Watch barbecues and barbecues made of bricks. Self-construction of a brick barbecue oven is not difficult

Part compact corner barbecues may include barbecues for preparing the main course, wood-burning boxes for storing lumber near the firebox, a place for storing dishes - glasses, cups, salad bowls, an oven-cauldron for cooking aromatic fish soup.

In addition, a corner barbecue project may include sink for quick cleaning of the effects of rest and electric spit for roasting appetizing piglets with a crispy crust.

The masonry of the corner stove is usually made of stone or brick. In the choice of finishes, the imagination is not limited - it can be marble, decorative brick, tile.

If the owners of the future barbecue have a large budget for creating a stove, it can be equipped an electric stove built into the worktop, additional pipes, glass doors on the grill and other interesting accessories.

Diy corner barbecues: advantages and features

The main advantage due to which the owners of the site prefer a corner barbecue is its compactness... All components of the structure will be within walking distance, which will shorten the cooking time, but not reduce the pleasure of it. Other benefits include:

set of projects with great design in style country and classics;
the shape allows you to build a firebox directly next to the firebox.

But brick corner barbecues have several disadvantages:

need thermal insulation 2 walls, which increases the consumption for the construction;
more complicated installation constructions.

When choosing brick corner barbecue projects, please refer Special attention the ease of implementation of each element. If you need to attract specialists for the firebox or other part of the furnace, it is better to choose a simpler project. The main difference between ovens is their functionality - choose the one that fully suits your needs.

Building a corner barbecue on the example of a specific project

Before starting the construction of the furnace, you need to choose the ideal location, a project with a detailed and understandable drawing, purchase the necessary materials, think over the number and ways of implementing additional options.

Project selection

Unfortunately experienced stove-makers do not use orders in their work, therefore, on the network finished projects corner barbecues made of bricks are few. And yet, if you are thinking of building a brick corner barbecue, drawings and photographs of existing similar structures can be of great help in forming your own idea. Drawings are especially good, which indicate detailed order scheme of laying bricks: When you first build a corner barbecue, ordering helps get the job done quickly and without the fear of doing something wrong.

Price for individual project may be up to 50 thousand rubles, depending on the design.

Photo 2. Computer model of a barbecue oven for a covered gazebo. Although there are few brick-built corner barbecue projects on the Internet, it is quite possible to develop such a simple design of the future structure yourself.

The main difference between corner barbecues is in the corner of the barbecue in relation to the countertop and the stove... There are projects consisting of a countertop and a barbecue, there are more functional options... We will consider the construction of a corner barbecue using an example garden project "Grand corner"- with hearth, grill and chimney.

The choice of bricks for construction and finishing materials

There are no problems with the choice of brick, since it is permissible to use only red burnt brick... It fits on clay-sand mortar, as in any option for building a stove.

Attention! If you don't buy mortar clay from a hardware store or base, you should check it out. This check takes 2-3 days, and the purchased clay can be used to create the mortar immediately after purchase.

To check ordinary clay, a solution with it is used on 2 bricks. If, after drying during the day, they hold together enough so that they can be lifted in one brick, then the solution is diluted in the correct ratio.

To improve the appearance of the barbecue and create coziness on the site, after construction, the structure is lined finishing bricks or plastered with clay. The seams on the front side of the barbecue are neatly embroidered.

Estimate of materials for the purchase

Payment the required amount bricks for the construction of the selected masonry option (in rows):

34.5 + 35.5 + 11 + 9 + 13 + 25 + 21 + 18 + 16 + 21 + 21.5 + 15 + 13.5 + 10.5 + 10.5 + 10.5 + 10 + 18 + 19 + 14.5 + 16.5 + 17.5 + 24 + 26 + 28.5 + 21 + 19 + 14 + 16 + 17 = 546.5 pcs.

