How to lay a brick barbecue with your own hands. How to make a barbecue with your own hands: advice from experienced craftsmen

On summer cottage. As a result, picnics and various gatherings with friends will become much more enjoyable. In addition, such a structure will fit perfectly into any garden interior. Before you get started, you need to read the step-by-step instructions, which will give you an idea of how you can make a brick barbecue with your own hands.

Preparatory stage

On initial stage it is important to make drawings future design. The advantage of a competent drawing is that it will not only allow the owner to do the job correctly, but will also provide the opportunity to calculate the amount of building materials.

Since there is no universal drawing on how to build a barbecue, you can draw it yourself or use the diagrams located at the end of the article.

Nuances of the drawing

The height of the grill must be at least 70 cm. This parameter depends on the individual characteristics of the owner who will cook on it.
The oven must be placed 10 cm below the grill level.
When designing a structure, it is important to take into account all the little details so that later it will be convenient to work. For example, where it will be possible to place tongs and coals.

Choosing a place

In order for a brick barbecue to perfectly harmonize with the interior of the site and be fireproof, it is important to carefully consider the place for its construction.

There should be no dry branches or old trees in the area near the structure that could be subject to fire.
The stove should be located away from outbuildings.
It is important to take into account the direction of the wind during construction - it should not blow towards the buildings located on the site.
It is not recommended to build a stove near playgrounds, greenhouses and gazebos.

Laying the foundation

You can give preference inexpensive option and use a strip monolithic foundation for the barbecue. At the same time, there is no need to deepen it.

Having outlined the boundaries of the structure under construction, you need to dig a trench according to the markings, up to 40 cm deep.
The bottom of the trench is filled with a mixture of sand and crushed stone. It needs to be watered and compacted.
Now you need to lay the reinforcement bars in the form of a grid.
Formwork is manufactured and installed.
Concrete is poured.
All you have to do is wait until the concrete sets.

After the concrete has dried, the foundation must be covered with roofing felt, which will serve as waterproofing.

Construction of the structure

Choosing a brick

Before making such a structure, you should purchase the required quantity of facing and refractory bricks. Among various types Materials should be given preference to fireclay bricks, from which stoves are built. It can withstand high temperatures perfectly.

How to make a solution

Prepare a solution using red clay, sand, water and cement. Required quantity The clay is filled with water in advance and allowed to stand for about five days. Mix the clay with water until it becomes homogeneous. Afterwards you need to pour a little sand and cement into the solution (you can use the M200 brand, at the rate of 1 liter jar per bucket of solution). Mix everything thoroughly.

Clay is an important component when laying fireclay bricks. A solution is made from it. To clad the structure you will need a cement-sand mortar.

To lay a thousand bricks you will need 3 buckets of clay mortar. To increase the strength of the clay, you can add ½ cup of regular salt per glass of the finished mixture. An alternative would be 0.5 kg of cement per bucket of mortar. Ready solution should look like thick homemade sour cream and fit perfectly onto the brick.

Step by step instructions

To understand , how to make a barbecue, you need to follow the recommendations of experts.

We build a pedestal, oven and firebox

Ideally, the pedestal should accommodate a woodpile that would hold enough firewood for at least three fireboxes. For work you will need facing bricks.

After the previous stage of work has been completed, you can begin building the stove. The work is easy to do. It is worth remembering that in conclusion you need to make facing masonry.

It is very important to take breaks every 4 rows so that the walls dry out a little and the brick does not move.

To build an arch, you need to make a template from durable plywood that would support the structure. If you want to build a rectangular opening, place a lintel from the corner on the last row of bricks. Next, the laying is carried out along the entire perimeter. It is important to remember that the vault of the arch must contain a central brick, the function of which is to provide load-bearing capacity designs.

The height of a wall with an arched opening can reach 80 cm.

About the pipe

For construction chimney use fireclay bricks and clay mortar. You need to make a valve inside the pipe. During the process of laying bricks, the sides of the firebox are gradually shortened. For each subsequent row of the back and front walls, the length should be reduced by a quarter of a brick. In this case, the side side is reduced by half the width of the brick. Having formed a pipe, you need to lay it out directly in 12–15 rows.

