Brick brazier is a special brazier for preparing shish kebab, built of brick. A solid brick grill is often more functional and is used as a grill and barbecue; often other dishes are cooked on it, even just to heat up food. This is also an interesting art object on suburban area. It’s nice to gather around such a structure with a large group.
How to choose a place?
- Do not forget that this structure is an object of increased fire hazard. It should not be placed near the house, wood or other flammable outbuildings.
- The building should not be too far from the resting place. The ideal option is near the gazebo or near the summer kitchen. You can put up a wide canopy that will not only protect the brick grill from precipitation, but also cover a couple of benches and a table.
- Be sure to arrange the site. There should be no flower beds or beds nearby, as the grass will simply wither due to high temperatures. You should consider a convenient approach, or better yet several. There should be no toilet or trash containers nearby.
- If the wind constantly blows in one direction, make sure that smoke does not enter the windows of residential buildings.
What is needed for construction?
The best material for construction is fireclay brick (kiln). It can withstand large temperature changes and does not collapse. Use clay and sand as a mortar for masonry. But it requires pre-soaking.
For an outdoor brick grill you will need good foundation, which means it will be necessary building material for the foundation (cement, sand, rubble stone, plywood or formwork boards, reinforcement, stones and crushed stone).
You will also need metal corners, grilles, latches, and a sheet of iron. If you plan to make niches and a work area, you will need a tabletop made of stone; the doors can be made of wood or metal.
Tools needed:
- shovel;
- trowel;
- level;
- buckets for solutions;
- concrete mixer or trough;
- circular saw.
A project must be developed or a ready-made one taken. It is not only convenient to carry out work, but also to calculate required quantity materials. A small supply never hurts, but there is no need for large surpluses.
Pouring the foundation
Stationary barbecue a brick foundation is required:
- It is necessary to dig a hole according to the size of the project.
- Line the bottom of the pit with rubble stone and crushed stone, and install the formwork (it is better to moisten it).
- Next the hole is filled concrete mixture made of cement and sand in a ratio of 1:3, but in layers and laying reinforcing mesh. Under no circumstances should the reinforcement lie at the bottom of the pit. If the pit is small and the walls are smooth, then formwork is not needed.
- The foundation is covered from above with roofing felt or ordinary film.
- When is it worth hot weather, then for uniform drying it is recommended to occasionally spray the base with water. It will take 1-2 weeks for the concrete to set and dry. Brick laying is carried out only after the foundation has completely hardened.
- During this time, you can prepare a clay solution. It is necessary to soak the clay in the tub for a week, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary. Then add sand. A good solution has a consistency similar to thick sour cream; it should be easy to handle and not spread.
- It is easy to check the quality of the solution. To do this, mix a small amount of clay with dry sand. Roll it into a rope with a diameter of 1 cm. It should not lose its shape, crack or spread.
Bricklaying
The order of the brick grill is shown in the following figure. If you want to draw the order yourself, then it is most convenient to do this on a piece of paper in a cage.
The easiest way to lay a brick barbecue is to move each row by half a brick in one direction or the other. Laying the plinth should begin from the corners towards the center along pre-marked lines. Every 3 rows, check the level and plumb line, and also lay down the reinforcing mesh.
The first row of masonry, like the second, is made continuous. The base may have different heights, depending on the project, and several compartments in which it is convenient to store firewood, charcoal, some utensils, etc.
For the brazier, you can use a pre-cast concrete base with reinforcement or lay it out of brick.
If the firebox is planned to be arched, then a circle is used. A gap of 1 cm is left between the bricks. It is best to use wood chips for this. This way you can distribute the bricks evenly. Only after this is the space sprayed with water and filled with solution. The circle is left for 1-2 days.
The firebox is covered on top reinforced concrete beam or an iron corner. Another row of bricks is laid on top of the lintel.
If you plan to use a brick grill as a barbecue, then you need to think in advance about where to install the grate. For this purpose small protrusions are made. The grill itself is placed on reinforcement bars embedded in the walls of the building. You can make several projections to be able to place the grill at different levels.
Next, wind walls are laid and a smoke collector is made. The pipe is attached to supporting columns and gradually narrows. This is the most simple design. And to protect it from precipitation, a metal canopy is installed above it.
IN simple circuits For barbecues made of brick, the pipe may be completely absent, as well as wind walls.
