Barbecue masonry drawing. DIY brick grill, photos, diagrams. Pros and cons of brick barbecues

The dream of every summer resident is to build a gazebo on his property, and install in it a beautiful stove with many functions, such as a barbecue, a brazier, a stove, an oven and others. And I want it and at the same time I’m scared. What if it doesn't work out. In fact, there is nothing complicated here. The most important condition is that you have a passionate desire to build a barbecue oven and the availability of the necessary building material to build this oven.

Any work begins with a project. The easiest thing is to sit down yourself and draw out the order of your future masterpiece on a piece of notebook paper. There is nothing complicated here. The most important thing is to remember a few main conditions:

1. The height of the combustion chamber is 4 rows of masonry.
2. The height of the grill is 3 rows of masonry.
3. The height of the fireplace is 6 rows of masonry.
4. The casing in which the chimneys are combined occupies three rows of masonry in height.

In addition, the barbecue is installed outdoors, which means there is no need to monitor the correct passage of the chimneys for better heat transfer. It is enough to simply remove the exhaust gases into the pipe. And straighten all chimney passages as much as possible.

The photo above is what we must build as a result of our actions. And the beginning of these actions was once outlined on a piece of paper.

Preparation of materials

The barbecue oven will be located on the street, albeit under a roof, but, nevertheless, it is precisely this fact that makes it necessary to use a brick of a grade no lower than M-250 during its construction. The fact is that sometimes these devices are operated at air temperatures below – 25 degrees, and this is a gigantic “physical stress” for brick structures - rapid heating and then rapid cooling.

The total quantity of this brick, taking into account pipe laying, is 1500 pcs. Fireclay (fireproof) brick is required for use when laying fireboxes and in other places where there is contact with flames from burning wood. This brick can withstand a combustion temperature of 1000 degrees, and an ordinary brick no more than 450 degrees. By the way, you yourself can determine the heating temperature of the body by the color of the heated surface, and decide which brick to use. If the iron bar located at the top point of the flame turns dark red - the temperature is 350 0C, Red - 400 0C, if its color is bright red - 450 - 500 0C, if red turns into white shade– 550 and above. Usually this color occurs when air is forced to be pumped into the furnaces of melting crucibles, and if it is dazzling white - 700 0C and above.

As can be seen from these data, ordinary brick will not survive in the furnace for more than several seasons, and if the stove is laid out on the street, then even less. We will use as a solution aqueous solution two types of stove mixture - normal for laying walls and fire-resistant for laying fireboxes, barbecues and fireplace walls.

Lay out the barbecue oven

The entire area of ​​the outdoor gazebo will be located on a monolithic concrete slab, reinforced with reinforcing bars. Therefore, it makes no sense to lay out an additional foundation. All we need to do is spread a sheet of roofing material folded in half across the width for waterproofing and start laying.

The linear dimensions of the barbecue are 250 cm long and 80 cm wide.

We lay out the starting row in order to identify deviations in the horizontality of the future furnace design. In the second row we correct errors by leveling with a solution, and in the third row we plan to lay ash pans for the combustion chambers of both the cooking plate and the cauldron.

Furnace work is a rather dirty process, so everything consumables We keep them on special pallets.

For normal provision The masonry process requires the mandatory availability of water, the required amount of oven mixture and a mandatory supply of electricity to turn on the electrical appliances necessary for carrying out construction work.

We will fix the barbecue fittings using oven fastening tape, by laying them in the masonry and securing them with self-tapping screws.

The ash door is installed in place, the bottom row of strips is laid in order, the top row is straightened and will now be secured.

Simple but very effective method fixing the tape in the masonry. The next rad will fall “in a run-up” and the seam will be covered by the middle of the brick of the next row and the self-tapping screw will be securely pressed into the masonry.

We decided not to make the sides of the barbecue rectangular. They look much more impressive if they are rounded. This process is quite messy, so it is advisable to do it before starting work, having prepared in advance required quantity bricks - blanks for corners and other decorative elements.

Pay attention to the corners of the stove - they are lined with rolled ceramic bricks, and to the organization of the ash pan. The corners of the brick are cut at an angle of 45 degrees. This greatly simplifies the natural shedding of ash into the ash pan.

All bricks are cut to size using a ceramic cutting wheel using a grinder, but under no circumstances are they chipped with a pick.

