frame. Now it remains to make the formwork, after which we pour all the concrete.

Then you need to wait until the foundation has hardened, and then proceed to create the very barbecue oven.

Masonry

For the furnace we use fireclay bricks. It is inexpensive, but sufficiently fire-resistant and sturdy. The facing brick should be chosen based on its strength. Having prepared all the necessary materials( cement, sand and red clay), we begin construction work. Before the creation of the solution, the clay must be poured with water and left for a few days, so it is better to do this before the foundation is created.

Now we create a barbecue oven behind the tier. Also on our site you can see the video and photos of creating a barbecue made of brick by yourself. This will help to avoid mistakes during construction.

We start with the pedestal. Correctly calculate its size and height. It is not recommended to make it above 70 cm. Take into account that during the self-construction of a barbecue made of bricks, the order of bricks does not differ in anything.

After completion of the first row, the second one should start with half of the brick and move the beginning of each next row to half a brick( that is, one-piece brick - half - once again - again half).If you have any difficulties with this, we recommend you look at the article about how to put a brick.

Brazier

Now make the oven. We use fireclay bricks, but keep in mind that the oven should be about 3 bricks in depth and 6 in length. Install the reinforcing bars in the overlapping areas.

Now go to the construction of the pipe. Correctly calculate the entire structure of the furnace before the creation of a barbecue, the scheme will help to avoid unnecessary problems with construction. Nothing complicated this stage is not different, just install the bricks line by tier. Note: To improve traction, it is necessary to make a so-called chimney tooth on the back of the furnace.

In conclusion, take care of the visual part of the barbecue, make the necessary changes, clean the brick from the mortar. Some paint on the brick to emphasize the seams of the solution. This is done to improve the appearance of the barbecue, however the work has already been completed and the barbecue bricks are completely ready for use. Now you can enjoy the long-awaited rest.