Finishing and canopy
In order for the building to last as long as possible, it is necessary to build a canopy.
It could be:
- general and cover the entire recreation area;
- be located directly above the grill.
For this purpose, under the pillars of the canopy are made concrete bases or attached to the base. The supports can be metal or wood. In the latter case, according to the rules fire safety they must be at least 16 cm away from the structure and treated with special antiseptics.
The roof for the canopy is made from absolutely any material. But if it is combined with the roof of the house and other outbuildings, then the brick grill will harmoniously fit into the overall landscape.
The structure can be left as it is, just by walking a little grinder. Can be coated with special paints for brick ovens. The finishing from decorative stone. You can also use special plaster.
You can also use various decorative elements not only on the grill itself, but also on the doors of built-in cabinets, shelves, etc.
Watch the following video, which clearly shows the process of building a brick grill.
Projects, diagrams and drawings
There are many ready-made projects for brick barbecues, varying in level of complexity, costs and decorative options. You can develop your own drawing based on existing diagrams.
We present a barbecue diagram, according to which it is easy to build a barbecue out of brick with your own hands.
Typically, the height from the ground to the roasting pan is defined as the distance from the level of the hand to the floor. If the owner is tall, then the firebox will be located quite high. The width of the frying pan does not exceed 30 cm, otherwise a standard skewer will simply fall into it. Most often it does not exceed 1 m in length, based on 10 skewers.
You can build a brick grill with your own hands according to the following drawing.
Most people who have summer cottages sooner or later think about building a barbecue on the site. After all, this makes it possible to fry delicious meat, vegetables, fish, which will make your stay on summer cottage much more attractive. You can get together with the whole family, invite friends and have a great time. And how nice it is to leave the bathhouse and treat yourself to fresh, juicy kebab, prepared in exactly this way, so beloved by many.
The grill can be either small in size and simple in design - only for preparing small portions, or much more complex in design. This design can even combine a grill and a cauldron to prepare a wider variety of dishes, as well as larger portions. Includes countertop, firewood storage, sink.
But even such a complex, which includes a street brick grill, you can build it yourself. It is not at all necessary to invite a specialist for this work, because you can do everything yourself. This will save you money and also allow you to make a barbecue in maximum accordance with your desires.
Before starting construction, you can familiarize yourself with various photos barbecues made of brick and decide on the color and design, since it will play an important role in the aesthetics of the building appearance the material used.
Location for barbecue
Since a brick grill is a stationary building, you must initially carefully select the most suitable location for placement. Here you need to take into account the following factors:
- distance from flammable substances and buildings, neighbors’ houses and your own, in order to avoid fire hazards;
- the presence of free territory around the proposed building area, because it is most convenient when both the recreation area (a gazebo or a table with benches, for example) and the cutting surface are nearby. In addition, you may want to make a canopy over the grill;
- the possibility of further provision of light and water supply to the selected location;
- protection from wind blowing.
Next, we will need to decide on a drawing of the brick barbecue that we will build. On the Internet there is a huge number various options buildings. There are simpler ones in design and quicker to manufacture. You don't have to spend a lot of time, effort and finances to build them.
There are also more complex ones. But their advantage is that you can create a truly multifunctional area that will be the pride of your site and a gathering place for the whole family.
You can either take a ready-made one that suits you best in design, size and functionality, or make your own adjustments to the drawing that you like the most.
Step-by-step instructions on how to make a barbecue out of brick with your own hands after choosing the most successful location and drawing includes the mandatory laying of the foundation.
Despite the fact that many consider this item optional, we still insist on doing it. This will make your structure stronger and more durable. Otherwise, there is a high probability that you will have to redo everything literally from scratch.
Installation of the foundation usually occurs in this way: formwork is installed in a hole at least 25 cm deep and poured cement mortar, further in mandatory reinforcing mesh or reinforcement bars are laid. Be sure to wait until the solution has completely hardened. This usually happens within a couple of weeks.
Stages of building a barbecue after laying the foundation
After the cement mortar in the foundation you have made has completely hardened, we recommend trying on the bricks. To do this, you need to lay out the first row of bricks on a dry foundation surface, that is, without using cement mortar.