You need to let the masonry harden. Finally, the barbecue pit is lined.

A metal grill is definitely good. But, in addition to functionality, you also want beauty, especially on the site: in the country or near the house. A brick barbecue gives an attractive look without reducing functionality. There are absolutely simple models, which can be put together, even without skill, in a day or two; there are more complex ones - entire complexes. We don’t recommend building these without experience, but try a simple barbecue oven or just a brick grill. Master masonry and basic techniques, and then you can take on more serious projects.

Barbecue grill - what's the difference?

There is no exact division between grills and barbecues. The main difference is that barbecue is cooked on skewers, while barbecue is cooked on a grill. But both of these cooking methods can be used even over a fire, so - for us, at least - both the grill and the barbecue are one design.

You can also classify by the presence of a roof. A barbecue is always an open device, without a chimney. In barbecues, especially those made of brick, chimneys are often made, although there are also simple open models.

Simple brick grill

This design is very simple and can be easily modified to suit any needs and desires. It consists of brick walls in which projections are arranged (the brick is placed on its edge). Heat-resistant sheets (metal, etc.), grates, and skewers are placed on these protrusions. Convenient, especially if there is some kind of roof over your head in case of precipitation, but it is built separately and at will.

Project and photo of the finished brick grill/barbecue

Any brick structure requires a foundation, or at least a prepared foundation. Not even this small brick grill. Since there are not many bricks - the wall is half a brick, then under this design A compacted area lined with some kind of hard surface is suitable.

Preparing the base

Remove the fertile layer and, if necessary, deepen the pit. The depth should be about 20-25 cm. The dimensions of the foundation or platform are 50 cm larger than the dimensions of the stove in all directions. The bottom is leveled, crushed stone of the middle fraction is poured onto it. The thickness of the crushed stone layer is 15 cm. It is compacted well. It is advisable to use a vibrating plate, if not, a metal or wooden tamper.

Further steps depend on the selected base. If this is one of the coverings - paving stones, paving slabs and similar materials, then a layer of fine-grained sand is poured into which the covering is laid level.

If selected as a basis slab foundation, it is reinforced with a rod 10 mm in diameter. It is laid along and across the foundation in increments of 20 cm, and tied at the intersection. If you don’t know how to knit with special wire, you can tie it with plastic clamps. Reinforcement with a finished mesh of thick wire is allowed for this model. The formwork is placed around the edges and everything is poured. Work can begin in a week if the average daily temperature was not lower than +20°C, and in two if it was +17°C.

For this brick barbecue use solid ceramic brick M200. You can use a stove-type one, but it’s more expensive; you shouldn’t use fireclay: it’s not the right temperature and it doesn’t like moisture too much to feel normal in an open grill.

The masonry is laid using a clay-sand mixture, to which a little cement is added for greater strength. For beginners, it is better to take a ready-made mixture for stoves, but not heat-resistant, without fireclay. Knead according to the instructions, seam thickness - 3-5 mm, maintain strictly. Constantly monitor the verticality of the walls and the horizontality of the masonry. This is important for normal operation of the oven.

As you can see, everything is really very simple. Each odd row starts with a whole brick, the odd row starts with a half. In the 6th and 10th rows, the bricks are placed on a spoon - sideways, and turned across the main masonry. If you are making a barbecue - under the grate - in the same rows, the back wall is made of bricks, also placed on spoons, and to maintain the thickness of the masonry, they are placed in two rows, just like the rest - with bandaging - displacement of the seams. If you are going to use the grill for skewers, place a brick on the back wall, also on a spoon, making a ledge in this area as well. In front, a profile metal pipe of small cross-section, cut to size, is used as a support for the skewers. You can make recesses in it for skewers.

Starting from the 7th row, the laying is carried out only on half - right or left - as is convenient for you, but this layout is given under the frying chamber on the left - it is wider, and there is a table on the left. If it’s more convenient for you the other way around, do a mirror image of this order.