The right ash pan for the combustion chamber is ready. There is a queue for his twin brother - the ash pit for the firebox under the cauldron.

In parallel with the ash pans, niches are laid out for storing firewood and for storing working tools for servicing the barbecue. To make it more decorative, we decided to push ¼ of the brick out.

The grate will be laid on two metal corners placed in grooves - in the front in the masonry seam, and in the back in a special slot.

Shrinkage of bricks is carried out only with a rubber mallet. This tool does not damage the masonry and at the same time gently sets the brick in place.

Please note air gap between fireclay and ceramic bricks in the masonry of the combustion chamber. This place is intended for basalt cardboard and reliable thermal insulation against overheating of ceramic bricks. The thickness of basalt cardboard must be at least 5 mm.

We place the basalt cardboard in the groove and then put the grate in place.

The basalt cardboard should be equal in height to the height of the combustion chamber, therefore, so that it does not interfere with the process of raising the walls of the firebox, we slightly press it outward. There is a very high probability of crushing it. Then it will lose its thermal protective properties and will not perform its intended functions.

Next to the firebox for the cauldron we will install a special chamber for obtaining coals for the barbecue. It's iron homemade box into which logs are placed, set on fire and the firebox door restricts the access of air to them, and thus in a simple way producing coals both for the barbecue and for cooking on the cauldron firebox.

The chamber for receiving coal is being fitted.

All doors in the barbecue can be opened with the left hand. Because the right one is much more convenient to use a poker and a scoop. If you are left-handed, then think about this little thing in advance, which can then grow into big problems.

A metal box for coals must be wrapped in basalt cardboard to protect ceramic bricks from contact with it during its operation.

When laying fittings, be sure to measure its verticality using a special building level For furnace work. He has magnetic properties and is attached to iron surfaces, thereby freeing your hands from having to hold it.

The cauldron that we are going to use for preparing various oriental dishes has a volume of 22 liters. It is very large in diameter, so we did not find a ready-made slab with such an opening for it and decided to make the slab ourselves. We took as the surface metal sheet 10 mm thick, marked it, found the middle and drew a circle with a compass. The easiest way to cut steel of this thickness is using an autogen. To do this, we simply went to an auto repair shop that does body and tin work, and there, in 20 minutes, they cut a hole to our size in the center, as well as along the perimeter of the sheet.

The hob under the cauldron is ready and will withstand all cooking incidents. There is a huge disadvantage - excessively large mass.

It is necessary to install such a massive thing only on masonry that has already set, and as further actions showed, premature operations with its installation led to redoing part of the barbecue masonry.

Let's start laying the firebox for the hob

The main task is to lay fireclay bricks in the internal space of the combustion chamber. In order not to reduce the volume of the firebox, I recommend installing fire brick on the edge. This way it will be used less interior space fireboxes and thereby speed up the cooking process.

It started to rain outside, and we covered the newly laid furnace masonry.

We install the door on the firebox and fasten it according to the same principle as the door of the blower, only we do not use twisted wire, but screw the stove fastening tape onto the 8-mm turnkey bolts. I especially recommend doing this procedure for upper mounts doors. They are the ones who experience very high heating temperatures when wood burns.

Despite the desire to quickly complete the construction of a barbecue oven, it is better not to work in the dark. The flaws in the masonry order are not visible.

The next day we began installing the ceiling over the woodshed and a place for tools. If this part of the furnace does not experience thermal loads, then the most best option– this is to use paired metal corners with a cross section of 50 mm. This width allows you to lay the brick so that it protrudes above the edge of the corner and thereby ensures the ability to lay the brick without defects.

We lay the corners so that vertical racks there was an overlap of at least 5 cm on the masonry at each corner.

A prerequisite for paired corners is to grab them by welding to each other. During periods of ground movement, there is a possibility that concrete slab can “play” and if the corners are not stuck to each other, then part of the overlap may move out of place, but part will remain. The first row of masonry rests on one corner, the second and third rows rest on two corners, and the last row, just like the first, only on one corner.

It is necessary to adjust the total length of the rows for the ceiling so that the bricks do not protrude beyond the edges of the ceiling. The easiest way to cut the length of a brick is using a cutting wheel. In addition, the outer row of bricks will protrude ¼ of the way, forming a decorative protrusion.

After the ceiling is laid out, we proceed to forming the “hearth” of the barbecue and laying the corner base under the slab for the cauldron.