This is as far as the brick is concerned. But what building materials still need to build a corner barbecue? Let's list them, indicating the approximate amount required for the implementation of the selected project:

Red burnt bricks of the 1st grade - 546.5 pcs;
Cement - 150 kg;
Sand - 50 kg;
Water - 17 liters;
Crushed stone - 50 kg;
Furnace door - 1 pc.
Blowing door - 1 piece;
Steel sheet 5 mm - 2 pcs.;
Corner for lintels - 2 pcs.;
Bar 230 mm - 5 pcs.

Also check if you have the following tools:

shovel;
Master OK.

Foundation construction

The design of a corner barbecue includes 2-3 parts: firebox and slabs... If the barbecue consists of 3 parts, then 2 parts are placed hobs.

Foundation erection instructions:

the boundaries of the future structure are marked;
dug up the trench is 5-8 cm wider than the borders of the barbecue, the depth is calculated based on the composition of the soil (usually digging to sand or 90 cm and pour a layer of sand by 20-25 cm);
the bottom is covered with rubble or fragments of old brick;
done cement strainer from water, cement and sand in the ratio 0,5:0,5:1,5 (the mortar should be sparse enough to fill all the gaps between the rubble);
leave for a day to dry;
the surface is leveled, several layers of roofing roofing or roofing material are laid on top to ensure the waterproofing of the foundation.

Bricklaying process

Before starting the construction of the main part of the furnace, you need to soak the bricks in water and lay them damp.

The first row is laid with whole bricks on the edge and without mortar.

The second row is made in half a brick, the brazier will not serve as a heater.

The next row will include gap up to 2 bricks wide for free access of oxygen to the firebox through the flood.

Further, after 2-3 rows a hole is made for the convenience of the firebox, the size of which is determined based on personal preference. To avoid problems with cleaning in the future, the hole is made with minimum height 3 bricks and a similar width.

Inside the brazier is laid out without channels, the usual method... Should provide grate for collecting hot coals, for which inside the firebox are vertically installed 2 bricks.

The height of a corner barbecue depends on the height of the person preparing the food, the size of the gazebo or summer kitchen, if it is decided to build a stove there. Usually this 2-2.5 m, together with a pipe. Hob situated at a height of 1.0-1.2 m.

For the laying of facing bricks, the mortar used for pouring the foundation is used. You can plaster a corner barbecue with clay mortar and a bleaching emulsion.

Additional attributes to increase the comfort of using a corner barbecue

Lighting and electricity, as well as other additional attributes are set after the final drying of the finishing layer... Otherwise, you can accidentally damage the structural elements, ruining it. appearance.

To quickly and cheaply supply electricity to a gazebo or under a shed, you need to follow these steps:

is created wiring diagram- how exactly it will lie on the walls;
are made marks at the locations of the wires using a marker;
asbestos sheet cut into strips so that they protrude from the cable at least 50 mm;
the strips are attached to the canopy or the walls of the gazebo; insulating cardboard is laid between the cables;

Attention! When securing the wiring with asbestos sheets, you need to make sure that the cable does not dangle, but does not press down either. It is forbidden to drive a nail in the middle of the veins - this increases the danger of wiring and accelerates the destruction of the gazebo.

after connecting the wiring to the outlet and the switch, the elements of the electrical network are installed according to the instructions of the manufacturers;
the other end of the wire is connected to the protection and the cable is included in the network.

Electricity supply finished, now you can choose lighting or connect an electric stove built into the worktop. It is advisable to use the knowledge you just gained on wiring electricity to monitor the actions of an experienced electrician.

Attention! You should not settle for hidden wiring - it will cost more in terms of time and material costs, and will not particularly affect the appearance.

Ideal site for a brick corner barbecue

Best to complement summer kitchen or gazebo corner bbq oven- this way the cooking area will be protected from wind gusts and unexpected precipitation. But it is not necessary to build an additional structure - you can equip an area for installing an outdoor barbecue. Her minimum size- 2 * 3 m.