Brick is a hygroscopic material; in order to reduce the amount of moisture that it will “pull” from the base and extend its service life, waterproofing is needed under the first row. You can lay rolled material (such as roofing felt or waterproofing material) in two layers and apply hydrophobic impregnation around the perimeter. A layer of waterproofing between the first and second rows would not hurt either.

This is what one of the variations of a brick grill looks like without a table (if you don’t need one, just ignore this part)

After the brick grill is built, it is left to dry in warm weather for 1-2 days, in cooler weather - for 3-5. Then you can do a test run. Approximate “equipment” is shown in the photograph of the finished barbecue. This version has three rows of protrusions: the top one is for food, the middle one is for coals, and the bottom one is for collecting burnt coals and ash.

In order for a folded grill to serve more or less long, it is advisable to coat it with a composition that reduces hygroscopicity. For this case, KO-85 varnish is best suited. And it would also be nice to provide some kind of lid: close it in case of rain and for the winter.

Brick barbecue with pipe: order

This barbecue option is a little more complicated, but also not the most difficult. The most important thing is that the combustion chamber here has a direct arch, and it is much easier to make it with a vaulted one. The brick frying chamber is raised to a height of 90 cm, the total height to the beginning of the pipe is 217.5 cm.

It all starts with preparing the foundation. For this barbecue oven, only a monolithic reinforced base (reinforcement step 15 cm) on a compacted crushed stone base is suitable. Waterproofing is spread in two layers on the dried foundation, then masonry begins. If the barbecue is made in a gazebo, the first row of masonry should begin at floor level. If the foundation is lower, lay out an additional row (or two) of bricks, and then begin laying according to the given diagram.

The first 9 rows do not require any special explanation. Lay exactly according to the plan, maintaining order, using halves and cut bricks, if indicated on the plan. Be sure to check the verticality of the resulting walls, as well as control the thickness of the mortar - 8-10 mm and the horizontal laying of each brick.

To control the thickness of the seam, you can use a reinforcement bar of the appropriate diameter. It is placed on the edge, the surface of the row is filled with mortar, and the excess just above the rod is cut off with a trowel. After laying and tapping the bricks, an even seam is obtained - the rod does not allow the brick to sink lower than necessary. The rod is then removed and placed higher.

To be able to lay the 6th row (solid), after laying the 5th, lay a strip of metal 4-5 mm thick, 40 mm wide. The length is slightly less than the span of the furnace - 1450 mm. 3 stripes are needed - one at the edge, two approximately in the middle of each row of bricks or as indicated below (11th row).

The layout of the next rows of barbecues is clear. Only in the 12th row, pay attention - you need bricks sawn lengthwise. It is also worth saying that the 12th and 13th rows are larger than the lower ones - forming a decorative “belt”.

The light color in these rows indicates fireclay brick (ША-8). Place it on the same composition of clay and sand (a small proportion of cement can be added). It is better not to use chamotte-based mixtures: they require very high temperatures for sintering, which are unattainable in outdoor barbecues. As a result, this solution may subsequently simply crumble.

At this part of the order, everything is also clear: we begin to form the arch of the firebox. It overlaps on the 22nd row, in which a gradual narrowing begins.

The formation of the arch continues, which in the 30th row turns into chimney. Next, alternate the 30th and 31st rows until the required height is reached.

First, a few simpler options. You can make these brick barbecues yourself.

Variations on the same theme - original finish

Several barbecues that you can build if you already have some experience, but it’s better to entrust it to a specialist (if you find it, of course)

It seems that building a brick grill with a stove with your own hands is too complicated and expensive, and only professionals can do it. But such work really do it yourself.

You just need to be patient, get all the necessary materials and get to work with due diligence.

A good barbecue stove will not only be a good decoration for your dacha, but will also be an excellent reason to gather the whole family, relatives and friends under one roof.

In addition, food prepared outdoors always tastier and eliminates the need to stand in a stuffy kitchen during the hot summer.

Why build a brick oven with your own hands?