We lay out “UNDER” the grill using fireclay bricks. Look at the left side of the photo. On the bricks, grooves were drawn with a construction pencil for laying the slab for the cauldron.

We lay the bricks for the slab dry, after marking out the place for the groove, remove them and use a cutting wheel to make a groove 15 mm deep. 10 mm is required for planting a metal plate and 5 mm is required for laying basalt cardboard. After the bricks for the slab are prepared, we lay them on the mortar, lay the basalt cardboard and then, together with a partner, lay the slab itself. Carefully press the slab into the groove with a rubber mallet.

Laying the slab in the groove. It is necessary to lay down with the utmost care, the masonry has not yet set.

We install the cauldron, check the tightness of the installation and then “dry” lay out a row of bricks on the right edge of the slab. We measure the required length of the brick cut for the row. Only after this we lay the row on the solution.

After this procedure is completed, we proceed to laying the back wall of the barbecue. She plays two roles. The first is to impart lateral rigidity to the entire structure, and it is also a kind of screen from prying eyes from the street.

In the same way as we laid the stove for the cauldron, we lay out the hob in the same way.

We raise the walls of the grill. Its width is 30 cm. There will be no open flame, only coals, so it is enough to lay out the “under” of fireclay bricks, and raise the walls from ordinary ceramic bricks. At the same time we lay out the base of the fireplace. All chimneys run along the back wall of the barbecue; it is above the fireplace that they converge into one chimney.

We lay out the “UNDER” and the walls of the fireplace from fireclay bricks, there will be open flame, so this part of the barbecue cannot be made of ceramic bricks.

We lay out the inner walls of the fireplace, placing the brick on edge. The masonry mortar must be made only from a special thermal mixture that can withstand temperature changes.

All wall defects can be corrected directly during the masonry process, but done with the utmost care.

A fireplace cover can be made using metal corner. And then make a strapping for strength.

Do not forget the rule - be sure to lay basalt cardboard between fireclay and ceramic bricks. This prerequisite longevity of the fireplace.

The fireplace has no upper vault. Its role is played by the masonry tapering on each row (1/4 brick minus). Also, behind the third row of fireclay bricks, chimneys emerge from below and then the air flow goes into the pipe.

The finished barbecue oven is pictured at the beginning of the article. It turned out beautiful and functional!

Have land plot for a dacha outside the city is a natural desire of city dwellers. Our own vegetables and fruits, fresh air and an active lifestyle are now in short supply. Even on a bare plot, while there is no house, you can arrange something for yourself, including a simple outdoor oven made of brick, and only later it is worth thinking about more serious models of a roaster with canopies and roofs.

Purpose

Outdoor country stoves are designed to provide owners with something to cook food on. Even if they go to a “house in the village” for two days off, they will need to eat more than once. You can also heat water for washing or showering on the stove. A simple stove in the country is also useful for keeping warm in cool weather or drying clothes.

But a barbecue oven is not just a means for heating dinner, frying potatoes or boiling water - it is already a device with several functions.

In such an oven you can perform the following actions:

• Boil water, cook soups and porridges - that is, everything that is done in a basic outdoor oven. You can cook in any weather, whereas you won’t be able to cook in the simplest open stove in the rain: it will flood the fire, and with it the pot of food.
• Soar.
• Fry. For example, shish kebab or barbecue on coals or wood.
• Smoking meat, fish or lard.

To create coziness, you can build a canopy over the stove - it will not only cover a person from the rain while cooking, but also save him from the sun on a hot day.

Peculiarities

A feature of the device with a barbecue, which distinguishes it from simple oven options, is its versatility. Independence from the weather can be attributed to the design features - the hearths (fireboxes) of such a device are hidden and resemble fireplaces.

TO design features refers to the size of models reaching several meters in length(most simple model with two fireboxes - at least 2.5 m). Furnace height in compact version from two fireboxes together with the chimney reaches 3 m or even more. Therefore, the barbecue stove must be installed on a strong reinforced concrete foundation.

Types of structures

Under open air When a summer cottage is being arranged, it is enough to install the simplest version of an outdoor barbecue. This brick device, 5 or 6 rows high, two and a half bricks wide and four bricks long, is a temporary structure. It weighs little, so no foundation is required. For such a stove, you should find a flat area with dry soil (but not sand), compact it to good density and lay it out brick walls without any binding materials.