Each site has a place where the owners take a break from their various activities. This territory is divided into recreation area with a table, benches, a swing or a hammock; and a work room where delicious food will be prepared. A corner barbecue oven is most often placed in this part.

It is advisable to supplement such a recreation area washbasin and gazebo.

The corner barbecue will become the best option for small area, in one of the corners of which the foundation of the future furnace is poured.

Thanks to the chosen scheme, you can save a seating area or increase the space for installing additional attributes.

Layout will be a beautiful addition to the corner barbecue oven. working area paving slabs and creating a track to this zone from paving stones or stone... Remember, if this is not done, a path will still appear in its potential place in the summer, but made of trampled grass.

It is advisable to purchase beautiful Street lights for a comfortable stay in the evening and at night.

If you are going to build a barbecue in the country or in the courtyard of a private house, then the instructions set out here will be ideal solution... There is a lot of theoretical information and schematic drawings and pictures on the Web, but there is not enough to clearly illustrate the whole process of laying a barbecue from bricks from A to Z.

Consider the construction of a brick barbecue using a specific example (in practice). The technology was described at the forum "House and Dacha" by a professional stove-maker Anatoly from Chelyabinsk. Judging by the reviews and photos of the results of the laying of the barbecue complex, the skill of this person commands respect.

Brick BBQ masonry

Below is a master class on laying a brick barbecue with a step-by-step photo report.

For example, an extension of a barbecue to a blank wall of a brick gazebo will be carried out.

The barbecue is laid on concrete base(reinforced plate, 30 cm thick). Please note that a layer of waterproofing is first made under the barbecue oven (2 sheets of roofing material are cut to size).

As a mortar for laying bricks, a cement-based refractory mixture "Hercules" is used.

Expert advice: if you use a clay solution, then 200-250 gr can be added to a bucket of clay-sand mixture. cement M400.

Refractory fireclay bricks are used for construction. Specifically, for this design, a barbecue will need about 1200 pieces.

Masonry joint thickness:

for the heat-resistant mixture "Hercules" - 5-7 mm;
for oven mixture "Martel" - 3-5 mm.

Brick cutting:

Removing chamfers from a brick (sawing off a face, is done to give a brick decorative effect) - a tile cutter with diamond disc 180 mm

Brick cutting - done with a grinder with a 230 mm diamond blade

Before a sharp fireclay brick is soaked for 5-10 minutes, an oven red brick - from 20 minutes (the lower the grade, the shorter the soaking time). For chamfering (edge), the brick is only wetted.

Do-it-yourself brick barbecue ordering

The first row is half-brick (the so-called flask) and the second is made of whole bricks (the edge is lined with cut bricks).

Ladder is a special thin brick, in the example, fireclay brick is used, cut in half

Arched (bow) lintel made of brick

The photo shows how to make a support arc - a circle along which a brick vault will be laid out.

Material prepared for the site site

In this case, the width of the openings is 71.5 cm, therefore, boards are taken for making a circle with a length of 71 cm. There are formulas for calculating the radius of the arch, but the master determines it by simple markings using a thread.

You need to find an axis, for this, 14.5 cm is measured, and 2 cm are left at the edges. The numbers may be different, it is important that the highest point of the circle is at least 1/8 of the width of the furnace opening.

A rule or an even bar is applied to the board (the task is thus to simulate the continuation of the axis). As a result, we have 3 points. With a pencil, fixed on a thread, draw an arc. With an electric jigsaw we cut out a circle, along which we outline 2 more boards and cut out two more circles.

The bricks are applied to the circle and the points of contact that need to be cut are determined. Marking is applied to each brick and corners are cut with the help of a grinder.

The circle is installed in the opening and the heel (support) bricks are cut in place.

The assembly is carried out from the edges to the middle. At the end, a castle brick is inserted.

Marking the height of the bricks. Bricks with wedges under the seams are placed on the circle and a line is drawn with the help of a level to cut the bricks in height.

