Do-it-yourself brick tandoor. Do-it-yourself tandoor made of bricks is the simplest and most inexpensive photo, diagram

On the land, which to this day is used by many peoples, using it to prepare their national dishes. The simplicity of its construction and functionality is amazing. Therefore, if you want to make a tandoor with your own hands, our master class will help you with this.

Preparation for work, necessary materials and tools

To build a tandoor, you will need the following consumables:

Name of consumables and building materials	Quantity	Price, u. e.
Sand and gravel	150 kg	10
Cement brand M400	50 kg	6,2
Grid for masonry with a cell of 5 cm (for an area of 1 sq. M)	2 pcs.	3

Total		73

To work, you will need the following tool:

container for mixing building mixtures(concrete, mortar, facing mixture);
plastering rule;
spatula (width 12 cm);
paint brush (width 10 cm);
grinder with a cutting diamond wheel for ceramics.

Making the foundation for the tandoor

Despite the fact that the tandoor is a light oven structure, it will be installed in the open air, therefore, a solid foundation is needed under it.

First, determine the type of soil, if you have heaving, heavy (clay, loamy or lowland) soils, then they need to cast a reinforced foundation. This problem will be solved columnar foundation. If the soil is light (sandy loam, sand or soddy-podzolic), then you can simply cast a monolithic concrete slab.

The base of a standard tandoor is 100x100 cm, thickness monolithic slab the foundation for such a structure is enough 10 cm. Along its perimeter, we select the soil to a depth of 15 cm, at the corners of the slab we make recesses to a depth of at least 70 cm and a diameter of 12-15 cm.

We reinforce the resulting holes (we recommend fiberglass reinforcement with a diameter of 6 mm, connected by a quadrilateral as a reinforcing rod), and fill it with concrete. Concrete is prepared in a ratio of 3: 1: 1 - one part of gravel (with a fraction diameter of not more than 1 cm) and one part of cement grade not lower than PC 400 are taken for three parts of sand. The mixture should resemble thick sour cream in consistency (porous formations form in more liquid , and a thicker one will not fill all the voids).

We fill the recesses above the level of the bottom of the pit by 5 cm. This can be done using a formwork 5 cm high laid on the bottom. To simplify the formwork, you can use a container tape, folding it into a ring or any similar material.

After that, we pour sand at the bottom of the pit, which will play the role of a damper cushion. The height of the sand layer should not be higher than the recess molds. Then we spill the sand abundantly with water so that there are no cavities in it, and we lay the formwork for a monolithic slab on top.

As a formwork, we use an edged roofing board 15 cm wide (10 cm in the ground and 5 above the ground). On the sand cushion we lay the reinforcing mesh (ideally, if you fix it 5 cm from the level of the sand cushion). Be sure to level everything with a level and then fill it with concrete.

Concrete sets for at least 72 hours, during which time we will prepare a rule and bricks of a certain shape.

Masonry base tandoor

As the main building material for the tandoor we will use refractory (fireclay) bricks. It is dense enough not to adsorb moisture on itself at the moment of temperature difference, and, as a result, practically does not collapse under the influence of seasonal temperature fluctuations.

The base of the tandoor is a circle; in order to form it, we draw a circle along the pattern (diameter 75 cm). Then we lay out the bricks, numbering them in order so as not to get confused, and using a cutting wheel, carefully cut off everything superfluous from each brick.

On the concrete base we lay roofing material for waterproofing from groundwater.

As a connecting solution, we use a refractory furnace mixture for fireclay bricks(sold in any specialized store). The usual clay-sand mixture cannot be used, because it:

cracks quickly due to temperature changes;
does not form a rigid coupling with fireclay bricks.

The mixture is thoroughly kneaded and then applied with a spatula to the roofing material. On top of the mixture lay out the scraps of bricks, according to their numbering.

Making a "rule" for the tandoor

Now we make a rule for laying walls, as indicated in the photo above. According to tradition, the width of the base of the tandoor should be equal to its height, while the neck should be 1/3 less than the base.