It will also be useful to outline and record the boundaries of the resulting structure in order to navigate by them in the future. At this stage, you will be able to make an approximate calculation of the material that you will use per row, that is, the number of whole bricks and halves, and also make adjustments to total area barbecue
We also recommend preparing the bricks themselves. It would be a good idea to wet them or even leave them in water overnight. When they are dry on the outside, but still contain moisture on the inside, you can begin to work. This way, your structure will not be destroyed in the future due to the properties of bricks to absorb moisture.
Lay out the bricks, focusing on the line recorded during fitting. Do the laying slowly, carefully pour the mortar between the bricks and tap on top rubber mallet. Carefully remove excess cement mixture, to finished building looked attractive and aesthetically pleasing.
Lay out the second and subsequent rows of bricks in a checkerboard pattern, that is, moving half a brick to the side. Each row should start in a corner. This corner is reinforced with metal wire to strengthen the structure.
We also do not forget that it is periodically necessary to check the plane using a level and plumb line. To avoid distortion of the structure. Don’t forget to leave space for the stove in exact accordance with the drawing you chose.
It should be remembered that when exposed to high temperatures, metal tends to expand. Therefore, a small gap should be provided, which can be laid with an asbestos cord.
In order to securely fix the corners of the base of the barbecue, you can use metal corners or reinforcing bars. It is more reliable and convenient to use the first option; this will avoid future instability of the structure.
Also, do not forget to leave gaps in the side brickwork. There is no need to fill these gaps with cement mortar. You are going to light a fire inside the barbecue, and it is simply impossible to do this without regularly supplied oxygen.
For the sheathing, you can prepare special metal rods, or you can lay bricks in such a way that part will protrude inward. It is on this protruding part that the sheathing will be installed in the future.
After you finish building the main part, you can make a countertop for convenient preparation, cutting and further storage of food. A sink will also come in handy. Install a gazebo or perhaps a large one nearby wooden table and benches.
A self-made grill will not only be a place for preparing delicious and fresh dishes, but also a reason for a man to be proud of a job well done with his own hands.

The debate about who is the founder of barbecue continues to this day. In fact, almost every nation has a culture of cooking open fire or coals. Although the word barbecue itself is of English origin and means an open fire, the stoves on which food is cooked have a lot of varieties and design solutions.
Design selection
On constructive solution The oven is influenced by several factors. A barbecue area at the dacha can be set up with your own hands, but for this you need suitable place. If the area is limited and you plan to fry meat on major holidays, then it is enough to buy or make a metal one. This is the simplest and most affordable solution.
It is much more difficult to build a barbecue in a brick country house with your own hands, plus the cost of construction will be higher than in a portable version. But this design is more functional and durable. Also, do not forget about the aesthetic side of the issue; brick or stone stoves, with the right approach, can become a pearl in the design of your site.
As for stoves that are exotic for our country, such as the eastern tandoor, it is better to entrust the installation of such structures to professionals. The same can be said about the stove complex, when in addition to the barbecue with grill, it is planned to build a smoking compartment, wood stove with oven, washing department, table and firewood storage.
The video in this article shows how to make a simple barbecue.
Choosing a site for construction
Theoretically, 1.5 m² is enough for the simplest barbecue or grill, but cooking on fire is special ritual and the surroundings accompanying this action must also be appropriate.
As a rule, a barbecue area in a dacha is set up with your own hands in places inaccessible to prying eyes. This can be a separate gazebo or a canopy, partially bordering the country houses.
Planning such a complex in the far corner of the garden would not be the right decision. Of course, from a fire safety point of view this will be ideal option, but think about how many times you will have to cross the site while you prepare the feast, and then all this will still need to be cleaned up.
To ensure fire safety, a distance of about 5 m from the fire is sufficient. More often this place for relaxation it is located under a canopy near the kitchen. With this approach, it is much easier to supply water from the house and discharge it into a drainage pit.
Important: the entire furnace complex is being built separately; it should not border on any outbuildings or residential buildings, as this is fraught with a fire.
When starting to build a brick barbecue at your dacha with your own hands, pay attention to studying the wind rose on your site. The stove is installed on the leeward side, because neither you nor your guests or neighbors will like breathing smoke from the fryer.
Undoubtedly, the central place in such a complex. But for convenience, it would be useful to equip a small storage for firewood, some compartments for dishes, a place to store skewers or grill grates. It would also be nice to supply water and equip a cutting table.
Let's talk about construction
When choosing a complex design, it is better to give preference to more open options. There are enough closed spaces in the city, and when you go to the country, you want volume and closeness to nature. It should be noted right away that, without having construction experience, it is quite problematic to build a good indoor pavilion with your own hands. But itself brick barbecue you are quite capable.