This stove is ideal not only for cooking kebabs, it is possible to cook in it, in principle, any dishes, for which only there is enough imagination.

Stew vegetables, fry pasties, make jam, and if you buy a cauldron, you can enjoy delicious pilaf. The brick grill looks much better more effective portable.

Especially if it is a barbecue with an oven, to which is attached a place for preparing and cutting food. And by building a shelter over the building, you will be able to use it comfortably in bad weather.

Advantages and disadvantages

The undoubted advantage is that brick barbecues practically eternal. Having built such a stove, you will use it for as long as you like. In addition, the possibility boast of a brick oven-barbecue in front of your guests will also not be superfluous. You can solve the problem of sudden rain by attaching a canopy.

The roof will ideally complement a brick grill (see photos of closed buildings at the end of the article). The disadvantages include the fact that the cost of such barbecues is a lot more than portable metal ones, and if built incorrectly, they may be completely useless.

Construction planning

Where will the brick stove and grill be located? We prepare the place with our own hands

Construction must be carried out in open well ventilated area and away from flammable objects. It is also recommended to equip this place with some kind of shelter to protect the stove from bad weather. Additional convenience will be provided by a small gazebo in which guests could gather.

ATTENTION! Check with your neighbors in advance to see if stove smoke will bother them. To do this, light a fire at the construction site and make sure that the smoke will not cause inconvenience to anyone.

Additional extensions

The grill can have: a cauldron, an oven, a smokehouse, a fireplace with a grill, a tandoor, a hob.

You can build a grill with a brick oven, complement the construction with a smokehouse or work area. The number of buildings is limited only by the free space on the site.

Design

Any barbecue starts with a project. If you don't have technical education, then it is better to order the layout from professional builders, or use one of our projects (see photos and layouts below). But you can do the order yourself, following the basic rules:

combustion chamber build high four rows of masonry;
three rows of masonry on the grill;
fireplace - six rows of masonry;
casing - three rows of masonry high.

If you are not sure whether you can carry out the procedure yourself, it is better to turn to specialists for this matter. Improper design can significantly degrade the quality of the furnace.

Site preparation

If the construction site is not concreted or, for example, not lined with stone, then you will have to prepare the site under the grill First of all, clear away debris and remove the top layer of soil. Required area at least three square meters .

REFERENCE! If the barbecue is not located under a canopy, then it is advisable to build it not on clay, but on cement mortar, adding salt to it in the ratio: 1 kilogram of salt per bucket of mortar.

Laying the foundation

The construction of a barbecue stove must begin with the installation of the foundation. The dimensions depend on the area of the building, and the depth on the density of the soil. The lower the density, the deeper the foundation is made. Better reinforcement steel pins or wire.

The width of the pit should be greater than the furnace itself by 10 centimeters. Dig depth is approximately 30 centimeters. If there is a lot of sand in the soil, then dig a pit of shallow depth, and before pouring the foundation, formwork must be installed.

If the soil is clayey, then concrete for the foundation can be poured immediately without preparation.

After installing the wooden formwork, fill the bottom with sand and gravel, compacting and watering the surface. After which, fill with the solution.

Foundation through 10-15 days will gain its strength, and then it will be possible to move on to masonry. But before that, it is better to provide the building with waterproofing. For waterproofing For example, a sheet of roofing material will do.

Here any other materials are used that will be able to retain the same heat inside the barbecue. Place a layer of brickwork on top and fill everything with cement. Now you can move on to building the barbecue oven.

REFERENCE! If you live in a rainy area, it is better to use a brick platform instead of a pit. This will help reduce the oven's exposure to excess moisture.

Construction of a barbecue with an oven

After receiving the construction plan, or having completed it yourself, you need to move on to building a brick barbecue with a stove. Construction should be carried out with due care and precision. Since incorrect and poor-quality construction can ruin the entire structure, and will cost wasted time and money.

Help may be helpful when laying bricks wooden frame, which must be installed at the beginning to obtain uniform walls of the barbecue. It is advisable to use clay in the masonry mortar. Instead of clay you can use special dry mixtures. Use a metal corner to cover stove openings. If you decide to use for construction old brick, then don't forget about pre-cleaning from dried old cement.

