Ordinary barbecue can be converted into a barbecue by adding a grill to it.

BBQ ovens can be mobile and stationary, the dimensions depend on the functions performed. The simplest oven is constructed in dimensions 0.18*0.07*0.9 m, resembles a regular barbecue with a grate.

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

The stoves are offered for construction with a cauldron, barbecue, stove, and other devices. for cooking on coals. You just have to choose the project that suits your needs. We will tell you in detail in this article how to build a brick barbecue with your own hands. Drawings, photos of some projects are attached. Well, the dimensions of the brick barbecue, drawings and photos of other models of stoves can be found on the neighboring pages of our site.

Why build an outdoor brick barbecue with your own hands?

Modern variety of street tiles 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 from bricks with your own hands allows you to combine them into one ideal oven on your site.

TO advantages of a brick oven The advantages of building your own include the following:

• the ability to create your own project;
• a stove built in this way will be stationary - it won’t 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 any stove-making experience can master it;
• giving the area a classic style or country style;
• creating a reason to be proud in front of friends.

What are the different types of barbecue and shashlik oven designs made of bricks?

The main projects for building a barbecue for a summer house made of brick are divided into 3 types:

• without a pipe — a simple oven, reminiscent of a barbecue, requiring minimal construction costs;
• with a pipe - an improved oven, in which smoke will not be scattered in different directions by the wind when cooking;
• with a pipe and a hob — to be able to prepare first courses, such as soups, borscht, fish soup.

The best option is to create stoves with a chimney without a stove, because most often the company gathers to eat hot shashlik 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 BBQ: 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 schemes showing how to make this or that structure, and some of them also have a row layout. It is especially convenient to determine in advance the volume of the necessary building material.

Calculation of the amount of ordinary bricks for construction stoves with a chimney (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+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 firebricks for laying firebox (starting from row 14): 7+7+7.5+7.5+7+7.5+7+3 = 53.5 pcs.

• firebrick to create a firebox - 53.5 pcs.;
• concrete solution 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 forming formwork - 1 pc.;
• coarse sand — 17 kg;
• reinforcing 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 cracks in masonry - 1 tube;
• facing material.

Before proceeding to the construction stage, check if there is any in stock tools:

• shovel;
• building level;
• rope;
• roulette;
• hammer.

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

Selecting and preparing a place for construction

The place where you can build a barbecue oven with your own hands is chosen based on comfort and fire safety. at a distance of 3-4 meters from the stove trees, bushes, grass should not grow. If extensions, a bathhouse, or other buildings are built on the site, the stove should be built at a distance. The prevailing wind direction should not be towards your own or neighboring buildings.

The photo does not allow you to estimate the size of the site, but even a small oven will look better than such a scorched patch of land.

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

Basic recommendations for stove placement:

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

Once the location has been chosen, it is time to prepare area for the oven area. The soil is cleared of the fertile layer: grass, bushes, trees. Removing trees from your site is permitted without the consent of local authorities, provided that there are no environmental restrictions.

Usually, during the planning and clearing of the area for the future building, coniferous and fruit trees are planted. After that, you can move on to the stage of pouring the foundation according to the shape and size suggested by the barbecue drawing scheme you have chosen.

Building a Brick Barbecue

A stove on a garden plot, no matter what type it is, is a rather intricate structure that requires a certain amount of knowledge. Therefore, for everyone who has decided to build a barbecue for a summer residence with their own hands, step by step instructions, which is given on this page of the site, is simply necessary. If laying barbecue ovens by hand is an unfamiliar process to you, you will hardly 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 the correct construction of the structure.

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

If you are not a specialist, you will also need, in addition to the usual drawing, ordering Brick barbecue, masonry drawings or detailed barbecue masonry diagram.

Any brick barbecue oven is built layer by layer - one row of bricks after another. The number of bricks in each row is not the same and they can be stacked differently. In order to know exactly how to build a brick barbecue with your own hands and not mix anything up, you need drawings with a row order. Even a novice stove maker, having such drawings in hand, is sure that the projects for the order of barbecue ovens will help to avoid gross errors during construction.

How to make barbecue ovens for a summer house from brick: foundation (step by step)

The heavy weight of a brick oven requires a solid foundation. A brick oven is equally suitable. tape And monolithic foundation. Let's use the recommendations of stove experts and give preference to the monolithic option.