Conclusion

Naturally, the above shows the work of a professional stove-maker, however, if desired, you can achieve a similar result. Hopefully this guide will help you build a brick barbecue without the hassle of hired labor.

BBQ on summer cottage will allow you to cook delicious food right in the open air. The owner gets the opportunity to arrange picnics, parties and other events on their own plot, surprising friends with their invention. Arranging an outdoor stove is not the easiest thing to do.

Preliminary work

First of all, drawings should be made. Thanks to such drawings, the master will not only correctly build the structure itself, but also pre-calculate the amount of required building materials.

The drawing will have to be done independently, because it does not exist universal design B-B-Q.

There are only general guidelines that can be followed during construction. So, the grill itself should not be lower than 65-70 cm in height. At the same time, it should be convenient for the person who will work on it. The oven is usually placed 10 cm below the grill itself. In general, the oven is manufactured based on specific conditions. When designing, it is necessary to take into account every little thing, so that later there will be no inconveniences when using the device. For example, you need to calculate in advance where the tweezers will hang, and where you can put firewood and coal. The planning also takes into account the growth of the host.

When the drawing is ready, you need to write a list necessary materials... Do not forget about the materials for the foundation.

Seat selection

The choice of a place for a barbecue is made according to one main criterion - fire safety.
There should be no trees or dry bushes near the stove.
The stove should be located away from the main buildings (bathhouse, house, annex).
When building a barbecue, take into account the main direction of the wind. It must not blow towards buildings. In addition, it must be borne in mind that sparks can be attributed to neighbors.
Should not be erected next to a playground, gazebo, greenhouses.

Always remember the fire safety requirements.

When the right place is found, you can start laying the foundation.

Foundation

An inexpensive and easy-to-use monolithic is perfect for the design strip foundation... It is not necessary to deeply deepen it.

A trench about 40 cm deep is being dug along the perimeter of the future structure.
A mixture of crushed stone and gravel must be poured at the bottom of the trench. The bottom is thoroughly watered and rammed.
Reinforcing bars are laid on top of gravel and crushed stone. They should be folded to form a grid.
It remains only to make the formwork and fill the trench with concrete. For the foundation, use 300 grade cement.

Brick selection

To build a barbecue, you will need two types of bricks: refractory and facing.

Of all types of refractory bricks, fireclay bricks are the best option. He goes to the construction of ovens. There is a lot of clay in such a brick, and it withstands perfectly high temperatures... When choosing a facing brick, one should pay attention to the strength properties of the material.

In addition to bricks, mortars are needed for construction. To do this, you need to buy red clay, sand and cement. Clay is required for laying fireclay bricks. You need to make a clay solution from it. Cement with sand will be used for facing mortar.

Clay mortar requires red clay, sand, cement and water.
The clay should be poured with some water and left for about 5-6 days.
After that, you need to mix the clay with water until smooth.
Further, a little sifted sand and quite a bit of grade 200 cement are added to the composition.
All ingredients should be mixed. The solution is ready.

Step-by-step instruction

Work order:

Layout of the pedestal.
Furnace arrangement.
Pipe laying.
Final work.

Pedestal

The barbecue pedestal should ideally have a woodpile. The amount of firewood in it is for 3 fireboxes. The work uses the usual facing brick... The height of the structure is about 70 cm, however, the master can use his own dimensions.

Firebox and stove

When the pedestal is completed, you can proceed to the stove. It should be about 6 bricks wide, and about 3 deep in depth. There is nothing particularly complicated in laying out the stove, you just need to remember that there will be one more facing on top of the fireclay masonry.

Fireclay bricks are laid in two rows. In places of overlap, it is better to use reinforcing bars. The order of the barbecue is calculated in advance, at the drawing stage.

Pipe

The chimney is laid out of fireclay bricks on clay solution... A tooth is made behind the stove to improve traction. A valve is placed inside the pipe.

