How to build a barbecue oven in the country with your own hands

Furnace features

The structure is made of bricks. It turns out a reliable and attractive summer hearth for frying. If you decide to build a barbecue with your own hands, it makes no sense to choose complex projects, build a whole stove complex. It is difficult in the work plan, and it will take a lot of money. You need to start simple. When you master the masonry thoroughly, you can think of something large-scale.

There are no fundamental differences between barbecue and barbecue. The only thing that catches your eye is the way of cooking. On the grill, meat is fried on skewers, on the barbecue, a grate is used. An outdoor grill and a barbecue maker may differ in the presence of a cover. The first structure is an open structure, without a chimney. In brick barbecues, it is usually present, but there are also models without a pipe.

The main features of the oven:

• 2 workplaces - a hearth for frying and a hob;
• impressive size;
• often the presence of a chimney;
• at the bottom there is a container for storing and drying firewood.

This list is subject to change, it all depends on your imagination. In order for the stove to be effective and last a long time, we recommend installing it under a canopy or inside a gazebo. This will protect the masonry from blurring, exposure to sunlight.

The type of barbecue depends on your imagination and requirements. Typically, the structure consists of brick walls with ledges. Heat-resistant sheets, a rasp, skewers, a cauldron are placed on the latter. Therefore, it is very convenient when there is a canopy over the stove. And the food is protected and the cook does not suffer from discomfort.

Any brick structure requires a foundation or at least a prepared foundation. If you are planning to build a compact stove, it is enough to build a hard surface area.

The most popular outdoor cooking sites are:

• grill;
• B-B-Q;
• brazier;
• fireplace.

In the future, they can be supplemented with various functional components. As a result, it will be possible to create a full-fledged summer kitchen in the yard.

DIY construction

Self-construction is a creative process. Buying a ready-made structure will cost a tidy sum. With modest skills, a simple and beautiful barbecue can be folded.

To create a stationary oven without problems, we recommend:

• draw up a working diagram;
• purchase material with a small margin;
• prepare the tool;
• clear the site where the work will be performed.

In practice, a small complex of a brazier, oven and desktop is not too difficult to build.

With chimney

Ideal when a gazebo with a stove is being built at the same time. It does not always work out that way, so we will figure out in more detail how to separately build a foundation for a barbecue.

Step-by-step site preparation:

1. A pit is made with a depth of 450–500 mm.
2. Then it is filled with rubble or gravel.
3. The base is leveled, the approximate thickness should be 30–55 mm.
4. Spill with water.
5. Ram.
6. A metal mesh is laid on top.
7. Formwork is erected around the perimeter.
8. The pit is filled with concrete mortar.

The foundation should be several centimeters below the floor. Moisten the base with water for the first week to avoid cracking. After 20 days, the structure will dry out, we proceed to laying the waterproofing.

The main working process is laying the stove. In order for the construction to proceed quickly, without causing inconvenience, purchase a refractory brick in advance, make a clay mortar, a countertop of the required dimensions. Initially, the oven stand is laid out:

1. Lay out 1 row especially carefully, taking into account the ordinal markings. Form the 2nd row, controlling and alternating the dressing. 6 rows move in this direction. The stand is made, there is a container for firewood, it will be useful to allocate space for dishes.
2. The seventh row overlaps the floor, the eighth - the overlap. The bottom of the firebox is formed. Fireclay bricks are used for laying. The tenth row is still equipping the firebox.
3. The masonry moves further, the space above the cupboard becomes less. This is for the cutting table. It is recommended to order a finished product. Mount it on the bricks of the desktop. The joints are coated with a sealant.
4. The eleventh row will be final for the firebox, it closes, its iron flap overlaps on top. The grille is mounted. Make sure that it can be easily removed, this is important for its maintenance.
5. The oven is formed from the 12th row. To protect it, the front side is laid out with one row of bricks. Up to 16 rows form and complete the frying space. Bricks are bandaged. The seventeenth row is final for the oven.
6. The eighteenth row is the vault of the brazier.
7. The nineteenth row is the transition for the manufacture of the overlap of the frying container, observe the order. The bricks at the joints of the vault are formed to size. In the 20th row, the masonry is in order, 21 - overlaps the vault.
8. Next in line is the visor. A brick layer is pushed along the 22 rows. To get a neat visor, carefully check the binding of the corners at the junction of the sidewalls with the back wall.
9. Now the chimney. The twenty-third row reduces the smoke hole, a so-called pipe is formed. The twenty-fourth row overlaps the frying chamber, 25 - creates the lid.
10. The construction of the chimney itself starts from the 26th row, the 27th is the bandaging of the first row of the pipe. Then it is raised to the desired height. Observe the dressing. The higher the pipe, the better the draft at the stove.

By doing everything step by step, you can quickly build a structure, significantly increasing your masonry skills.

Without pipe

This option is often found, it makes sense to install the structure in the open air. In the gazebo, a corner barbecue without a pipe will ruin the rest, there will be a lot of smoke in the room. This stove is easier to build, the basic work algorithm is the same as above, only the construction ends on the 22nd row of brickwork.

Other options

The indisputable advantage of a barbecue is the possibility of modernization. The main structure looks great in combination with a stove, barbecue, smokehouse, cauldron. This significantly expands the functionality of the Russian stove. Closed cabinets are often installed on the sides, where kitchen appliances are stored. Do not forget that the weight of the barbecue is increasing, so there must be a solid foundation.

Building Tips

Professionals have compiled a whole set of recommendations for the correct construction. Remember that drawings are drawn up before starting work. Which oven option to choose depends on the following points:

• comfort of operation of the structure;
• material strength;
• the size of the structure;
• the temperature range that the oven gives out;
• a combination of barbecue design with the landscape of the site.

Refractory, fireclay bricks are chosen as the main material. We will use clay mortar for the masonry.

The constructed foundation dries for about 20 days.After the stove itself has been laid out, several more weeks should pass. Only after the expiration date it can be used.

The garden barbecue maker organically combines functionality and elegant appearance. The design will be a worthy addition to the site. By upgrading the stove, you can cook meat, first courses, pilaf in a cauldron, bake vegetables on it. To make the hearth effective, make a test firing and measure the temperature. All that remains is to invite guests and try a new barbecue!