You can place a thin reinforced concrete or cast iron slab on the bottom of the resulting oven. Air will flow to the fire through leaks brickwork. The fireplace is located inside; kebab sticks are placed on top directly on the walls of the masonry or on the barbecue grill. Cooking possible on the grill simple dishes in a frying pan or in a saucepan. It is advisable to build a canopy over such a device to protect the fryer from precipitation and wind.

Often at dachas they organize street cast iron stoves with a roof. The roof is built after the “cast iron” with a pipe is installed. If you do the opposite, you will either have to cut through the roof for the pipe, or run the pipe around the canopy (with elbows). This remark is true for any stove devices in rooms or sheds.

The most popular among summer residents are the designs of barbecues in gazebos. Some of these ideas may be of interest to most summer residents.

• Prefabricated furnace complex. Suitable for gazebos large sizes with perspective winter accommodation at the dacha. The complex includes a stove, barbecue and auxiliary devices: a countertop, a sink, built-in compartments for firewood or coal, shelves for utensils and accessories for frying, cooking, as well as a corner for placing fireplace accessories. A unique oven, a tandoor, is sometimes introduced into the complex. Using such a device, you can bake not only delicious Asian flatbreads - it can replace a barbecue, kebab grill, and even a smokehouse.

• Stove-grill with the design and functions of a Russian stove. A very complex design that only a professional stove maker can complete. It is best to arrange it in a permanent building with good foundation and a reliable roof.
• An expensive stove model with three fireboxes. This device is compact two-level option, characterized by convenience and practicality. Suitable for spacious and high gazebos. It combines options for cooking stoves with fireboxes of various functions: barbecue and smokehouse, barbecue and smokehouse, barbecue and Pompeian oven (pizza oven).

• The factory-assembled metal model is inexpensive. It can be used both permanently in gazebos and portablely on outdoors. When these stoves are used indoors only, they are often lined with brick for safety and a beautiful design.
• Fireplaces have the same device, like furnace fireboxes, but they have a different purpose. Fireplace stove models are a good solution for combining the functions of cooking and heating a room. Such models with a chimney exist only for outdoor gazebos closed type. For open gazebos and terraces, these devices are impractical - the heat from the fireplace will not be retained in windy weather.

Models of ready-made ovens with barbecues have different solutions– they can be street, garden, with or without awnings. You can also find options with chimneys different designs, with and without pipes, expensive and budget. But if the owner has the hands and the material, then equipping his dacha with a beautiful and convenient stove device will not be difficult.

Manufacturing materials

For making a temporary barbecue oven on a dense and level plot of land open type will require the following material:

• refractory (kiln) bricks – 50 pcs.;
• barbecue grill;
• cast iron sheet measuring 100x70 cm for the base of the fireplace (a thin-walled, but strong, reinforced concrete slab is also suitable).

Instead of constructing a fireplace on the ground, some specialists raise 4 columns of sand-lime brick in the form of columns several rows high, lay a cast iron or reinforced concrete base sheet on them and lay out a stove on this sheet.

It’s more convenient to work with such a barbecue - you don’t need to bend when lighting a fire, and coal or firewood can be kept under the stove itself (between the columns).

For serious multifunctional stove complexes, the following materials will be required:

• refractory bricks for laying high-temperature elements of the complex (furnaces and nearby structures);
• red brick of good firing for laying out less hot elements of the furnace;
• fireclay bricks for laying some internal parts devices;
• reinforced concrete slabs for frame structures, partitions, shelves;
• cast iron hob for cooking stove;
• cast iron grates;
• steel or cast iron vent doors complete with frames;

• oven glue;
• mixtures of clay and cement for preparing masonry mortar;
• knitting wire for laying out walls and partitions;
• a set of materials for constructing a foundation for the complex.

Another owner will not think about this yet full list required material and decides to buy ready-made option, with which you will also have to tinker a lot. But there will be less headaches from inevitable surprises in the process installation work using the data collected in different places furnace elements, construction and consumable materials.

Accommodation

If you decide to install a barbecue stove on your site, then regardless of the type of stove you choose, first of all you need to think about fire safety– the place of its installation. It should be understood that any device with an open flame, if neglected in its placement and rules of use, threatens serious burns, large fires, which result in harm to human health (often fatal), surrounding buildings and nature.