Unlike the classic barbecue, the barbecue is a multifunctional structure. The hearth itself is practically no different from a barbecue; it also has rectangular shape and guides for skewers.
But above them, supports for grilling are mounted, sometimes with a spit; a smoking cabinet can be located above them; in addition, a stove and a number of accompanying compartments can be attached, starting with shelves for dishes and ending with a mini-bar. Of course, the number of compartments is selected individually. Such a structure cannot be called light and for its installation you need to lay a foundation.
Laying the foundation
After a worthy place has been chosen and a general sketch of the structure has already been sketched, you can begin laying the foundation. The length and width of the barbecue is calculated individually depending on the size of the firebox and the presence of accompanying structures.
Important: foundation slab or the block must exceed the dimensions of the brickwork, around the perimeter by half a brick.
Pawn load-bearing structure possible in 3 different ways.
The appropriate method should be selected based on data on the composition of the soil, the presence of quicksand and the climate in the region.
- Most quick option This is the use of a ready-made reinforced concrete slab. For this, soil is selected, the depth is determined depending on the thickness of the slab. At the bottom is done sand and gravel cushion 50 mm and after compaction the slab is laid. Although the option is quick, you will need a crane to lay the slab, plus there is a possibility of uneven shrinkage.
- The next option is also a variation slab foundation, but is considered more reliable. The point is that reinforced concrete slab is being established on site. To do this, a pit is made about 350 mm deep and a dense sand and gravel cushion is laid.
After which the formwork is installed, reinforcement cage and concrete is poured. The solution is made with the proportions of concrete grades M200 - M300. - But the most common and reliable is considered to be the usual one. strip foundation. Unlike the construction of houses, here it is done not along a closed contour, but according to the U-shaped principle. The laying is carried out to a depth of up to 50 cm. Next comes the standard instructions, 150 - 200 mm of sand and gravel filling, onto which a reinforced concrete base is poured.
Important: traditionally concrete gains design strength within 28 days.
But according to technology, in the first 10 days it needs to be moistened regularly, otherwise the monolith may crack.
Experts advise covering the foundation with plastic film until it gains strength.
Wall masonry
To build a barbecue at the dacha with your own hands, 2 types of bricks are used. The firebox and that part of the cladding that is in direct contact with high temperatures, laid out from fire bricks. This can be fireclay brick or solid, pre-burnt red brick.
The rest of the structure is made from facing bricks or any block material, up to natural stone. We will consider brickwork, since its installation, in in this case, requires less professional skills.
All bricks are soaked in water immediately before laying.
- When the foundation has settled and gained strength, it should be checked for horizontalness, according to the level. Deviations are eliminated due to the thickness of the mortar when laying the first 2 rows of the base. Before laying begins, the foundation is covered with waterproofing, this can be roofing felt or other rolled material.
Advice: after laying the first 2 rows and clear horizontal alignment, it is better to let the solution set for 3 to 4 days.
This is not necessary, but this will reduce the likelihood of the masonry becoming distorted in the future.
- Traditionally, the height of the firebox is 0.7 - 1 m from the ground. After laying 2 rows of the base, another 5 rows of ordinary brick are laid on them. Next comes the firebox, so the brick must be fireproof. From now on, it is recommended to lay reinforcing wire every 2 rows, copper is better, but you can also use ordinary wire rod with a cross section of 0.6 mm.
- The next, butted row is laid out with refractory bricks across, so as to form an inner side. The bottom of the firebox will be based on it; it can be made of the same refractory brick, but it is faster and easier to use cast iron grates.
- Next, the firebox itself is laid out of 2 rows of refractory bricks and the bonded row of masonry is repeated again. Skewers with meat will be placed on it. If it is difficult for you to lay the bonded rows, then for the guides under the skewers a wide metal strip 5–7 mm thick is suitable, which is laid between the rows, but in this case another row of ordinary masonry is added.
- When the support for the skewers is ready, another row of bricks is laid, after which the stud level of the masonry is repeated again. It is designed to support the grid under the grill.
- It was experimentally proven that for comfortable cooking, the firebox window should have dimensions of about 1 m in width and 70 cm in height. Another 2-3 levels are made above the opening and the pipe can be laid out.
