Ordering: how to fold a brick brazier

Despite the fact that we disassemble a brick outdoor brazier, which is simple in construction, the brick laying order (diagram) is drawn up in advance, taking into account the selected dimensions and configuration. It is most convenient to do this on a sheet of paper.

How to lay bricks? The simplest way of laying is with an offset of each row by half a brick in relation to the previous one. The first two rows are laid out in solid. The very first row consists of solid bricks, no halves.

The lower part of the barbecue is the base. Masonry scheme - from the corners to the center along the lines outlined in advance. Every 3 rows, it is necessary to check the correctness of laying with a level and a plumb line, lay out a mesh for reinforcement.

The base / plinth height depends on the project. It may contain one or more niches where firewood, coal and other utensils are stored. It is laid out in continuous masonry.

The central part of the structure is a firebox. The base for the brazier is cast in advance from concrete with reinforcement or laid out of bricks. If arches for the firebox and niches are being built according to the project, a circle is used. To distribute the bricks evenly, chips are inserted between them.

The gaps are the same, about 1 cm. Only after the arch is fully laid out, the space between the bricks is wetted and filled with mortar. The laid out arch is left to freeze with a circle for a day or two.

If the grill will also be used as a barbecue, you should take care of the possibility of installing the grill in advance. A small ledge is left for it, or several ledges, so that the grate can be placed at different levels. Install it on the reinforcement rods embedded in the walls of the barbecue.

Advice: if you leave small gaps between the bricks when laying the firebox, when using the barbecue in the future, thanks to the air penetrating into the cracks, combustion will be better.

The brazier is laid on metal corners, which are attached to the masonry with pins. Consider this when assembling a summer cottage brazier from a brick with your own hands (photo of a correctly folded firebox below).

Important! The ingress of atmospheric precipitation on unfinished brickwork is unacceptable. If it starts to rain, it must be carefully covered with polyethylene.

The last stage is the construction of the chimney. Its presence allows you to keep the heat in the grill longer and remove the smoke. For the chimney, the masonry continues to be laid out, gradually narrowing it upward. This is done by shifting the bricks in the rows. The displacement is made by no more than a third of the brick - otherwise the structure may be unstable.

Feature: The pipe is a heavy part, it requires supporting columns to install it.

If laying out a brick pipe seems too complicated, you can install a metal one. At the end of the masonry, you need to burn the walls of the firebox. To do this, fire wood in the hearth and increase the heat to the maximum.

The construction of the brazier, the installation of a cauldron or pallet are carried out at the final stage. After that, decorate is carried out. If there is a countertop, it can be decorated with a porcelain stoneware slab. The brazier itself is revetted with plaster, decorative stone, facing tiles, etc.

We looked at how to make a brick brazier yourself. A separate issue is the protection of the structure from the washing out of the solution. The problem is solved by processing with special compounds. It can be a heat-resistant varnish, an oil-based impregnating compound for stoves and fireplace masonry, a silicone water repellent, which also protects against the appearance of microorganisms in the masonry.

To ensure fire safety, the grill for the summer residence is lined with paving slabs. In addition to protecting against fire, it will create a level, comfortable platform. There should be no flammable objects in the immediate vicinity of the barbecue. Only non-combustible, heat-resistant materials are chosen for decoration.

DIY barbecue construction

It is just as important how you prepare your meals. Some of the work can be done at home, but some must be done on site, outdoors.

That is why these grills, which have a work surface next to the hearth chamber, and below it a charcoal chamber and other necessary accessories, are so easy to use.

BBQ Brickwork - The height at which the countertop as well as the grate with the baking utensils is located is usually around 80cm, but you can place them a little lower or higher to accommodate the height of the person who is more likely to be the chef.

Sedentary advocates can build a barbecue with the hearth and grate 50–60 cm above the ground.Rather, you don't grill alone, so you need to make sure there is room around the fireplace for both the chef and guests. It is best with an asphalt surface on which the garden furniture stands (or at the time of the meeting).