It is safest to place a resting place with a barbecue on an area that is located at a considerable distance from the main buildings (country house, outbuildings, premises with animals and birds). But this is not always convenient, especially for an open street brazier and those models that are under a roof, but do not have electricity, running water and other amenities of civilization.

Gazebos with barbecues can be placed on the same foundation as the house and under the same roof. But in this case, you must adhere to all requirements fire safety for buildings and residential premises.

• near the storage area for firewood, hay, lumber and their waste;
• near dry grass, fire hazardous debris;
• close to fences and walls;
• directly under trees and overhanging branches.

When installing a collapsible barbecue in the garden or outdoors, you need to take into account the wind speed and direction. Smoke should not go towards neighboring buildings and houses, and in cases of installing a stationary outdoor barbecue (including in a gazebo), you should take an interest in the local “wind rose” and build a protective screen on the side of the most possible “wind blower”. Special portable ones are available for sale. protective screens, which is the best option to solve the wind direction problem.

You also need to take care of the convenience of using the stove in the selected location of the site.

The following questions must be addressed here:

• a free approach to the device from at least two sides, because it is always more convenient and fun to cook with an assistant;
• there should be space for a table and seats nearby;
• possibility of providing a recreation area clean water and lighting;
• Convenient access to the place from the house.

The following points should also be considered:

• how much time is expected to be spent at the dacha (this means constantly or only in the summer) - the installation of the stove indoors or in an open gazebo depends on this;
• how many people the recreation area is designed for;
• what design to choose for the barbecue area and gazebo.

Each owner will probably have a lot of questions about the design and selection of stoves, but they can already be solved in the process of creating the interior.

Style and design

Zone summer kitchen with barbecue and cooking oven It is better to equip the dacha taking into account the already established natural landscape. Even a beautiful hedge with trees nearby can be a great starting point for stylish design recreation areas.

For many country house associated with cooking kebabs or barbecues. AND necessary element this process considered a barbecue. And preparing meat dishes will be doubly enjoyable if you make a roasting pan for them yourself.

Grill on summer cottage– this is the key to a successful holiday with barbecue. For this reason, most summer residents want such a device for cooking on their territory. Some people prefer the store-bought version, but making one yourself always makes the owner of a country estate proud.

The smokehouse for cooking barbecue performs several functions simultaneously:

• used to decorate the landscape;
• is considered an important assistant when you need to feed many people at the same time, since a homemade invention has a larger surface area than a purchased version.

Besides the fact that the grill self made performs important functions and is characterized by: strength, less sensitivity to weather conditions and individual appearance.

In order to build such a device, a pair of skilled hands and materials are enough. Even someone who has no experience in this matter can cope with this task. On the Internet you can find many training videos that describe in detail each stage of production. In addition, there are many ready-made drawings from which you can build a high-quality barbecue yourself.

Drawings

If you do not study the drawings for building a brick barbecue, the process of building it will be more problematic and complex. The finished diagrams describe in detail all the parameters of the future product:

• height;
• width;
• the total area it will occupy.

For beginners, building a barbecue using drawings is much easier, since they show all the elements it contains.

There are cases when people want to build a summer complex, the basis of which will include a barbecue. They consist of a countertop, a place to store firewood, a firebox and other elements that can be useful in preparing food.

If the master already has experience in this matter, then he can independently develop a drawing based on existing ones. In this case, the scheme will be unique. It will become a decoration for a summer cottage or a country complex.

But there are general instructions that must be followed in order to obtain quality product. Step by step instructions useful in that they help build the work process correctly. In this matter, it is very important to do everything one by one and on time.

Step by step instructions

On the first preparatory stage most important point is the choice of the place where the roasting pan will be located for preparing barbecue. It is necessary that the place is chosen correctly and does not disturb others. To do this, it is recommended to listen to the following tips:

• It is worth remembering that the structure is an object with an increased fire hazard. For this reason, it is better to place the grill away from the house, outbuildings and other objects that can easily catch fire.
• The brazier should not be located far from the resting place, as this may cause some inconvenience. Ideally, it would be to place a barbecue near the gazebo where the holidays are held, or near the summer kitchen. To create more comfortable conditions you can build a wide canopy that will simultaneously cover the brick from the rain, and at the same time the benches and table will also be protected.

