Construction stages. Project selection
The first and most important stage in the construction of a barbecue oven - development project and drawing future design. According to the drawing, the master will be able to calculate the amount of building materials and correctly create the stove itself. There is no universal version of the drawing - all planned by the owner independently, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- grill must have height not less than 65-70 cm for ease of work (when constructing a drawing, the owner’s height must be taken into account);
- bake, as a rule, is laid down 10 cm below the grill;
- such nuances as are thought out in advance placement of firewood, coal, tongs etc.
The most simple the project is considered raised brazier, under which a baking tray with coals is located. If you make several protrusions, the grate can be moved to a given height to adjust the heating temperature.

This design has significant drawback: During the cooking process, it is easy to get burned by coals falling from the brazier. To avoid this, it is recommended to use advanced version barbecue - two-story oven, in which the niche under the firebox is a place for storing and drying firewood.

A trench should be dug 40 cm deep and fill it out a mixture of crushed stone and gravel, after which all materials must be thoroughly watered and compacted. A layer of mesh of reinforcing bars. The final stage in the construction of the foundation is laying formwork And filling trenches with high-quality concrete.
Materials and tools

The solution is supplemented with sifted sand and a small amount of cement. stamps 200. Cement mortar For cladding the structure, it is prepared from a mixture of cement and sand.
The full estimate of materials for purchase is calculated based on the entire project. On average, per 1 sq. m. the masonry is half a brick 50 pieces of bricks taking into account mortar joints.
From tools The master will need: a trowel, a mortar trowel, a wooden jointer, a hammer-pick, a scraper, a mason's box, various control and measuring instruments, a plumb line, a bubble building level, metal rows, a square, a tape measure, a folding ruler, a rule and intermediate pendulums.

Its size must correspond amount of firewood for 3 fireboxes, A height podium on average equals 70 cmWhen designing, the master can use other sizes that are convenient for him.
