How to make a brazier of bricks
Brick grill is a necessary attribute of a country house, it is possible to cook tasty healthy food with aromatic smoke on it. What can I say! Even the most ordinary meat, fish and vegetable dish does not compare with the food that is prepared on a conventional hob.
Location
As for the location of the brazier, it should be built so that the wind carries the smoke from the house towards the wasteland.
The brazier next to an arbor harmoniously looks - it is very convenient. Thus, it is possible to observe the process of cooking without interruption from the feast.
Construction technology
The first stage is the creation of a project and the selection of a site, as well as the purchase of materials necessary for the construction.
The second stage is the construction of the brazier. Before starting construction work, it is necessary to prepare construction equipment, auxiliary equipment, necessary material and to be patient and attentive, since it will be necessary to read the diagram.
So, let's start with a complete set of building material. You will need refractory bricks, wooden elements for the batten, cement-based glue for decorative heat-resistant tiles, sand, cement, gravel, rubble stone. Pieces of tiles and mesh of reinforcement, sheet plywood. And, of course, you will not do without a concrete mixer, buckets, shovels and bayonet shovels, a hammer and a construction level.
Foundation
When the preparatory work is completed and all the necessary inventory has been assembled, we proceed to the construction of the foundation - this is the basis of the above-ground structure. The more qualitative the foundation will be, the more durable the construction will be.
Foundation для мангала будет устраиваться на глубине 50-60 см и не глубже. Для него нужно будет вырыть траншею и создать песчаную подушку – это будет 1 слой фундамента.
On top of the sand cushion, a grid of reinforcement is laid in 10 mm and the formwork is arranged. The formwork is formed from sheet plywood and poured with concrete solution. After 48 hours, when the concrete formwork grabs, you can proceed to the device of the waterproofing layer. The waterproofing layer can be created using ordinary film or sheet of roofing material.
Mangal base
The base of the brazier can be any, it all depends on your financial capabilities and preferences.
The simple design of the basement consists of a compartment for firewood, a compartment for cooking meat and a compartment for cutting. If you are a fan of kebabs, then in that case the barbecue design is more complicated and it is arranged permanently. In this case, when you do not have special skills, you can experiment on a primitive construction.
- The height of the basement, or rather the height from the floor to the cooking surface, should be chosen for the person who will cook, it should reach a level just above the waist, so that it is convenient to work on the fire with your hands.
- Width should not exceed 35 cm.
- The length should not be more than 1 meter.
- Depth should be 12 cm.
Prepare the cement mortar with the addition of special heat-resistant aggregates, level and brick and proceed to laying the first row of the base. Align the first row to level, proceed to the laying of the second row, leading the butt joints to the side. Laying solid rows to be made to the level where the hearth will be.
The center is arranged on the foundation technology. The only difference is that the formwork will be constructed in the inner part of the basement. The side parts of the base are filled with protrusions, they will serve as grooves for the grille.
The grooves must be poured at various levels so that it is possible to control the level of heat.
Then wind walls are erected, and the brazier pipe is laid. The pipe is a heavy element, respectively, it must be installed on the supporting columns. The lower part of the pipe should be wider than the upper part. The upper part of the pipe is laid out of four bricks and closed with heat-resistant steel.
But, if there is no desire to build a pipe from a brick, then you can use a metal pipe. In this case, you can create an interesting design barbecue, combining several types of material in a single design.
Brazier with a roof
In order to prevent precipitation from falling into the hearth and destroying the structure, it is necessary to make a roof over the brazier.
You can also build a canopy, which can be of different designs. It is installed on a monolithic wall, racks of stone or metal supports. The visor must be constructed of heat-resistant iron, and the outer part must be covered with a waterproofing layer.
You can proceed to the decoration. The ideal option would be clinker tiles, forged items and cast iron. Do not deprive of attention and the site, it should also be in harmony with the design of the barbecue.