• It is recommended to set up an area that was intended exclusively for the barbecue and all auxiliary equipment. It is not recommended to have flower beds or beds near this area. High temperatures can cause all plants to disappear. You should consider how to conveniently approach this area, namely, make paths to it.
• You should not place trash cans or a toilet area near the fryer, as this will not look aesthetically pleasing.

The next stage is to select the material from which the barbecue grill will actually be constructed. In our case it is a brick. It is best that it is heat-resistant and does not collapse. This material is fireclay brick. It is also known as “stove”.

In order for the structure to be strong, the masonry mortar must be made of clay and sand.

Advice

To ensure that the structure can be used for several decades, it is worth choosing quality brick. This material is its basis. In the case of high-quality material, you can cook shish kebab on a brazier for many years.

In order for the outdoor grill to be strong, it is worth paying attention to its base. That is, you need to prepare building materials for its construction.

The following materials will be required for the foundation :

• Crushed stone.
• Stones.
• Cement.
• Plywood or boards (for formwork).
• Sand.
• Fittings.

Also, you need to purchase tools that will be needed during construction.

These include the following copies:

• Bucket.
• Shovel.
• A trough for mixing cement (you can use a concrete mixer).
• Trowel.
• Circular saw.
• Level.

It is recommended to develop a project for the construction of a barbecue. You can take a project that has already been developed by someone. In this case, the work will be easier. And also, it will help to calculate required quantity materials. A small supply is acceptable, but large surpluses are neither profitable nor useful.

The next step is pouring the foundation. This stage is considered basic, since further construction depends on the foundation. The foundation is necessary only for a stationary type of barbecue. For a portable product, this process is not necessary. After the foundation has hardened and is ready for further work, brick laying is carried out.

Advice

Before starting to lay brick, it is recommended to water it with water. After 24 hours have passed, you can begin the process. You can also dip it in water for a few seconds just before laying it. This is done for the purpose of better adhesion to the clay.

The procedure for laying bricks should be carried out according to a ready-made scheme. When you want to develop a diagram yourself, it is better to do it on a piece of paper in a box.

It is better to start laying bricks from the corner and move towards the central part. It is important to periodically check the grill with a level and plumb line. This will allow you to detect inaccuracies and correct them in the future.

After this, you need to start laying the central part of the product, namely the firebox.

It can be pre-cast from concrete, or it can be made from brick.

If the grill will also serve as a barbecue, then at this stage you need to decide where the grate will be installed. It is installed on reinforcement bars that are located in the walls of the product. In order to be able to change the levels of the grid, several protrusions can be made.

After this, wind walls and a smoke collector are constructed, which are attached to the columns and gradually decrease in diameter. Some schemes do not provide for the construction of a smoke isolation pipe.

As a result of this sequence of steps, you will get the simplest barbecue. To protect it from precipitation, you can install a metal canopy over it.

The final stage of building a barbecue is finishing and a canopy.

The canopy over the product is erected in order to prolong its operation. It can be done in two ways:

• A canopy that exclusively covers the grill itself.
• A canopy that covers the entire area intended for recreation.

In any case, sediment will not get into the fryer. From a design point of view, good option is a canopy over the barbecue.

In order to build a canopy over the entire building, you need to install special concrete bases. They can be made not only of concrete, but of metal or wood.

Advice

If wooden supports are chosen, they need to be coated special means, which will make them heat-resistant. Or install them at a distance of 16 cm from the product.

As for the roof, it can be built from any material. Will fit into general composition a covering made of the same material as the roof of the house.

Outdoor oven

An outdoor stove complements any summer cottage or country house well. It can perform the following functions:

• Cooking.
• Drying mushrooms or fruits.
• Can be used for outdoor canning.

The design of the structure for this structure can be made to fit the interior country house. It can be done with one or several lesions. Can be done with or without doors. This is affected only by the project that was chosen for the construction of this device.

When building an outdoor stove, you need to be guided by the fact that it must meet the following requirements:

• Practicality.
• Safety.
• Functionality.
• Durability.
• Low cost of construction (if your own work is expensive, then it will be more profitable to buy a ready-made option).

In the markets for materials for the construction of an outdoor stove large number, but you need to be guided by the fact that it must be of high quality.

For this you can use the following raw materials:

• Fire-resistant brick and aerated concrete. These materials can withstand high temperatures.
• Metal or cast iron. Most often, finished structures are produced from these raw materials. Its price will not be small.

The choice of material must be approached carefully. Aerated concrete is cheaper, but a brick oven looks much more aesthetically pleasing.