The hearth should be laid out from fireclay brick, due to its fire resistance. Walls and cladding can be made of ordinary ceramic bricks. The mortar for the barbecue stove is made from cement, sand and clay. For a firebox made of fireclay bricks, a solution without adding cement is used in the following proportions: three parts sand to one part clay. Bricks before laying is advisable soak in water. This will provide a stronger grip.

Before starting construction, carefully calculate the location of the brickwork and make sure there is enough free space around it.

Layout of a barbecue with a stove

Lay out the first two continuous rows bricks in the shape of a rectangle or in the shape provided for in the layout. Without forgetting align corners and remove excess mortar so as not to spoil the appearance of the fryer. To ensure that the rows are even, use a plumb line.
To the third level install the ash stove door.
Fourth it is also laid out solid.
In the fifth row Close the ash door of the stove with a lock and install the grate.
In the sixth lay out the bricks without gaps.
In the seventh You can already install the door for the firebox.
At eight and ninth, bricks should be laid in a continuous layer.
From level ten Usually the construction of the stove chimney has already begun.
At eleven block the firebox door opening.
In the twelfth already make a hob and hearth.
From the fourteenth row proceed to the construction of the chimney channel and construct the side walls of the brazier and the back wall.
From twenty-first to twenty-third is created semicircular fireplace cover. Here, to give the brick the correct shape, it you'll have to cut it with a grinder.
From twenty-fourth to thirty-first bricks must be laid out in a continuous layer.
Somewhere on the twenty-sixth row to bring out the smoke channel.
Already on the thirty-second level you can install a pipe. The cap over the chimney is usually made of the same materials from which the stove was built.

For greater comfort in using the barbecue, you should take into account some of the nuances of its construction. For example, When calculating the width of the fryer, you need to take into account the length of the skewers.

PECULIARITIES! Metal tends to expand when heated, so be sure to leave a small gap when installing a metal door. The height of the stove should correspond to your height for greater convenience when working with it.

Fire safety

Do not forget that the grill is extremely fire hazardous structures. Failure to comply with safety precautions when operating the fryer carelessly can lead to dire consequences.

Do not leave explosive objects nearby. Construction should not be carried out near wooden objects, trees. Install canopies or other shelters with care to prevent the possibility of fire.

Important! Under no circumstances should flammable materials be placed on or near a working stove.

Knowing and practicing essential safety principles will eliminate the possibility of unexpected results.

The concepts of barbecue and barbecue are often confused, since they are built for cooking with smoke and coals. But a barbecue is needed to prepare barbecue, and a barbecue grill is a method of cooking food over an open fire using a grate.

Ordinary grill can be turned into a barbecue by attaching a grill to it.

BBQ oven There are mobile and stationary, the sizes depend on the functions performed. The simplest furnace is built in dimensions 0.18*0.07*0.9 m, reminds regular grill with grate.

A slightly improved barbecue is built with space for a hob, its dimensions are 1.7*0.4*1.9 m. simplest furnace complex has dimensions 1.2*2.2*1.9 m.

Stoves are offered for construction with a cauldron, barbecue, stove, and other accessories for cooking on coals. All you have to do is choose the project that suits your needs. We will tell you in detail in this article about how to build a brick barbecue with your own hands. Drawings and photos of some projects are attached. Well, the dimensions of a brick barbecue, drawings and photographs of other stove models can be found on the adjacent pages of our website.

Why build an outdoor brick barbecue with your own hands?

Modern variety of outdoor slabs does not allow you to choose a single model - you want to take an element from each project. Building a barbecue oven in the garden out of brick with your own hands allows you to combine them into one ideal oven on your site.

Photo 1. A small, highly aesthetic garden barbecue oven made of brick with a barbecue and a work table. Building such a simple barbecue stove with your own hands from brick and stone is easy and quick, especially if there are special instructions for laying a barbecue with a barbecue.

