Do-it-yourself barbecue: how to build an outdoor oven in the country, a drawing with dimensions and an ordinal brickwork diagram

Furnace Features

The structure is made of brick. It turns out a reliable and attractive outwardly summer hearth for frying. If you decide to build a barbecue with your own hands, it makes no sense to choose complex projects, build a whole oven complex. It is difficult in terms of work, and it will take a lot of money. You need to start simple. When you thoroughly master the masonry, you can think about something large-scale.

There are no cardinal differences between barbecue and barbecue. The only thing that catches your eye is the way of cooking. On the grill, meat is fried on skewers; on a barbecue, a grill is used. The outdoor grill and barbecue may differ in the presence of a cover. The first design is an open structure, without a chimney. It is usually present in a brick barbecue, but there are also models without a pipe.

The main features of the furnace:

• 2 workplaces – a hearth for frying and a hob;
• impressive size;
• often the presence of a chimney;
• at the bottom there is a container for storing and drying firewood.

This list is subject to change, it all depends on your imagination. In order for the stove to be efficient and last for a long time, we recommend installing it under a canopy or inside a gazebo. This will protect the masonry from blurring, exposure to sunlight.

From this video you will learn how to build a brick garden barbecue oven with a barbecue in the country with your own hands.

Types

The type of barbecue depends on your imagination and requirements. Usually the structure consists of brick walls with ledges. Heat-resistant sheets, a griller, skewers, a cauldron are laid on the latter. Therefore, it is very convenient when there is a canopy over the stove. And the food is protected, and the cook does not suffer from discomfort.

Any brick structure requires a foundation, or at least a prepared foundation. If you plan to build a compact stove, it is enough to build a platform with a hard surface.

The most popular outdoor cooking fires are:

• grill;
• B-B-Q;
• BBQ;
• a fireplace.

In the future, they can be supplemented with various functional components. As a result, it will be possible to create a full-fledged summer kitchen in the yard.

DIY construction

Self-construction is a creative process. Buying a ready-made design will cost a tidy sum. With modest skills, you can put together a simple and beautiful barbecue.

To create a stationary oven without problems, we recommend:

• draw up a work plan;
• purchase material with a small margin;
• prepare the tool;
• clean up the area where the work will be performed.

In practice, a small complex of a brazier, an oven and a work table is not too difficult to build.

with chimney

An ideal option when a gazebo with a stove are built at the same time. It doesn’t always work out that way, so let’s take a closer look at how to separately build a foundation for a barbecue.

Step by step site preparation:

1. A pit is made with a depth of 450–500 mm.
2. Then it is filled with crushed stone or gravel.
3. The base is leveled, the approximate thickness should be 30–55 mm.
4. Spilled with water.
5. They are ramming.
6. A metal mesh is laid on top.
7. Erect formwork around the perimeter.
8. Fill the pit with concrete mortar.

The foundation should be several centimeters below the floor. Moisten the base with water for the first week to avoid cracking. After 20 days, the structure will dry up, we proceed to laying the waterproofing.

The main workflow is laying the stove. In order for the construction to proceed quickly, without causing inconvenience, purchase refractory bricks in advance, make a clay mortar, a countertop of the required dimensions. Initially, the stand for the oven is laid out:

1. Lay out 1 row especially carefully, taking into account the ordinal markings. Form the 2nd row, controlling and alternating dressing. 6 rows move in this direction. The stand is made, there is a container for firewood, it would be useful to allocate space for dishes.
2. The seventh row overlaps the floor, the eighth row overlaps. The bottom of the furnace is formed. Fireclay bricks are used for laying. The tenth nearby is still equipping a firebox.
3. The masonry moves further, the space above the cupboard becomes smaller. This is for the cutting table. It is recommended to order a ready-made product. Mount it on the desktop bricks. The joints are coated with sealant.
4. The eleventh row will be the final for the firebox, it closes, its iron sash overlaps from above. The grille is mounted. Make sure that it can be easily removed, this is important for its maintenance.
5. From the 12th row, an oven is formed. To protect it, the front side is laid out in one row of bricks. Up to 16 rows form and complete the fry space. Perform brick bonding. The seventeenth row is final for the oven.
6. The eighteenth row is the vault of the brazier.
7. The nineteenth row is the transition for making the overlap of the frying container, follow the order. Bricks at the joints of the vault are formed to size. In the 20th row, the masonry is in order, 21 – covers the vault.
8. Next up is the visor. A brick layer is advanced along the 22nd row. To make the visor neat, carefully check the bandaging of the corners at the junction of the sidewalls with the back wall.
9. Now the chimney. The twenty-third row reduces the smoke hole, a so-called pipe is formed. The twenty-fourth row covers the frying chamber, 25 creates a lid.
10. The construction of the chimney itself starts from the 26th row, the 27th is the ligation of the first row of the pipe. Then it is raised to the desired height. Follow the dressing. The higher the pipe, the better the draft at the furnace.

By doing everything step by step, you can quickly build a structure, significantly increasing your masonry skills.

Without pipe

This option is common, it makes sense to install the structure in the open. In the gazebo, a corner barbecue without a chimney will spoil the rest, there will be a lot of smoke in the room. This stove is easier to build, the basic work algorithm is the same as above, only the construction ends on the 22nd row of brickwork.

Other options

The undeniable advantage of a barbecue is the possibility of modernization. The main design looks great in combination with a stove, barbecue, smokehouse, cauldron. This significantly expands the functionality of the stove. Closed cabinets are often installed on the sides, where kitchen appliances are stored. Do not forget that the weight of the barbeque increases, so there must be a solid foundation.

Building Tips

Professionals have compiled a whole set of recommendations for proper construction. Remember that before starting work, drawings are drawn up. Which oven option to choose depends on such moments:

• comfort of operation of the structure;
• material strength;
• building dimensions;
• the temperature range that the oven produces;
• combination of barbecue design with the landscape of the site.

Refractory, fireclay bricks are chosen as the main material. For laying we will use a clay solution.

The constructed foundation dries for about 20 days. After the stove itself was laid out, a few more weeks should pass. Only after the expiration date can it be used.

Garden BBQ Organically combines functionality and elegant appearance. The design will be a worthy addition to the site. Upgrading the stove, you can cook meat, first courses, pilaf in a cauldron, bake vegetables on it. To make the hearth for frying effective, make a trial firing, measure the temperature. It remains only to invite guests and experience a new barbecue!