With the delights of baking, we can also enjoy the garden in the rain by placing the grill under cover. In the extended version, it is sometimes equipped with running water and light. However, before deciding on such an investment, we must ask ourselves: will we use this garden space often or only a few times during the season? Barbecue construction with photo examples:

Brazier-smokehouse

The design of the grill-smokehouse itself is a very convenient and practical product, since in one step you can cook a barbecue and smoke meat products

To start doing it yourself, you need to pay attention to important nuances:

• The size of the structure should be selected taking into account the number of people who will need to be fed. Too small products will not be convenient, since you will have to divide the cooking process into several approaches. Too large structures are not profitable due to the fact that not all of the surface will be used.
• How the product will be built: stationary or collapsible.
• The main material for the manufacture: metal or brick.

Features of building a smokehouse

In the construction of a smokehouse, it is recommended that the structure include a cover that will trap smoke for smoking products. There are several ways to make it:

• Build it sliding from two halves.
• Make from one half. In this case, it will be folding.
• Removable.
• Pushing in.

The base of the smokehouse can be placed on metal legs, or made of brick supports. The length of the legs can be selected individually. An additional table can be built into the design of the grill-smokehouse. With this option, it will be comfortable to cook food on the device.

When building this device, you need to be prepared for the fact that it will take a lot of time and effort. But the result will be useful for many years. A well-made construction is a guarantee that the prepared dishes will always be delicious.

Very compact smokehouse

The whole process consists of the same steps as the previous products. The difference is that the laying of bricks is done according to different drawings.

As for the facing work, it is also required to pay a lot of attention to this. You can use decorative bricks. Now there are a large number of its types, so outwardly the device can be made as the situation requires. Also, to make the entire location of the product look aesthetically pleasing, you can overlay it with paving slabs.

How to properly lay oven bricks

To successfully fold down a workable outdoor stove, be sure to observe the following masonry rules:

1. First fold each level as a constructor, without mortar. Fitting will allow you to accurately cut the stones in the right places and fit together.
2. Ceramic brick is soaked for 2-3 minutes in a container with water, then put in place. Refractory stone is only rinsed from dust.
3. The maximum thickness of the masonry joint on a clay-sand mortar is 5 mm. Excess threatens the formation of cracks.
4. Do not tie the fireproof wall to the normal one. Insert sheets of basalt cardboard into the gaps between mixed bricks.
5. Check the horizontalness of each tier with a building level, and the vertical with a plumb line.

Remove the solution protruding outward with a trowel, and wipe the inner surfaces with a damp cloth. If you lack experience, do not try to chop stones with a pickaxe, it is better to use a grinder with a cutting wheel for concrete.

How to build a large brick gazebo with a stove - practical advice

The desires of modern summer residents are quite comparable with the growth of the general well-being of Russian citizens. For many, it is no longer enough just a country house, a greenhouse and a bathhouse on the site. In addition, the plots have increased in size - the traditional six hundred square meters are a thing of the past, now suburban estates are ten and fifteen hundred square meters, and since not everyone wants to do only agricultural work in the country, there are many who also want to relax, the arrangement of recreation areas is increasingly taking the minds of the owners of summer cottages. For some, a light metal gazebo with a modest table and stools is quite enough, while someone is not averse to acquiring a fundamental and multifunctional structure, which can rightfully be called a brick gazebo with a barbecue oven. Consider the options for the construction of this object at a summer cottage.

Like any serious construction, the construction of a complex engineering structure, which is a brick gazebo, requires careful preparation with the obligatory design of all elements of the future structure.

First you need to decide on the type of gazebo, for which it would be most reasonable to familiarize yourself with the photo of gazebos with barbecue, and after analyzing the options you like and comparing the possibilities, start designing a specific structure, taking into account the features of the site and the functional purpose of a particular gazebo, if possible adding to standard projects individual traits.