Chimney and auxiliary structures
- The dimensions of the smoke intake are calculated according to GOST standards, which state that per 1 m³ of the firebox there should be 960 cm² of pipe area, plus the height of the chimney, with such data it should be about 12 m. Do not be alarmed, the average volume of the firebox ranges from 0.125 - 0.14 m³, section the pipe for it will be 120 cm², which is 110x120 mm with a pipe height of one and a half meters.
- The chimney cone can be purchased or welded from metal. But if you decide to lay it out of brick, then this should be done with a gradual narrowing. For front and rear walls a quarter of the width of the brick is taken. For the side walls, take half the length of the block. This is how they are gradually brought to the desired section.
- Among the people, the masonry of this kind of structures is done on the basis of clay-sand mortar. But we advise you to use a special fireclay composition for laying stoves. It is sold dry finished form and there are instructions on each package. Cladding is traditionally laid on cement-sand mortar, the best option is sand concrete grade M300.
- After the firebox is ready, you can begin installing auxiliary structures and making it beautiful. As mentioned earlier, the top of the oven is covered with facing bricks, and at the same time a base for the sink and cutting table is erected. The masonry must be tied into a single structure.
- Mounting stops washing bath The easiest way is to make it from a corner measuring 45 - 50 mm, laying it directly into the structure. A table or other horizontal surfaces can be mounted from facing bricks, laying it on metal corner. Or use an asbestos-cement slab, which is tiled for beauty.
The video in this article shows some of the subtleties in building a barbecue.
Conclusion
When you set up a barbecue area at your dacha with your own hands, the warmth of your hands remains in it, and for the rest of their lives your children and grandchildren will remember that it was you who did it. At every feast or simply watching the firewood burn, they will remember you with gratitude.
Included compact corner barbecues may include barbecues for preparing the main dish, firewood sheds for storing lumber near the firebox, storage space for dishes - glasses, cups, salad bowls, a cauldron oven for preparing aromatic fish soup.
In addition, a corner barbecue project may include washing for quick cleaning of the consequences of rest and electric spit for roasting delicious piglets with a crispy crust.
The masonry of a corner stove is usually made of stone or brick. When choosing a finish, your imagination is not limited - it can be marble, decorative brick, tile.
If the owners of the future barbecue have a large budget for creating an oven, it can be equipped electric stove built into the countertop, additional pipes, glass doors on the grill and other interesting accessories.
Do-it-yourself corner barbecues: advantages and features
The main advantage because of which site owners prefer a corner barbecue is its compactness. All components of the structure will be within walking distance, which will reduce cooking time, but will not reduce the pleasure of it. Other benefits include:
- set of projects with great design in style country And classics;
- the shape allows you to build a firewood shed directly next to the firebox.
But brick corner barbecues also have several disadvantages:
- necessity thermal insulation 2 walls, which increases construction costs;
- more complex installation of the structure.
Photo 1. The cook is busy near brick oven barbecue, preparing a dish for two ladies anticipating a treat. For decades now, brick corner barbecue projects have become the choice for hospitable hosts country houses.
When you choose brick corner barbecue designs, pay attention special attention on the ease of performing each element. If you need to hire specialists for the firebox or another part of the furnace, it is better to choose a simpler project. The main difference between stoves is their functionality - choose the ones that fully suit your needs.
Construction of a corner barbecue using the example of a specific project
Before starting to build the stove, you need to choose the ideal location, project with a detailed and clear drawing, purchase necessary materials, think over the number and ways of implementing additional options.
Project selection
Unfortunately, experienced stove makers do not use orders in their work, so online finished projects corner barbecues made of brick are few in number. And yet, if you are planning to build corner barbecue made of brick, drawings and photographs of existing similar structures can be of great help in the formation own idea. Particularly good are drawings that indicate detailed brick laying pattern: When you first build a corner barbecue, ordering helps you get the job done quickly and without the fear of doing something wrong.
Price for individual project may be up to 50 thousand rubles, depending on the design.
Photo 2. Computer model barbecue ovens for a covered gazebo. Although there are few projects for corner barbecues made of brick on the Internet, it is quite possible to develop such a simple design for a future structure yourself.
The main difference between corner barbecues is in the angle of the grill in relation to the countertop and stove. There are projects consisting of a table top and a barbecue, there are more functional options. We will consider the construction of a corner barbecue using an example garden project "Grand Corner"- with hearth, grill and chimney.