An important issue is the choice of the main location of the outdoor stove. It’s good when the construction of an outdoor product was envisaged at the beginning of construction work on the house. If, however, the decision to build this structure was made later, then you need to be guided by the same rules as the construction of a barbecue.

This rest attribute is done in the following sequence:

• Laying the foundation.
• Laying the base of the furnace.
• Chimney installation.
• Installation of the walls of the gazebo in which the stove will stand, as well as equipment of the adjacent territory.

Outdoor stove cladding

As for the decor of an outdoor stove, there are a large number of options. The product can be finished using a special decorative plaster. It can also be lined. You can use tiles as decoration various designs and design.

There are the following types of simple stove finishing:

• Whitewashing and painting.
• Plaster.

Sequence of actions

• To reduce the roughness of the surface, you need to rub it with brick and then treat it with water.
• We treat the surface with a primer.
• We paint the building. It is better to choose it on an adhesive basis.
• In the case of whitewashing, we skip the previous stage and use lime instead of paint. You can add salt to it. This will help you achieve better results. To add a blue tint, a small amount of blue is added to the lime.
• To ensure that the whitewash is of high quality and lasts a long time, ultramarine or ocher can be added to the lime on the surface.

Before you start building a brick barbecue with your own hands, you should make drawings and use them to calculate the amount of building materials needed. In this case, the scheme must be created independently, since there are no universal barbecue designs.

Drawing up an action plan

During construction, you must follow the general instructions that apply to any type of barbecue:

1. the grill should be made at least 70-80 cm, taking into account the height of the owner;
2. the stove is traditionally located 10 cm below the grill level;
3. a niche for firewood and cabinets, and a hook for tongs should be provided.

In this case, it is necessary to take into account all the small details so that later it will be convenient to use the structure. When the drawings are ready, you should make calculations, draw up an action plan and prepare a list building materials(including for the foundation).

The list of materials for main work should include:

• fireclay and facing bricks;
• clay and ordinary mortar;
• metal rod d-30 mm;
• steel sheet 5 mm;
• doors for the firebox and ash pan;
• grate.

And for arranging the base:

• construction mixture;
• reinforcing bars;
• boards for formwork construction;
• crushed stone and sand.

The construction of the furnace takes place on a slab base, the frame is erected from fireclay bricks. After which it is lined with stone. Granite, sandstone, dolomite, and rubble stone are suitable. You can show your imagination and give the fireplace any fancy shape.

Why brick?

Very often, barbecues and barbecues for dachas are created from scrap materials: barrels and, a little less often, you can see welded structures (from the simplest to artistic casting). It is much less common to make a brick barbecue with your own hands. Many are convinced that they are practically no different from portable structures.

But the heat distribution pattern in brick structures is completely different. The heat from the coals in open barbecues is directed upward, making heat treatment only one side of meat. Therefore, during processing, it is necessary to periodically turn the product over to the other side to ensure uniform frying.

The brick structure of the barbecue acts like an oven, only without the door. Heat, reflected from its inner surface, simultaneously affects the entire surface of the product, ensuring its uniform processing.

This significantly improves the taste of dishes, making them more juicy and tender.

In this regard, the following advantages can be noted brick barbecue compared to a metal grill:

1. uniform processing of food;
2. the ability to build complex structures with an additional cooking surface, smokehouse, grill and sink;
3. a barbecue can be made one of the most attractive parts of the site.

How to make a garden barbecue

Like any other structure, a barbecue for a summer residence is built on a foundation. The pavilion should fit harmoniously into the design of the site. Since such a pavilion will be used year-round, it is better to build garden type hearth.

The construction of the fireplace must comply with basic safety regulations; the chimney must be installed on the roof. The construction of such a structure has a rather complex technology. Externally and functionally, it is a fireplace, which is used to decorate the interior of a dacha.

Thematic material:

A gazebo or pavilion with a fireplace can be styled as a fairy-tale hut for receiving guests or arranged as summer house with kitchen utensils, dining furniture, sofa and TV. If the barbecue is located in a pavilion, it is better to entrust its construction to specialists, but if you have a little experience, you can try to build it yourself.

The basis of the elementary design of a barbecue is a quadrangular frame; coal is placed in it, over which a grate is placed. It is advisable to make a structure such as a fireplace multifunctional: build a firewood rack at the bottom, a dish rack above it, a barbecue itself above it, and a smokehouse can be located above it.