Foundation device

After choosing a project for a brick gazebo with a barbecue, it is necessary to prepare the territory (for which the site is leveled) and to make a foundation. Since the load of the supporting structures of the gazebo will be significant, besides, the furnace itself has a lot of weight, the foundation must be made concrete, for which, depending on the characteristics of the soil, choose the desired type of foundation:

strip foundation - it is poured along the perimeter of the future structure with a deepening at a certain distance. When installing a strip foundation, a block under the furnace is poured separately. This type of foundation is suitable for dense soil that does not cause deformation.

with a heaving or swampy nature of the soil (subject to subsidence), it is necessary to make a foundation in the form of a monolithic slab, which will exclude the destruction of the structure from possible ground movements, since the entire structure will move together with the foundation slab.

BBQ types

The very concept of barbecue is of American origin and, in its meaning, is a device for cooking food on charcoal. We are more accustomed to the definition of barbecue or grill, but for a good product it is much more important to cook it correctly and tasty, and the name is secondary. In addition, the very process of cooking in a barbecue is a little different than on a grill, so the name also has a certain meaning.

A barbecue oven can be of a complex configuration with several compartments - a hearth, an oven, a metal grate and a chimney. Perhaps even a skewer device. Some projects provide for the presence of a tandoor. A real barbecue oven also includes several additional shelves for storing ready-made food and cooking utensils needed to prepare various dishes.

Barbecue ordering

When making a do-it-yourself barbecue oven, the drawings are drawn up taking into account the order of the barbecue, that is, the clear location of each row of bricks, depending on the requirements for the purpose of the oven, the composition and amount of materials (brick itself) and the geometric dimensions of the structure (taking into account all sections of the oven, including the chimney) ... An example of ordering is shown in the figure.

BBQ with cauldron

For a change, a metal cauldron can be built into the barbecue oven to additionally cook pilaf or vegetables. The design of the oven will allow these dishes to be cooked in the hot atmosphere necessary for high-quality stewing.

Since the hemispherical shape of the cauldron creates a higher temperature (and allows it to be held longer), the principle of long-term cooking of some dishes is kept remarkably well, and a barbecue with a cauldron can just become that special element of a summer kitchen that none of our neighbors and acquaintances has anymore.

Creating a Dimensioned Drawing

Before starting construction work, be sure to develop a construction plan. Consider in the project the size of the gazebo, the place for the fireplace and its area, as well as the materials for manufacturing. The initial stage of creation is drawing up a competent drawing, which will take into account all safety requirements.

Did you know? The beginning of the 1952 heating season in Great Britain was accompanied by smog hanging over the cities, consisting of coal combustion products. After the deaths of citizens, the government banned the use of coal heating, thereby sharply increasing the demand for waste-free electric fireplaces.

So, when creating a project, observe the following parameters:

1. When calculating the area, take into account the dimensions of the heating device. The ideal depth of a brick grill is 750-100 cm, width - 120 cm.
2. For convenience, on the side of the oven, it is advisable to provide a working table 60–80 cm wide, and next to it, plan to install a sink of the same width. On the other hand, set aside a place for storing firewood, while maintaining a similar distance (for proportionality).
3. In front of the barbecue, you need to leave a free space (about 1–1.2 m) so that it is not crowded during the cooking process, and the heat does not interfere with the rest. Thus, for leisure, allocate 8-12 m² of area, and for a barbecue - at least 240 × 175 cm.
4. In order to save space, you can install a stove in the corner of the gazebo.

1- spark arrestor, 2- small pipe, 3- large pipe, 4- Lateral upper left brick wall of the furnace, 5- right brick wall of the furnace, 6 - lower left brick wall of the furnace, 7- lower right wall of the furnace, 8 - rear brick wall , 9- main leg from the end (left), 10- main leg from the end (right), 11- rear lower painted wall, 12- brick shelf, 13- decorative panel, 14- main panel, 15- main table top, 16- right countertop, 17- left countertop with sink, 18- left additional stone leg, 19- right additional stone leg

Making a brick barbecue oven with a chimney

Consider the step-by-step instructions for laying a brick barbecue.