TO pros brick oven own construction include the following advantages:

the ability to create your own project;
a stove built in this way will stationary— it will not be stolen, even if the owners of the site are absent for a long time;
confidence in the materials and durability of the assembled stove;
laying a barbecue is so simple that a person without stove maker experience can master it;
giving the site classic style or country style;
creating a reason to be proud of your friends.

What are the designs of a brick barbecue and kebab oven?

The main projects for building a barbecue for a brick cottage are divided into 3 types:

without pipe- a simple oven, reminiscent of a barbecue, requiring minimum costs for construction;
with pipe— an improved stove, in which when cooking food the smoke will not be scattered by the wind in different directions;
with pipe and hob- for the possibility of preparing first courses, for example, soups, borscht, fish soup.

The best option is to create stoves with pipe without stove, because most often the company gathers to eat hot kebabs with equally hot drinks.

The pipe in the stove design will protect vacationers from the random dispersion of smoke and flying ash particles.

Building a brick barbecue: cost estimate

One of the first stages of the project implementation is the calculation of the material that will be needed to build the stove. Garden barbecues for the dacha have many diagrams showing how to make this or that structure, and some of them also have instructions. This is especially convenient for determining the volume in advance. necessary building materials.

Calculation of the amount of ordinary bricks for a building stoves with pipe(by rows): 38+10.5+10.5+10.5+10.5+33+33.5+13+13+13+13+35+35+9+9+9+9+9 +9+9+9+18+26+22+20+12+10+9+7+5+5 = 474.5 pcs.

ordinary Red brick 1st grade - 474.5 pcs.;

Calculation of the amount of refractory bricks for laying firebox(starting from row 14): 7+7+7.5+7.5+7+7.5+7+3 = 53.5 pcs.

fire brick to create a firebox - 53.5 pcs.;
concrete mortar for pouring the foundation or its mixture of water, sand, crushed stone, cement in a ratio of 4:4:4:1;
metal pipe 15-20 cm in diameter - 1 pc.;
board for formwork formation - 1 pc.;
coarse sand— 17 kg;
reinforcement mesh — 2 m;
sheet metal- 1 PC.;
table top- 1 PC.;
oven grate for collecting coals - 1 pc.;
silicone and heat resistant sealant for sealing masonry cracks - 1 tube;
facing material.

Before proceeding to the construction phase, check availability tools:

shovel;
building level;
rope;
roulette;
hammer.

Such tools are so simple that it is difficult to find an alternative to use them.

Attention! When building a stove, you will need halves of bricks - these can be made using a grinding machine.

We select and prepare a site for construction

The place where you can build a barbecue oven with your own hands is selected based on comfort and fire safety. On at a distance of 3-4 meters from the stove Trees, bushes and grass should not grow. If extensions, a bathhouse, or other buildings are built on the site, the stove must be built at a distance. The predominant direction of the wind should not be towards one’s own or neighbors’ buildings.

Photo 2. An impromptu place to relax with a barbecue in the garden thickets. Surely you have a corner on your property where a brick barbecue would fit perfectly. The photo does not allow us to estimate the size of the site, but even a small oven will look better than such a scorched piece of earth.

If we discuss the comfort of using future cooking in an outdoor oven, it is most convenient to place the structure next to relaxation area- patio, gazebo, terrace. If there are no such places on the site, you can choose any place for the barbecue, and place a table with chairs nearby. Keep in mind that you will need a lot of water and firewood for cooking and maintaining the stove. The size of the furnace working area is selected depending on financial capabilities and the size of the area.

located on the leeward side of a residential building. Otherwise, smoke will enter the house, penetrating inside and leaving traces of soot outside;
It is undesirable to have plants next to a brick barbecue - their vital functions will be disrupted due to high temperatures.

Once a location has been chosen, you should prepare platform for the furnace area. The soil is cleared of the fertile layer: grass, bushes, trees. It is allowed to remove trees from your site without the consent of local authorities, provided that there are no environmental restrictions.

Attention! Remember that roots left in the ground can sprout and damage flooring furnace zone.

