The simplest model
The standard oven model consists of three compartments. Essentially, we have to lay out a brick figure in the shape of the letter "W" with four partitions.
It is necessary to lay out bricks by laying in half a brick. With such a laying, each next row is shifted in a checkerboard pattern.
Laying out odd rows necessarily begins with the installation of whole bricks, and even ones - from halves. On the sixth and tenth rows, protrusions are formed.
At this height, the material is laid sideways, across the main rows. To maintain wall thickness in these areas, the bricks are stacked in two rows.
In the case when the design of the stove provides for the presence of a sink, then a hole for the drain must be left at the level of the sixth row.
At the level of the seventh row, it is necessary to decide on which side in the future the heat-resistant chamber will be located, and on which work surface (countertop and sink). It is from this row that bricks continue to be laid only on the left or right.
This will have to be done with cement mortar, with which all joints are evenly filled. It is best to round off the not yet dried seams with a special jointing. If not, a piece of any small diameter garden hose will do.
From hearth to barbecue - fire progress
Some 20-30 years ago, the most widespread device for preparing barbecue was a pair of bricks laid around a fire, or an artless construction of branches stuck into the ground. However, today, even at outdoor events, many prefer ready-made metal barbecues that can be conveniently folded into a suitcase after use. It is not surprising that today you can see at least a metal brazier with legs near a summer cottage or a country house. The owners strive to build this useful object of stone or fire-resistant bricks, equip a comfortable kitchen around it, and where the kitchen is, there is a dining table, chairs, and a canopy. If you take on such a project, then do everything in the best possible way, so the choice of a barbecue should be approached very responsibly.
First, let's figure out how the brazier differs from the grill and barbecue - perhaps you decide to give preference to the latter.
Brazier made of metal with legs
In fact, there are few fundamental differences in all devices - every barbecue can be called a barbecue, but not every barbecue. A brazier is any container for making a fire and conveniently placing a grate for meat or skewers. The grill differs from the barbecue by the presence of a lid, under which the food warms up better and becomes juicier. However, any brazier can be retrofitted with such a cover, having sheet metal and desire at hand, therefore today grill and brazier are considered synonymous words that mean the same thing.
But barbecue is a tool for the highest culinary aerobatics. Firstly, in every barbecue, in addition to a bowl for making a fire and a lid, there must be several grates for baking meat, vegetables and other goodies at the same time. Secondly, a barbecue differs from a brazier in wider possibilities for regulating traction - in conventional devices there are a large number of openings, opening or closing which, you can increase or decrease the temperature of burning coals. More advanced options even include electrically powered air blowers, built-in thermometers, and a host of other gadgets that every chef will love.
Barbecue with draft control
There are a huge number of options for mobile and stationary barbecues, grills and barbecues, there are even built-in options. The most important thing to remember when building a large barbecue or barbecue inside the gazebo is to arrange a good hood, otherwise your guests will have to wait outside while cooking, away from acrid smoke.
Construction of a gazebo: option number 2
draw up a drawing of the structure, remember the following points:
- Opening height. Here you need to proceed from the fact that it will serve as a place to enter. Usually it is calculated from the average height of a person;
- Opening width. This indicator is calculated based on the size of the doorway in a house or apartment;
- The length of the workpieces. The usual size for them is 6 or 12 running meters. This size is optimal, since it allows you to save as much as possible, since after the completion of the work there will be no rolling waste.
- Consumption of materials. When constructing metal arbors, square or rectangular pipes with a wall thickness of 24 mm are most often chosen. In the process of creating a drawing of a gazebo, you need to determine exactly how much material you need for construction.
welding method
The bolted design is also a big plus as it can be dismantled for the winter. But it has one drawback: to maintain stability, you will have to ensure that the screws are constantly tightened. Failure to follow this recommendation will damage the coating at the joint between bolts and steel pipes. And this will already create a danger for the development of foci of corrosion.
Types of gazebos for barbecue, barbecue and grill
The gazebo can be built over any brazier, be it a portable brazier, a grill on wheels or a garden fireplace. Such buildings can be divided into types, distinguishing them by the stationarity of the device for frying food, by the design features of the gazebo and by the material from which it is built.
By stationarity of the device for frying food
-
Brazier or grill - portable. In this case, a domed hood with a pipe must be planned in the roof of the gazebo, and the gazebo itself can be very light and represent a simple roof on pillars to protect the brazier from the weather.
-
Frying devices are capital, they are built of stone or brick. In this case, the gazebo is a single structure with them, since the pipe of the garden fireplace is permanently brought out through the roof of the gazebo.