Required tools

• Master OK.
• Rubber mallet.
• Basin or trough.
• Construction mixer or stirring shovel.
• A long rail with a flat surface on which you can check the quality of work in the process.
• Roulette.
• Building level.

Material selection

For the street, facing and solid ceramic stone are suitable. It is recommended to use chamotte indoors - it withstands high temperatures better and conducts it worse. Outside, the stove cools faster than indoors.

Masonry mix preparation

Mix cement with sand in a ratio of 1: 3. To make the mass more mobile, lime or a special additive that increases plasticity can be added to the composition.

There is another recipe for masonry mortar. Clay is poured into the basin and filled with water. After 5 days, it is stirred by adding a little sand and cement.

Installation of walls

It is better to lay out the first row first without mortar, as shown in the photo gallery. This is to make sure that the dimensions are correct and that the number of prefabricated elements matches the length and width of the entire structure. To mark the seam, leave gaps of 1 cm.

The foundation is a reinforced concrete foundation. The bricks are laid in length. Each subsequent row is shifted so that the seam falls on the center of the product located below. It is difficult to break the ceramics into two equal parts.It is better to make a cut with a grinder with a concrete disc. The solution is laid in the same layer of 1 cm. For verification, use a reinforcing bar with a cross section of 1 cm or an order - a rail with dimensions applied to it. Every three tiers are checked with a tape measure and a building level. In order to correctly position the precast element, a rubber mallet is tapped on its sides and on top.

If the dressing cannot be done at the corners, they are reinforced with wire or perforated tape.

Installation of jumpers

When the walls reach the design height, horizontal supports are laid on them under the hearth and the countertop.

Methods for creating supports

• The row is placed on a metal plate embedded in the sidewalls. The blocks can be grooved and placed on steel corners, folded sides together. The sides should face up. They are placed in the grooves facing the bottom. A profile with a cross section of 45x45 mm has sufficient strength. Its edges should not protrude beyond the masonry. The depth of the slot is taken with a margin - steel expands when heated and can destroy ceramic products.
• Hollow products are strung on a reinforcing bar or frame and fastened with a cement-sand mixture.

The spaces between the lintels can be used to store firewood or kitchen utensils. Drawings and photographs of a brick barbecue will help you find a solution to how else to use this area.

Layout of the firebox

It is located at the level of the jumpers. Its bottom is supported by steel profiles. They are embedded in the walls. The hearth is a vault or rectangular chamber made of fireclay bricks. The binder is a special heat-resistant solution. It is sold in powder form. To properly dilute it with water, you need to study the instructions. The bricks are placed horizontally in two rows with a bandage protecting the lower seams. Instead of bricks from below, you can make a concrete screed.

The walls of the chamber are erected at the same time as the external ones - it is more convenient to work this way. A gap of 1 cm is made between them. It protects the outer coating from high temperatures, and the inner one from cracking with uneven thermal deformations. Prefabricated elements are connected in length.

To create an arch, you need a circle - a metal or wooden arch. It is fixed in the opening, and a row is installed on top, repeating the shape of the arc. The top brick is placed last in the opening. The neighbors rely on it and therefore do not fall. The arch is protected from the inside by a fire-resistant layer.

Pipe erection

No refractory materials are required. The rows are arranged with an inward offset by a third of the width, creating an elongated pyramid. At a certain level, they switch to flat vertical masonry.

The ribbed inner surface is more difficult to clean, so sometimes the ribs are cut or covered with flat shields.

The difference between barbecue and barbecue and grill

Shashlik is a favorite dish of Russians on vacation. The easiest way to grill a kebab is to use a disposable barbecue and skewers. But it is much more convenient and civilized to do this in the country, in a more complex device created with your own hands. All such devices - grill, brazier, barbecue - help the dacha chef a lot, but differ only in some design features.

The grill, barbecue and barbecue are designed for grilling meat, poultry, fish, vegetables and mushrooms over charcoal. They differ only in the complexity of the design and additional capabilities.