Selection of bricks for construction and finishing materials
There are no problems with choosing a brick, since for the construction of a corner barbecue it is permissible to use only red burnt brick. It fits on clay-sand mortar, as in any option for constructing a furnace.
Attention! If you do not buy clay for mortar in hardware store or on the base, it should be checked. This test takes 2-3 days, and the purchased clay can be used to create a solution immediately after purchase.
To test ordinary clay, use a solution with it on 2 bricks. If, after drying for a day, they are held together enough that they can be lifted by one brick, then the solution is diluted in the correct ratio.
To improve the appearance of the barbecue and create coziness on the site, after construction the structure is lined finishing brick or plastered with clay. The seams on the front side of the grill are carefully unstitched.

Estimate of materials for purchase
Calculation required quantity bricks for the construction of the selected masonry option (in rows):
34.5+35.5+11+9+13+25+21+18+16+21+21.5+15+13.5+10.5+10.5+10.5+10+18+ 19+14.5+16.5+17.5+24+26+28.5+21+19+14+16+17 = 546.5 pcs.
This is about brick. But what building materials Will you need more to build a corner barbecue? We list them, indicating the approximate volume required to implement the selected project:
- Red burnt brick 1st grade - 546.5 pcs;
- Cement - 150 kg;
- Sand - 50 kg;
- Water - 17 l;
- Crushed stone - 50 kg;
- Fire door - 1 pc.
- Blower door - 1 pc.;
- Steel sheet 5 mm - 2 pcs.;
- Corner for jumpers - 2 pcs.;
- Rod 230 mm - 5 pcs.
Also check if you have the following tools:
- shovel;
- trowel.
Construction of the foundation
The design of a corner barbecue includes 2-3 parts: firebox And slabs. If the barbecue consists of 3 parts, then 2 parts are placed hobs .
Instructions for building a foundation:
- the boundaries of the future structure are marked;
- being dug up the trench is 5-8 cm wider than the boundaries of the barbecue, the depth is calculated based on the composition of the soil (usually they dig to sand or 90 cm and pour layer of sand 20-25 cm);
- the bottom is covered with crushed stone or fragments of old brick;
- done cement screed from water, cement and sand in the ratio 0,5:0,5:1,5 (the solution should be thin enough to fill all the cracks between the crushed stone);
- leave for a day to dry;
- the surface is leveled, several layers of roofing felt or roofing felt are laid on top to ensure the waterproofness of the foundation.
Brick laying process
Before starting to build the main part of the stove, you need to soak the bricks in water and lay them wet.
The first row is laid with whole bricks on edge and without mortar.
The second row is made of half a brick; the grill will not serve as a heater.
The next row will include gap up to 2 bricks wide For free access oxygen to the firebox through the flood chamber.
Next, after 2-3 rows a hole is made for the convenience of the firebox, the size of which is determined based on personal preference. To avoid problems with cleaning in the future, the hole is made with minimum height 3 bricks and similar width.
The inside of the roasting pan is laid out without channels, using the usual method. It should be provided grate for collecting hot coals, for which they are installed vertically inside the firebox 2 bricks each.
The height of the corner barbecue depends on the height of the person who will cook the food, the size of the gazebo or summer kitchen, if it is decided to build the stove there. Usually this 2—2.5 m, along with the pipe. Hob located at a height of 1.0–1.2 m.
For laying facing bricks, the mortar used to fill the foundation is used. You can plaster a corner barbecue using a clay mortar and bleaching emulsion.
Additional attributes to increase the comfort of using a corner barbecue
Lighting and electricity, as well as other additional attributes are installed after the finishing layer has completely dried. Otherwise, you may accidentally damage structural elements, ruining its appearance.
To quickly and cheaply supply electricity to a gazebo or under a canopy, you need to follow these steps:
- is created wiring diagram- how exactly it will lie on the walls;
- are being done marks in the places where the wires are placed using a marker;
- asbestos sheet cut into strips so that they protrude from the cable at least 50 mm;
- the strips are attached to the canopy or walls of the gazebo, electrical insulating cardboard is placed between the cables;
Attention! When securing the wiring with asbestos sheets, you need to make sure that the cable does not dangle, but is not pressed down either. It is forbidden to drive a nail in the middle of the conductors - this increases the danger of the wiring and accelerates the destruction of the gazebo.