-
Fireplace option: barbecue, grill and barbecue, portable or capital: brick or stone, but without a chimney. In this case, a domed hood is built in the gazebo, and the whole structure is most like a fireplace with a central location in the room.
By design features of the building
-
Open gazebo. Maybe just a roof on poles. Used to protect the fryer from the elements. Not suitable for use during the cold season.
-
Semi-open gazebo. Usually with back and side walls and an open front opening. Protects from wind and bad weather, zones the territory of the site, creates coziness.
-
Semi-open gazebo with the ability to close a free opening. The fourth wall is wide doors and can slide or fold. The most practical type of gazebo.
-
Closed gazebo. Suitable for use at any time of the year. It can be quite substantial - even with separate areas for cooking and relaxation inside.
According to the material from which the gazebo was built
-
A wooden gazebo is a simple, traditional, eco-friendly, beautiful and inexpensive option. It does not require a heavy complex foundation and an expensive heavy roof, such a gazebo can be easily built with your own hands. Disadvantages of a wooden structure: fire hazard and susceptibility to decay and swelling, therefore it needs special treatment.The tree is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity - inevitable when a fire is burning nearby from time to time. It is difficult to build a pipe or a domed hood into the roof of a wooden gazebo - a special technology is needed for insulation using high-temperature-resistant materials.
-
A simple metal gazebo. It is easy to manufacture, sometimes it does without a foundation (it can stand on pillars cemented in the ground) or requires a light foundation. The roof of such a gazebo can also be any, the ideal option is to create a roof from metal sheets. A metal garden structure is absolutely fireproof, you can assemble it yourself. But it is quite difficult to assemble such a gazebo on bolts with your own hands, and for welding work you need to have skills. The metal is susceptible to corrosion, therefore it needs a thorough priming and painting. The appearance of such a gazebo can not always be called aesthetic: sometimes it looks like an industrial shed.
-
Forged or designer metal gazebo. Such a structure is very beautiful, but very expensive, moreover, it is difficult to build it with your own hands, it needs a serious foundation. As a rule, wrought iron gazebos are not always functional, because they belong to the open type.
-
Stone or brick gazebo. This is a project that you can build with your own hands. Such a gazebo is capital, not fire hazardous, it can become almost a separate house on the site. It is easy to integrate any stove into it, even a garden fireplace. The disadvantages of building a capital gazebo are the high cost of construction and the complexity of the project. Such a gazebo requires a good foundation.
Brazier construction
When the foundation is completely frozen, they begin to build the furnace. They do this by following a pre-drawn barbecue drawing necessary for the construction of a high-quality building that meets the stated requirements.
To begin with, roofing material is laid on the surface of the foundation (to protect the structure from moisture). Also, additional waterproofing will not hurt to lay between the first two rows of masonry.
It is best to use a special oven brick, which has all the necessary properties, including increased heat resistance.
A clay-sand mortar with a slight addition of cement should be used as a connecting element.
Classification of gazebos
Gazebo with barbecue combines functionality and aesthetics
Paying due attention to the design, it will be possible to create a beautiful, modern design.
Having decided to build a gazebo, it is important to take into account not only its appearance, but also its functional purpose. In modern conditions, even the most complex design project can be realized.
Arrange a rest on your site in a gazebo with barbecue
Gazebos are:
Open. Classic seasonal version without walls. In order for the fire to be protected from precipitation, a stove or special decorative elements will be required. There is practically unlimited space in such a building.
Closed
In this case, considerable attention is paid to the interior. The construction turns out to be quite large-scale
In addition to the barbecue, it has other amenities.
Semi-closed. The structure is erected from metal, folding panels are used as doors. There is a carport and heating. In summer, you can fry meat here, and in autumn you can hide from the cold wind.
Gazebos are different in frame material: wood, stone or metal. Each design has its own characteristics.
Wood is the most common resource used to construct a structure. The material is inexpensive, has good performance characteristics. A timber structure requires a compact foundation, since its total weight is quite modest compared to other structures. If a brazier is built in, it must be surrounded by a fence.This will help prevent fires.
The main argument in favor of the stone is its fire resistance. In this design, open fires and barbecues are quite normal. The material is not cheap, but it justifies the money spent. A solid foundation is required for the construction of the building.
Experiment with the styles of your gazebo
Metal gazebos are superior in appearance. They are easy to erect, the material is durable due to complex processing. Forged gazebos are bought ready-made or made to order.

Barbecue selection
If the question arises before you: "What exactly do I want a grill?" - you should carefully study the characteristics and features of certain models and find out how much it correlates with the chosen project of the future gazebo.