Brazier

This is the simplest cooking device: a rectangular metal box with legs without a charcoal grill. Smoldering coals lie right at the bottom of the barbecue, and the heat from them is directed from the bottom up. There are skewer recesses on the side walls at the top, and perforations at the bottom to create traction. It is often foldable and does not have a lid. It is easiest to take it with you on a picnic or on a camping trip, along with skewers or a wire rack.

Brazier - a rectangular metal box on legs without a lid and a grate for charcoal

Grill

The grill is different in that it has a grate for charcoal and a lid that allows heat to be applied from all sides, not just from the bottom. But if you put it aside, then the unit will work like a regular barbecue. In the grill, it is possible to regulate the air flow to the coals and the roasting product, for which there are dampers in the lower and upper parts. Sometimes he is equipped with an umbrella for collecting falling embers. The lid is a very useful thing. First, the speed of cooking increases; secondly, the finished dish turns out to be stewed rather than fried, which means that it is more useful.

The main difference between the grill is the presence of a grate and a lid.

B-B-Q

There is still a lot of controversy about the word "barbecue". It seems that all the same the best interpretation is its origin from the French "barbe et queue" - "from beard to tail." Initially, not pieces, but whole lambs or pigs were roasted on the wire rack. In Russian, this device received the affectionate name "barbecue woman". A barbecue differs from a barbecue in that it has a more complex device. There, like in an oven, there is a grate for coal, which provides good draft, and a grate for the product to be roasted. Like the brazier, the barbecue does not have a lid. This is a more complex and expensive device. Ready-made "mobile" barbecues are widely sold, which are a metal structure on high legs, often with a roof and additional folding shelves. They are inconvenient because it is advisable to remove them from the site in bad weather. In more expensive models, the distance between the food grate and the charcoal grate can be changed, which allows you to regulate the heat and makes cooking very easy. The heat in a barbecue is also directed from the bottom up.

Often the word "barbecue" is called a brick structure in a garden area

But often the word "barbecue" is called a large building on the site, "garden fireplace". It is usually built of brick or stone, with a solid roof and a preparation table. Often a cauldron (cauldron) and a sink for washing meat and vegetables are inserted into the “garden fireplace”.

Construction technology

High-quality ordering of a barbecue with a brick cauldron will allow you to preserve the structure for a long time and improve its safety during operation. This stage is very important and takes some time even for professional builders.

Foundation

We proceed to laying the base under the brazier with a brick cauldron

It is important to follow the sequence here:

Masonry mortar

At the next stage, we prepare the solution. To do this, take:

• 2 buckets of cement mixture;
• 0.5 buckets of slaked lime;
• 1 bucket of sand.

Mix the ingredients in a special container, mix thoroughly and bring the mass to a thick dough.

Plinth

Before you start laying a brick barbecue with a cauldron for mortar, fold the future barbecue in rows without mortar, dry. There are two important rules for implementing this stage:

• Keep in mind that between the bricks there will be a layer of mortar with a thickness of 5-10 mm;
• Always use protective gloves when adjusting bricks to avoid injury;

When everything "worked out" and the result suits you as an architect, proceed to the brickwork with mortar:

1. The laying of the base, that is, not the hot zone, is carried out in half a brick;
2. When laying bricks, be sure to check all horizontal and vertical lines with a building level;
3. When you reach a height of about 70 cm from the open side, place 2 steel corners 50 x 50 mm with the shelves facing up.They are needed, since from this place you need to lay the bricks of the fourth wall-sidewall of the barbecue;
4. Next, continue laying in 1/4 of the brick, that is, lay the bricks on the edge;
5. By placing the bricks on the side and back walls in 1/4 bricks, you will get a support ledge for the bottom along the entire inner perimeter. Keep in mind that these are already rows of the hot zone, therefore it is recommended to use refractory or solid red bricks.

