A brick barbecue will give you never-ending satisfaction from having bar-b-que parties within the garden with friends and family, as well as helping you reap the advantages of a wholesome fat free diet!
Let us presume that we will likely build a solid brick barbecue which is to be about 1 meter in height (should certainly be waist height) and a minimum of half a meter in width bare minimum. A 500cm space to cook will be the lowest size appropriate for the grill. Anything smaller and you start to limit the amount of food that you can cook at any given time.
What do you need to construct a brick barbecue?
About 100 bricks, some cement as well as sand mortar mix, a bucket to mix the mortar, a spirit level, a mortar board, plus a trowel to apply the mix on the bricks. We suggest you utilize a 4 to one ratio of sand to cement for the mortar mix, running in water gradually as you mix the mortar within the bucket until finally it attains a thick consistency.
Exactly where do you want to position your bbq?
Before you start the construction of our bar-b-que you have got to settle on the position of your barbecue. Exactly where precisely in the garden would you like to set your bar-b-que. We recommend that you build your bbq on solid foundation in a very protected location, and if at all possible anywhere where it will let you from cooking food on it without causing obstruction.
How to construct you bbq?
The basic shape of the bar-b-q has to be an inverted ‘U’ shape arrangement created with 3 brick walls, two side walls then one wall at the rear. As mentioned the height needs to be essentially be one meter high. The width of the side walls ought to be 500cm. If you would like to build a larger bbq using a bigger grill (say 750cm grill width) then go ahead and do it.
Additionally, it is possible to create a much larger barbecue by adding an extra ‘U’ alongside the 1st ‘u’ to accommodate a resting rack or work surface area on a 2nd ‘U’. This expansion to the barbecue is going to be useful to position your bar-b-que tongs, utensils and even rest the food, either before or soon after it leaves the barbeque grill.
Lay the bricks to make a sole ‘U’ or double ‘U’ structure. It can help if you’re able to do some elementary brickworking, or else you’ll need to read up on that or find someone to assist. Keep checking out the level of the barbecue when you lay each row of bricks to make sure you finish off with a level at flat top to rest your grill.
The last components of your bar-b-que design will include a metallic plate to keep the charcoal and a non-stick grill which to put the food. The metallic tray for your charcoal ought to be installed at a height of approximately 30 centimetres underneath the cooking grill at the top of the bar-b-que.
Hopefully you will be able to build a brick bar-b-q for your home with some of our suggestions.