Therefore, we collect the rule of the following sizes:

pole height - 1 m;
base length 30 cm, second level 25 cm and third level 20 cm;
step between guides 25 cm;
a piece of plywood was used as a template for a vertical wall (you can use a lamella from the bed on which the mattress is placed).

We raise the walls of the tandoor

All bricks are stacked upright. Therefore, the strength of the installation of the first row is very important for the whole work.

We put the bricks on the base of the tandoor, put the inner edge close, and coat the seam with mortar.

After the first row is laid out, we tighten it steel wire. We twist its ends and hide it in the seam between the bricks (the wire will remain on the tandoor).

Lay out the second row in the same way. However, starting from the second row, the bricks will have to be cut (through one) into a wedge.

At the same time, we also lay the inner end faces as tightly as possible, and thoroughly coat the outer faces with a solution.

After the third row has been brought out, we begin to plaster the tandoor with an oven mixture.

The total layer of plaster over the tandoor should be at least 10 mm. We form the upper edge in the form of a roller.

After the solution layer dries (at this time the tandoor should be covered with a cellophane film from rain and shaded so that it does not dry out from direct sunlight), we cover it with acrylic refractory paint, although it is customary to whitewash the tandoor in the East.

As the solution dries out completely (not earlier than after 72 hours), the interior of the tandoor is cleaned of sagging, dirt, etc. - this is best done with a hard broom.

Tandoor is ready. You can fry cakes and treat guests.

Building a brick tandoor Lately attracts more and more people. Today we will tell you how to make a tandoor with your own hands from brick.

Although at first glance, this simple work but this one is not. If you take the classic version, then it is difficult to make it. But for beginners there is modern methods, you can practice on this.

Device and principle of operation

To decide how to make a brick tandoor, you first need to understand the principle of the system. After all, without knowing this, there is nothing to get to work. Tandoor is a kind of clay vessel designed for cooking various dishes.

In the lower part of the vessel there is a blower to provide draft, and in the upper part there is a hole designed for laying fuel and installing cooked dishes.
To increase the efficiency of such a stove, a clay vessel is lined with bricks, and a material capable of storing heat for a long time is poured between the brick and the clay base of the stove. It can be sand, salt, clay, etc.
The heat released during the combustion of fuel is accumulated, while the walls of the tandoor are heated to a temperature of 250ºС-400ºС, and the temperature conditions in the tandoor are maintained for 3-4 hours.
Throughout this period, bread can be baked in the oven, boiled or fried. The design of the furnace allows the accumulated heat to be released not outside, but inside the furnace, due to which such high efficiency is achieved.
The heat in the tandoor spreads evenly throughout the entire volume, thanks to which the meat is fried evenly, the pilaf turns out to be unique, and the bread is surprisingly fragrant.

Method for making clay tandoor

Real masters use classical ancient technology, which lies in the fact that the tandoor is molded, not built. Clay of Akhangar origin, which has high thermal insulation characteristics, is taken as the basis.

So that the furnace can resist high temperatures and no cracks appeared on the clay structure, camel or sheep wool. Making a brick tandoor is a modern and more affordable option.

Attention: Making such a stove with your own hands is quite difficult, since the exact composition of the clay solution is not known. Therefore, the composition will important point manufacturing.

Technology can have the following operations:

Clay (kaolin) is mixed with wool (fiber size can be in the range of 10-15 mm). The finished mixture should be viscous and, in consistency, resemble thick sour cream.
After that, the clay mixture, within a week, dries up and reaches its condition. Throughout the entire drying period, the mixture is constantly stirred to obtain a homogeneous mass. If during this period, moisture appears on the surface of the solution, it must be immediately drained. IN ready mix there should be a minimum of moisture, and in consistency, the mixture should resemble a dense homogeneous plasticine, from which various figures can be sculpted.
From such a plastic material, you can begin to sculpt a tandoor. Work begins from below, in a circle with a constant rise upwards. Tandoor has standard sizes: height - 1-1.5 meters, main diameter - 1 m, neck diameter - 0.5-0.6 meters.
At the initial stage of modeling in the lower part of the vessel, a hole is left for the blower. The wall thickness of such a vessel lies within 5 cm.
After the process of forming the tandoor is completed, and it will really resemble an earthen vessel, 1 m in diameter, having a narrowing and a neck, 0.5 m in diameter, the finished structure is left to dry in the shade for 1 month.
After the base of the tandoor dries and there are no cracks on it, it is installed in the right place and covered with mammoth bricks. As the masonry rises to the furnace neck, sand, clay or salt is poured into the space between the masonry and the clay structure and carefully compacted. At the same time, it is necessary to control efforts so as not to disturb the masonry. As a solution, you can use a traditional clay solution, with the addition quartz sand and plasticizer.
Then, the resulting structure is coated with cottonseed oil. Naturally, such an operation is carried out from the inside of the tandoor.
In conclusion, the most important operation is carried out, which can last for 24 hours. During this time, the clay acquires the properties of ceramics, while the firing temperature rises slowly so that the furnace does not crack.

Simplified design of a tandoor with a barrel at the base

Some craftsmen, having tried to make a tandoor with their own hands, point to the fact that you should have some experience to make it. As a result of such efforts, it is not possible to obtain a perfectly even structure around the entire circumference: there it is oblique, there it is crooked.

As a result of this, a new approach and developed new technology making such a stove. This technology is based on the principle of obtaining a similar design in the process of forming the base of the tandoor, using a wooden barrel.

For this you need:

Kaolin (clay).
Fireclay sand with a grain size of up to 0.5 mm.
Camel or sheep wool.
Wooden barrel.
Vegetable oil.

The works are as follows:

A barrel is taken and filled with water so that the wood swells, after which the water is drained and the barrel is given some time to dry out a little.
During this time, a clay solution is prepared in combination: 1 part of sand, 1 part of clay and 0.5 parts of wool, after which it is left for several days until the desired consistency and uniformity are obtained.
Before the formation of the tandoor, the inner surface of the barrel is lubricated sunflower oil and left for 12 hours for impregnation.
After that, they begin to apply the clay solution to the inner walls of the wooden barrel. The thickness of the layer can be in the range of 4-5 cm. A small hole for the blower is left in the lower part of the structure. A neck of the required size is formed in the upper part.
After completing the sculpting process, finished construction together with the barrel, placed in the shade to dry. This process can take 3 weeks or more.
After drying, and together with the clay structure, the wooden one also dries, which at the end of drying will lag behind the clay one, wooden barrel understands. To do this, metal hoops are removed from the barrel.
The liberated tandoor is installed on a thick sand cushion, after which they start firing it. To begin with, it is bred in the tandoor small fire and it is maintained for 6 hours, after which the tandoor is covered with a lid and, adding fuel, bring the temperature to the maximum.
After that, a slow cooling process is performed, which can last up to 6 hours. We can safely say that the Asian stove is ready if no cracks are found on its surface.

Attention: In order for the tandoor to become a real tandoor, it should be lined with bricks and insulated with clay or sand to increase energy efficiency.

Modern version of the tandoor

Making a classic Asian clay tandoor requires not only skill, but also patience. Get the first time a design that will not fall apart before it is finally installed, going through all technological processes, quite difficult and most likely that it will be like luck. How to make a brick tandoor, now we will consider in detail. Its price will not be high and therefore worth a try.

To begin with, we make a brick tandoor project. It can be a brick tandoor horizontal and vertical.

Attention: A horizontal brick tandoor will do a little harder than a vertical one. Here, just fastening the brick will need to be propped up until it dries completely.

In order not to take risks once again, you can make a stove, like a tandoor, but from refractory bricks. Though appearance such a stove will be somewhat different, but it will perform its functions.

To make a brick tandoor, you need to have the following materials:

Brick for tandoor will need fireclay
You will also need a clay mortar for masonry.
Chamotte clay (kaolin).
Cement, sand, rebar, gravel.
Wooden template.

Attention: The dimensions of the brick tandoor in this option you choose yourself. It all depends on the area and your desire.