Brazier

Before laying the brazier, decide whether to remove ash from the firebox. For example, install a metal tray that can be easily pulled out and cleaned of the combustion product. Many builders recommend constructing a firebox of at least 80 cm. This value is equal to 12 rows of brickwork. Close the top of the structure with a concrete slab and adjacent brickwork.

Walls and smoke box

The construction of a smoke collector is somewhat more complicated, but it is quite within your power. To do this, the walls of the focal zone, where cooking directly takes place, must be laid out higher, so that it is convenient for you. Then you need to "narrow" the pipe. We lay bricks, shifting each new row by half a brick inward. This is how the bell of the furnace is formed.

Decorative finishing

There are a huge number of options for decorating your home. Unleash your limitless imagination and apply all your creative skills.

There are several options for finishing the barbecue:

• plaster a brick brazier with a stove under the cauldron;
• revet with tiles and tiles;
• install metal cases;
• apply a decorative finish without facing by joining bricks.

Preparing for the construction of a barbecue with a cauldron

Before proceeding with the construction of the stove, it is necessary to decide on the place of its installation, sketch out a sketch of the future model and choose a suitable material for masonry.

Locating the location

The stove should not stand under trees or close to a flammable fence. It is optimal to put it near your favorite place for food on the site. The site should be large, then it will be convenient to cook. If you wish, you can build a stove with a sink, then you need to bring water and sewage to it. If this is difficult, then the stove is placed near the garden tap.

Material selection

A barbecue stove can be folded from river stone (this is very beautiful), from expanded clay blocks or ordinary red brick. But the surfaces in contact with fire are laid out of special refractory bricks, because all the materials listed above do not withstand high temperatures in the brazier or under the cauldron and crack. The same applies to masonry mortar. Places where the flame burns are laid out on a special composition. The solution for the rest of the furnace is also specific: the cement will not withstand even a low temperature, therefore, clay is used instead of the cement part of the solution.

An outdoor river stone stove looks impressive, but requires certain masonry skills

Model definition

Before calculating the amount of building material, you need to decide on the model of the "garden fireplace". The following aspects should be considered here:

• dimensions of the barbecue oven; if the structure is massive, it will need a foundation;
• location;
• the shape of the furnace compartment;
• the shape and size of the chimney;
• additional elements such as cauldron, sink, oven.

We chose a sophisticated oven to build. This is a barbecue grill with a stove for cooking and a cauldron, a project of master Valentin Bruy called "Stonehenge".

Author's project of a barbecue with a cauldron "Stonehenge" Valentina Bruya

Calculating the number of bricks

The calculation of the material is done after choosing a model with an ordering scheme. The approximate number of bricks in each row is considered, their type (refractory, silicate, ordinary) and shape are taken into account.Approximate calculations are made as follows: bricks are counted in the first, continuous row; the resulting number is multiplied by the number of rows and the so-called filling factor. For barbecue ovens, it is 0.65. We take into account that about 15% of the bricks will go to waste, this number should be increased to 30% if it is supposed to cut the bricks. They break at the same time.

Table: calculation of material requirements

Table: Tools Required

Foundation preparation

Before proceeding with the brickwork, it is necessary to prepare the foundation for the future stove.

1. For the foundation, mark the required area with pegs and thread with a margin of 1 meter on each side. In front of the oven, the stock can be made much more.

2. Dig a pit 30–50 cm deep. Considering the size and weight of the furnace, it is not necessary to make a strip foundation, but a slab.
3. Pour a layer of crushed stone or gravel about 10 cm high at the bottom of the pit; tamp the layer tightly.
4. Reinforce the foundation with a lattice of metal rods to make it more reliable.

5. Prepare a solution: 1 part of cement to 2 parts of sand, mix well, pour in at the same time so that there are no cracks. Allow the stove to harden well.

6. After the mixture has dried, cover the slab with roofing felt, preferably in two layers - to ensure waterproofing.

Before laying, ordinary brick must be soaked in water, otherwise it absorbs water from the solution, the solution will quickly dry out and be weak.