Final work

At the stage of final work, decorative trim B-B-Q.

Video: the process of laying a brick barbecue

A barbecue is very often confused with a barbecue or grill. In fact, delicious food can be made in any of the above devices. However, all three designs work differently.

The brazier is the simplest of these devices. He was seen by everyone who at least once in his life has ever tried barbecue. It is the kebabs that are most often prepared on the grill. For those who have no desire to bother with construction, buying a barbecue will be the solution to many problems. It is inexpensive, easy to transport to various locations and does not take up much space.

The grill today is used primarily in the electric version. This is a device in which the product rotates on a spit.

In the barbecue, you can smoke and dry a variety of foods. It can be used to boil, steam, and even bake. It's just that most people are not interested in all the functions of the device and are limited to the most common ones.

Precautions

When working with a barbecue, you must follow the safety rules.

The security measures are as follows:

You should not light a fire with kerosene or gasoline, there are special means for this.
When using ignition products, it is not necessary to saturate firewood or coals with them. Such compositions are used for spraying firewood.
Remember that good fuel is delicious food. Therefore, you should use approved materials for kindling. Connoisseurs use birch wood and charcoal to make food nutritious and flavorful. Using the wrong kindling materials can even lead to poisoning.

If you decide to buy a barbecue grill, it is best to do it online, as the prices are much cheaper. For garden barbecues wrought iron barbecues are best suited.

Scheme

A metal brazier is definitely good. But, in addition to functionality, I also want beauty, especially on the site: in the country or near the house. A brick barbecue gives an attractive look without sacrificing functionality. There are absolutely simple models, which can be folded, even without skill, in a day or two, there are more complex ones - whole complexes. We do not recommend folding such without experience, but try a simple barbecue oven or just a brick brazier. Master the masonry, the basic techniques, and then you can take on more serious projects.

Barbecue grill - what's the difference

There is no exact division between barbecues and barbecues. The main difference is that they cook on skewers on the grill, while berbekyu is made on a wire rack. But both of these cooking methods can be used even over a fire, so - for us in any case - that the grill, that the barbecue maker is one design.

It can also be classified by the presence of a roof. A brazier is always an open device, without a chimney. In barbecues, especially made of bricks, chimneys are often made, although there are also simple open models.

Simple brick grill

This design is very simple, easy to change to suit any needs and desires. It consists of brick walls, in which protrusions are arranged (the brick is placed on the edge). Heat-resistant sheets (metal, etc.), grates, skewers are placed on these ledges. Convenient, especially if there is some kind of roof over your head in case of precipitation, but it is built separately and at will.

Project and photo ready-made grill/ brick barbecue

Any brick building requires a foundation, or at least a prepared foundation. Not even this small brick barbecue. Since there are not many bricks - the wall is half a brick, a rammed platform lined with some kind of hard coating is suitable for this structure.

Preparation of the base

Remove the fertile layer, if necessary, deepen the pit. The depth should be about 20-25 cm. The dimensions of the foundation or platform are 50 cm larger than the dimensions of the furnace in all directions. The bottom is leveled, crushed stone of the middle fraction is poured onto it. The thickness of the crushed stone layer is 15 cm. It is well rammed. Desirable - a vibrating plate, if not, a metal or wooden rammer.

Further steps depend on the chosen base. If this is one of the coatings - paving stones, paving slabs and similar materials, then a layer of fine-grained sand is poured into which the coating is placed according to the level.

If selected as a basis slab foundation, it is reinforced with a rod of 10 mm in diameter. It is laid along and across the foundation with a step of 20 cm, at the intersection it is tied. If you do not know how to knit with special wire, you can pull it off with plastic clamps. Reinforcement with a finished thick wire mesh is allowed for this model. The formwork is exposed at the edges and everything is poured. Work can be started in a week if the average daily temperature was not lower than + 20 ° C, and after two, if it was + 17 ° C.