- after connecting the wiring to the outlet and the switch, the electrical network elements are installed according to the manufacturers’ instructions;
- the other end of the wire is connected to the protection and the cable is connected to the network.
The electricity supply is complete, now you can choose lighting fixtures or connect an electric stove built into the countertop. It is advisable to use the knowledge you have just acquired about electrical wiring to supervise the actions of an experienced electrician.
Attention! You should not agree to hidden wiring - it will cost more in terms of time and material costs, and will not particularly affect the appearance.
An ideal place on the site for the construction of a corner barbecue made of bricks
Best to supplement summer kitchen or a gazebo corner barbecue oven- this way the cooking area will be protected from gusts of wind and unexpected precipitation. But it is not necessary to build an additional building - you can arrange a site for installing a barbecue under open air. Her minimum size— 2*3 m.
Each plot has a place where the owners take a break from various activities. This territory is divided into relaxation area with a table, benches, a swing or a hammock, and a work area in which delicious food will be prepared. A corner barbecue oven is most often placed in this part.
It is advisable to complement such a recreation area washbasin And gazebo.
Corner barbecue will become the best option For small area, in one of the corners of which the foundation of the future furnace is poured.
Thanks to the chosen scheme, you can save a seating area or increase the space for installing additional attributes.
A beautiful addition to the corner barbecue stove will be a display working area paving slabs and creating a path to this area from paving stones or stone. Remember, if this is not done, in the summer a path will still appear in its potential place, but from trampled grass.
It is advisable to purchase beautiful street lights For comfortable rest in the evening and at night.
Many throughout working week We look forward to the weekend to go out of town for fishing, to meet with friends or family. Well, what vacation would be complete without cooking over an open fire or coals.
And to prepare them, you can quickly build devices like a barbecue, but still in modern world It is much more convenient to use stationary facilities: barbecue, grill and barbecue.
Especially if you have country house and a small area.
Of course, you can also purchase portable devices, but if the owner is an experienced person in construction matters, then it will not be difficult for him to build his own creation.
As many have already guessed, our article will focus on one of these devices, namely the barbecue.
A little history
There are several options about the origin of the name. But the most truthful is the ancient Greek version, meaning “foreigner.” In our case, this word “barbarus” meant “barbarian”.
Perhaps the very method of cooking food over fires in caves by wild tribes of nomads created such associations. However, all this has successfully taken root in our area and everyone likes it to this day.
But what are the differences between barbecue, grill and barbecue?
A barbecue is a simple structure made of metal or brick, where coals are placed, and skewers or a grate for food are placed on top.
A grill is a structure made primarily of metal with a closing top. The principle of cooking food is the same as on the grill, only with the lid closed. The grill is equipped with a pipe to release smoke.
A barbecue is a brazier, something between a barbecue and a grill. And it reminds me a lot wild conditions roasting meat. Outwardly, it looks like a hearth, open on the front side.
Perhaps the device is not in the form of a hearth, but in the form of a rim around the grate for food, which does not immediately transmit heat to the sides. Varieties of roasting pans are shown in the barbecue photo.
As you can see, all these devices are very similar, and they can be easily converted into each other.

Step-by-step instructions on how to make a barbecue
Brick laying is carried out without the use of cement mortar:
- First, prepare a flat and tightly compacted area, away from trees and dead wood, to avoid fires.
- Then a circle of flat bricks is laid out on this site with 50 mm gaps between them to allow air to pass through. The diameter of the circle must correspond to the size of the sheet and grate so that they cover this well. The diagram shows that one row consists of 12 bricks.
- Next, 4 more rows are laid out in a checkerboard pattern.
- A sheet of metal 2-3 mm thick is placed on top of the fifth; firewood will burn on it, which will turn into coals.
- The next step is to lay 2 more rows of bricks to form the so-called hearth. But in front you need to leave a gap free from bricks. This is a firebox where you need to throw firewood and stir up the coals.
- Now you need to place a grate for frying food on the resulting well.
- We add 2 more on top of the grate brick rows in a circle, but without gaps. The side will fulfill the main idea of the barbecue. If desired, you can leave a gap in the side so that you can turn the food over if necessary.
Such a brazier great option for the summer season.
But, if you are concerned about the integrity of the structure in your absence, the structure can be easily disassembled and placed in the pantry for storage. It won't be difficult to rebuild it.