Portable barbecues are usually small, lightweight, made of metal. This option is ideal for a summer gazebo, so that in good weather you can easily take the barbecue outside of it.
Built-in. The advantage of the same barbecues is equipment. They are suitable if you need to feed a large company, and can also be used as a fireplace or stove.
Barbecues for a gazebo with chimneys are more often used for open or semi-closed buildings, because if the gazebo is through and well blown, smoke and soot on a windy day will not fly in your direction.
How to arrange a brick brazier in a gazebo
The position of the barbecue in the gazebo depends on its design. With the pipe version, there are two options for the location of the stove: in the middle of the gazebo or from one of the edges. When the barbecue is located in the middle of the gazebo, access to the barbecue from either side is positive. It becomes possible to install a bench on the back of the barbecue, on which it will be comfortable to be due to the warming up of the wall.
The side-install situation is more common. Thanks to this scheme, there is more free space, which is used at the discretion. When choosing designs with a working area, a smokehouse, an oven and a stove, the central location option will not work. For a stove without a chimney, the central location option is also not suitable due to the fact that the smoke will pass through the entire building, and the risk of fire also increases.
The ideal option for placing the barbecue in the center of the gazebo is a small one, with a chimney and a double-sided firebox. In this version, it is possible to approach the brazier from both sides, which makes it more convenient and comfortable. Another advantage of such a stove is that it is completely protected from rain, snow, and also requires less financial and labor costs.
Step-by-step instructions for a summer kitchen with a stove
For the construction to be effective, you cannot do without drawing up a drawing. The task of the project: to provide for all the nuances of interior and exterior decoration. A well-thought-out drawing is the key to successful construction.
A summer kitchen is harder to build than a gazebo. There are more nuances to consider. But in general, the stages of building a summer kitchen are similar to the construction of a gazebo.
Foundation laying
Before erecting the foundation, the surface of the territory must be leveled. Then we apply the markup. For an open kitchen, a foundation buried by 10–15 cm is sufficient. To arrange the base, we remove a layer of earth and fill in the sand. We tamp and align. It is advisable to cover the base with tiles or stone.
If you are building a brick kitchen, its weight is much greater. You need a slab or strip foundation. The standard depth is 55–75 cm.
Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city in your suburban area
The working algorithm can be roughly divided into the following stages:
- Removing the soil layer to the required depth.
- Sand laying.
- Erection of the base.
- Floor arrangement. We lay crushed stone on the sand. We make a concrete screed on top.
The floor in the kitchen should rise several centimeters above the soil. This will prevent precipitation from getting inside.
Walls and roof
Building a stone summer kitchen is difficult without basic building skills. A simpler and more practical option is timber walls. It is enough to erect the frame, fasten the joints with screws. The beams are connected to the base by metal corners. Outside, we sheathe the structure with boards, plasterboard, etc.
It is desirable that the roof is of a gable type; for the winter, a heat-insulating layer will come in handy. The final stage is covering the roof with a protective material. In the summer kitchen, a canopy will come in handy.
In a closed room, windows are required. Today, openings with a height of human height are common. They provide good light transmission. When installing windows, check their tight fixation in the opening. Use silicone gaskets to speed up installation.
Stove installation and finishing
The most economical option is wood-burning stoves. They are often used in summer kitchens. Also, the structure is made of refractory bricks. It is thermally stable and keeps warm well.
The floor can be laid out with tiles, planks or linoleum. The wood flooring looks great. To increase its durability, it is treated with varnish, enamel. It is also easy and convenient to lay ceramic tiles.
For finishing ceilings, boards with a thickness of 15–25 mm or sheets of drywall are suitable. The first ones are treated with linseed oil before installation. Drywall after installation is painted.
Preparatory stage
Before proceeding with the construction of the structure, decide on the territory. Basically, they choose two options: near the house or in the far corner of the site. There are advantages in both cases
It is important to remember that the location of the gazebo affects its functionality. When deciding on the territory, take into account the peculiarities of connecting light, water, gas
It is advisable to choose a place far from utility rooms, toilets, drain pits, aviaries.
Barbecue selection
An important component in a gazebo is a stove. When choosing a ready-made brazier, you should take into account its material and design features. Moreover, you need to decide at the planning stage.
There are many different barbecues on sale. It is advisable to choose a model that fits well into the design of the room. For gazebos built of wood, a portable brazier is an excellent option. It is lightweight and compact. Built-in barbecues are popular. Their advantage is excellent equipment. Such stoves are great for enclosed spaces.