The work on the manufacture of the ala-tandoor oven involves the following steps:

Stage number 1. Foundation construction

For starters, you need to find appropriate place, after which, a hole of a suitable diameter is dug.

Usually, the diameter of the pit is slightly larger than the diameter of the future stove.
Sand for a pillow is poured at the bottom of the pit, 10 cm thick. Reinforcement is laid on top of the pillow and poured with concrete mortar.

Attention: In this case, it is necessary to control that the surface is horizontal. To do this, you can use the building level.

Stage number 2. Laying brick walls of the furnace

In a circle, with a diameter of 1 meter, the walls of the future furnace are laid out.

At the same time, the brick is installed on the end, and with the help of a wooden template, a regular circle is formed.
Masonry is carried out using a furnace mortar made on the basis of chamotte clay, quartz sand and a plasticizer.
In the lower part of the brick structure, an opening for the blower should be left. To do this, you can use a metal blower door.
For a furnace with a height of 1-1.2 m, it is enough to lay out four rows of bricks placed vertically on the end.
From the last row of bricks, it is necessary to form the neck of the tandoor, for which the bricks are laid at a certain angle.

Attention: You may have to cut them with a grinder, otherwise it will be difficult to form a neck. The slope is made inside the brick structure.

Stage number 3. Clay coating and finishing

FROM inside, the structure is coated with a layer of clay, about 5 cm thick, and from the outside the structure is finished with natural stone.

Stage number 4. kiln firing

The kiln firing technology is the same as for firing classic tandoor. First, the structure should be simply dried with a small fire. And about three times. After that, you can already use the tandoor for its intended purpose and are not afraid of anything.

How to build a brick tandoor you now know. I want to say right away that the construction of clay in manufacturing will be less laborious.

Only here you need to pick correct composition. It is easier to make a brick tandoor, but it will not be quite a classic. So look at the photo and choose your option.

Tandoor is a vertical brazier used in Asian countries. Fragrant cakes, barbecue, real pilaf and much more can be cooked in this wonderful oven in a few hours. How to make a tandoor with your own hands from brick? The portal site will help you figure it out and provide several options for building.

Brick tandoor scheme

There must be insulation between the outer and inner contours. The outer contour may have different shape. In this case, concrete blocks were used as the foundation.

Be sure to arrange a blower. This part facilitates maintenance and increases safety.

Step-by-step instruction

How to build a large brick tandoor? Step-by-step instruction:

We draw the project. We dig a pit with a diameter of 1 m to a depth of 200-300 mm.
We make a sand base for the foundation. Pour sand in a layer of 100 mm and carefully compact.
We fall asleep with sand
We reinforce the foundation. We use a wire mesh VR-5 with a cell of 150x150 mm. Sold in hardware stores, in rolls of 6 meters.
The mesh must be completely filled with concrete. Minimum Thickness protective layer - 40 mm. To do this, the grid is laid on bricks.
We fill the resulting structure with concrete. For the construction, concrete grade B12.5 is suitable for us. The recipe is beyond the scope of this article. Concrete must be carefully compacted. Horizontal control is carried out using a level.
Checking the level
To gain strength, we withstand the base for seven days. In summer, be sure to moisten with water.
We insulate the bottom with fireclay bricks.
We mark the inner contour of the future furnace at the bottom. In a clockwise direction, we begin to arrange the bricks along the contour. Lay out in 2 rows of ½ bricks. To make the design look neat, we will make wooden pattern. In the bottom row we leave an opening for the blower.
We start laying

We leave a place for a blower and an ash pan

We put the grate

Don't forget to check the level.
We are waiting for the structure to dry (the site recommends waiting at least a day).
Outside, we insulate the inner contour in 2 layers. As a heater, basalt wool is suitable.
We mark and lay out the outer contour. The top row is carefully coated with clay. Verticality is controlled using a template. We adjust the brick to the template, cutting off the end with a grinder.
Laying out the outer contour

End of work
You can weld a fixture for attaching skewers.