Usually, during planning and clearing an area for future construction, conifers and fruit trees. After this you can go to the stage of pouring the foundation according to the shape and size suggested by your chosen barbecue drawing diagram.

Construction of a brick barbecue

Oven on personal plot, no matter what type it belongs to, this structure is quite intricate and requires a certain amount of knowledge. Therefore, for everyone who decided to build a barbecue for their dacha with their own hands, step-by-step instruction, which is given on this page of the site, is simply necessary. If laying barbecue stoves by hand is a process unfamiliar to you, you are unlikely to be able to lay even the first row of brickwork without such instructions.

Before starting construction, it is advisable to carry out an approximate drawing to calculate the required amount of materials and proper construction of the structure.

Stove makers with extensive experience do not use a drawing for masonry (they already know by heart how to lay a brick barbecue with their own hands).

If you are not a specialist, in addition to regular drawing- will also be needed order brick barbecue, masonry drawings or detailed barbecue masonry diagram.

Any barbecue oven is built from brick in layers - one row of bricks after another. The number of bricks in each row is not the same and they can be folded differently. To know exactly how to build a brick barbecue with your own hands and not confuse anything, you need drawings with order. Even a novice stove maker, having such drawings in hand, is sure that designs for arranging barbecue stoves will help avoid gross mistakes during construction.

How to make barbecue stoves for a brick cottage: foundation (step by step)

Heavy weight brick kiln required solid foundation. Equally suitable tape And monolithic foundation. We will use the recommendations of furnace specialists and give preference monolithic version.

Attention! It is best to pave the work area around the stove.

So, let's start building a barbecue with our own hands - step-by-step instructions for pouring the foundation:

digs a pit the size of 1.5*2 m with a depth of up to 0.4 m.
the bottom is leveled using a shovel;
a layer of sand is poured 10 cm thick, filled with a small volume of water, compacted;
wooden formwork fastened with self-tapping screws is installed;
reinforcement mesh is laid;
the foundation is being poured concrete mortar;
leave for a week until hardened.

Attention! When stirred, air accumulates in the solution, which reduces the strength of the structure. To eliminate air, you need to make holes in the uncured concrete.

Brick barbecue laying: base

The base on which the entire structure of the stove will be installed is the first stage from which the laying of a brick barbecue begins. Step-by-step instruction, which we present here, should help to avoid mistakes due to which the entire structure may ultimately be unsuitable for use.

Attention! At the stage of laying out a barbecue with your own hands, grade 1 red burnt bricks and cement mortar are used step by step.

After the foundation has hardened, it is carefully studied for presence of cracks. They need to be sealed and wait until they harden.

Next, it is marked furnace circuit. Experts recommend stretching the cord between pieces of reinforcement inserted into the corners. Bricks are laid along the cord, greased with cement mortar and layer 2 is laid, starting with half a brick.

You should check the evenness of the masonry using a level.

Attention! Tap the top and side of each brick with a hammer - this strengthens the adhesion of the building materials.

The charcoal grate is placed on the second row. Apply the mortar to the end of the brick to increase the reliability of the masonry.

Subsequent rows will begin with half brick. Next, 5 rows of bricks are laid according to the presented scheme. Starting from the 6th, it will be located oven tray- a small protrusion is made here. 3 rows are laid according to the pattern, and a new ledge for kiln table basics.

Advice! Select the height of the oven and table based on ease of use. You can be free with the number of initial rows - they do not in any way affect the strength and reliability of the structure.

Laying a barbecue stove: firebox

Attention! At this stage, you will need 2 types of bricks - regular red and fireproof, a solution of clay and sand. The bricks will be laid out in 2 rows - the outer one made of red brick, the inner one made of fireclay. The bottom of the firebox should also be lined with refractory bricks.

Reason for firebox And table tops done in the form of a screed. The boards are laid out one brick thick, cut to the size of the span. The top is filled with concrete mortar and left for 5 days.

The height of this part of the stove depends on its shape: 9 bricks for a rectangular one, 7 for an arched one. Depth - up to 70 cm. The pipe is removed after several rows.