In this case, the structure will be multi-story. You should decide what the design of the future fireplace for the dacha should be, and then make drawings and outline a construction plan.

Barbecue options

When considering brick barbecue projects, sometimes there is a desire to supplement the drawings with your own elements in accordance with personal preferences. Some future owners, when building a brick barbecue with their own hands, equip it with an additional barbecue grill and stove.

Barbecues can be very diverse:

• barbecue fireplace;
• barbecue grill;
• multifunctional building;
• barbecue with one hearth;
• barbecue with grill and cauldron;

Additional accessories for such furnaces are very diverse. For example, oven, spit, tandoor, cauldron and others. Among complex structures There are hand-made and prefabricated ones.

An interesting idea - a complex. Permanent structures can be built as a three-story structure. Semi-finished products are placed in the chamber on grates or suspended. For cold smoking, a brazier with coals and a baking sheet with wood chips are placed inside the chamber, and for hot smoking, logs of the appropriate types of wood are placed in the firebox.

This smokehouse has only one drawback: it strongly absorbs odors. Therefore, if you process meat after fish, it will acquire a specific smell, and sometimes even a taste. In this case, it is better to make this device from iron.

Construction of a brick barbecue

The positive aspects of installing a barbecue stove are its decorative appearance and functionality. It is better to install such a structure not in the open air, but in a pavilion or summer kitchen.

Let's consider step by step plan construction of a barbecue for a summer residence.

Step 1: Arrangement of the foundation

Initially, a site for construction is selected. When placing a barbecue in a building, it is necessary to prepare a foundation for it. Together with it, a base for a barbecue oven is made; it is similar to a slab foundation.

The pit is made 0.3 m larger than the dimensions of the structure, and about a meter deep. The formwork is installed and a sand and gravel “cushion” is laid on its bottom. It is covered with the first layer of mortar (0.2 m), and then steel rods are laid like a lattice. From the end of pouring until the solution completely hardens, 1-3 weeks should pass.

Step 2: Preparation

Before starting construction, you should select building materials for construction. It should be remembered that for the construction of a furnace, two types of bricks are needed: the main refractory one and for cladding. At the same time, only impact-resistant materials are installed in the firebox area. high temperatures fireclay brick, which also has excellent heat-saving qualities and long-term heat transfer. And as a exterior finishing A standard refractory grade of brick is acceptable.

Step 3: Construction

In the construction of the structure, an ordering scheme is used (see below). It takes into account the usual brick dimensions - 230*114*65. For the firebox and stove, bricks should be laid only with clay mortar, and in places not in direct contact with fire, ordinary bricks are allowed to be used.

Pre-mixed fireclay mortar requires red clay, cement, sand and water.

Step 4: Firing

After the stove is erected, firewood or coal is placed in the firebox and barbecue and then set on fire. This is necessary for firing the inner surface of the furnace walls. The heat is brought to the maximum possible.

This is one of the most functional stoves for a summer residence. For small areas, a simplified scheme is suitable. Choosing a type garden barbecue it is necessary to take into account all its parameters: functionality, size, location on a summer cottage. For the convenience and durability of the structure, it would be advisable to build a gazebo or pavilion.

Step 5: Drying

After heating the oven, the next step is drying. It should be carried out in the summer in clear weather - at least 5 days, and in the fall in cloudy weather - up to 20 days. In this case, it should be covered from possible rain with a protective film.

The final stage will be decorating the stove. The bricks should be freed from excess mortar and paint should be applied in the right places to highlight the seams. After which the barbecue oven is completely ready for its intended use.

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 it won’t be difficult to recognize it, 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. This is a kind of suitcase that is easy to move to the 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 similar type. At dachas, such structures are additionally used as a grill; you can often find cases when they are built into garden elements. Electrical products are characterized by compact dimensions - they are placed at the most regular 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. No less important factor- 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 bricks, it is advisable to install a stove made of 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, when installing, 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, various types of bricks are used to build a barbecue. It should be noted that back wall heats up to high temperatures, so in this case It's better to use fire bricks instead 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 we talk 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 a homogeneous mass is formed. 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 is retained 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, use tile cutters with diamond blades, and for cutting blocks - an angle grinder with diamond discs. 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 savings material will ensure the abandonment of 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 bricks.