Photo 3. The process of building a brick barbecue is underway. The photo was taken at the stage when the laying of the barbecue stove was almost ready and the construction of the woodshed was completed. Another module is at the stage of laying the first row of bricks.

Attention! To remove the chimney, the area of the masonry is gradually reduced, each row is reduced by half a brick in length and ¼ in width. From the 7th row, pipe laying with a height of up to 13 rows will begin.

Chimney laying

Attention! At this stage red brick is used and cement mortar.

The chimney in a brick barbecue located in a gazebo is bought at a hardware store or welded from sheet material. To seal the free space between the pipe and the furnace, use heat resistant sealant. The gazebo must have a fireproof opening for the chimney outlet.

Important! A cap is placed on the upper end of the pipe to create proper draft and protect the furnace from precipitation that could impair its functionality.

It’s easier to buy a tabletop in a store, attaching it to a created ledge silicone sealant. To do it yourself, you need to plaster with cement and trim the surface with tiles or stone after installing the slab.

Decorating a stove with a pipe

After removing the chimney, you can take care of the appearance of the barbecue. To do this, decorate the kebab and barbecue ovens with your own hands: lay out the floor covering with non-slip material, for example, porcelain stoneware. In this case, special glue is used. Along the façade they pass grinder and clean with a brush to remove any remaining solution. You can use tiles or wild stone to improve the aesthetic appearance of the structure.

Additional attributes

To increase the comfort of relaxation next to an outdoor stove, it is advisable to take care of additional attributes.

To decorate the site and make it possible to have a cozy time in the evening, you should supply electricity and perform table lighting, hearth, space under the roof, boundaries of a recreation area or site.

In addition to the stove itself, the figure also contains a description of the work table with the required dimensions. If you are going to build a brick barbecue with your own hands, drawings of this kind will be necessary.

Work table to prepare food for cooking, rack to place spices, utensils and accessories are located next to the work area.

You can completely place the stove with the pipe in glass gazebo and cook delicious kebabs all year round or install a canopy for basic protection from precipitation.

A table, benches or chairs are purchased or created as furniture for relaxation. Designers do not recommend buying cheap plastic furniture - it will spoil the atmosphere of outdoor cooking and may cause a fire. It is better to give preference to forged, wooden, wicker furniture in natural colors.

Fire safety

Remember to follow the rules fire safety. Nobody wants to interrupt their rest to make a call fire service and eliminating the consequences of fire of nearby objects.

Rules for installing a stove to prevent fire:

need for construction on solid foundation ;
finishing with metal sheets or other non-flammable floor material in front of the stove;
placement at a decent distance from flammable substances, trees, bushes, buildings.

Operating rules:

when the oven is idle, it is covered cover so that precipitation does not disrupt functionality;
protect children from being close to the stove;
do not leave the stove lit, especially with food, unattended.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1. Dimensions of the structure

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

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

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

Examples of our barbecue projects

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

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

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

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

2. Required space for building a barbecue

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Choosing a place to build a barbecue

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4. Materials required for building a barbecue

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

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

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

5. Tools needed to build a barbecue

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

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

6. Selection of materials

Particular attention should be paid to the selection and purchase of several types of bricks for construction, which will be needed in two types: fire-resistant and facing. Models available for purchase different colors so that the building has a designer look.

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

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

The main emphasis when choosing a material should be on its fire resistance and strength. Built from quality bricks The oven will last a very long time.

7. Clay solution

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

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

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

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

Direct steps in constructing the furnace 4:

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

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

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

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

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

9. Laying the foundation

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

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

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

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

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

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

10. “Kiln Leg”

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

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

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

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

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

11. Bottom of the firebox

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

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

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

12. Firebox walls

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

Phased construction of one of the projects, photo

14. Chimney roof

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

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

15. BBQ and gazebo

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

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

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

16. BBQ finishing

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

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

17. Final work

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

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

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

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

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

High heat resistance.
Easy to clean.
Smoke resistance.

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

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

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

18. BBQ oven capabilities

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

19. Precautions

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

Basic safety rules for using a barbecue oven:

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