For this brick barbecue use corpulent ceramic brick M200. You can take a stove, but it is more expensive, you should not put fireclay: the temperatures are not the same and it loves moisture too much to feel normal in an open grill.

The masonry is carried out on a clay-sand mixture, to which a little cement is added for greater strength. For beginners, it is better to take ready mix for ovens, but not heat-resistant, without chamotte. Knead according to the instructions, the seam thickness is 3-5 mm, keep strictly. Constantly monitor the verticality of the walls and the horizontalness of the masonry. This is essential for the normal operation of the oven.

As you can see, everything is really very simple. Each odd row starts with a whole brick, an odd row starts with a half. In the 6th and 10th rows, bricks are placed on a spoon - sideways, and unfold across the main masonry. If you are making a barbecue - under the grate - in the same rows, the back wall is made of bricks, also placed on spoons, and to maintain the thickness of the masonry, they are placed in two rows, as well as the others - with dressing - offset seams. If you are going to use and ka brazier - for skewers - on back wall put the brick on the spoons too, making a ledge in this area. In front, as a support for skewers, a profile metal pipe small sections, cut to size. In it, under the skewer, you can make recesses.

Starting from the 7th row, the laying is carried out only in half - right or left - as you like, but this layout is given under the frying chamber on the left - it is wider, and there is a table on the left. If the opposite is more convenient for you, do a mirror image of this order.

Brick is a hygroscopic material, in order to reduce the amount of moisture that it will "pull" from the base and extend its life, waterproofing is needed under the first row. Can be stacked in two layers roll material(such as roofing material or waterproofing), walk along the perimeter with a hydrophobic impregnation. A layer of waterproofing between the first and second row will not interfere.

This is what one of the variations of a brick barbecue looks like without a table (if you don't need it, just ignore this part)

After the brick brazier is folded, it is left to dry in warm weather for 1-2 days, in cooler weather - 3-5 days. Then you can conduct a test run. Approximate "equipment" is shown in the photo of the finished barbecue. In this version, three rows of protrusions are made: the upper one is for products, the middle one is for coals, and the lower one is for collecting burnt coals and ash.

In order for the folded brazier to serve more or less for a long time, it is desirable to cover it with a composition that reduces hygroscopicity. For this case, the KO-85 varnish is best suited. And it would also be nice to provide some kind of lid: to close it in case of rain and for the winter.

Brick BBQ with chimney: ordering

This barbecue option is a little more difficult, but also not the most difficult. The most important thing is that the combustion chamber here has a straight vault, and it is much easier to make it vaulted. The brick frying chamber is raised to a height of 90 cm, the total height - to the beginning of the pipe - 217.5 cm.

It all starts with the preparation of the foundation. For this barbecue oven, only a monolithic reinforced base(reinforcement pitch 15 cm) on a base compacted with rubble. On the dried foundation, waterproofing is spread in two layers, then laying begins. If barbecuing is done in a gazebo, the first row of masonry should start at floor level. If the foundation is lower, lay out an additional row (or two) bricks, and then begin laying according to the above diagram.

The first 9 rows do not require any special explanation. They are laid exactly according to the scheme, observing the order, using halves and cut bricks, if indicated on the plan. It is imperative to check the verticality of the resulting walls, as well as control the thickness of the mortar - 8-10 mm and the horizontal laying of each brick.

To control the thickness of the seam, you can use a reinforcement bar of the appropriate diameter. It is placed on the edge, the surface of the row is filled with a solution, the excess is cut off with a trowel just above the bar. After laying and tapping bricks, it turns out even seam- the bar does not allow the brick to go lower than necessary. The bar is then removed and shifted higher.

To be able to lay the 6th row (solid), after laying the 5th, put a strip of metal 4-5 mm thick, 40 mm wide. Length - slightly less than the furnace span - 1450 mm. Strips are needed 3 - one on the edge, two approximately in the middle of each row of bricks, or as indicated below (11th row).

The layout of the next rows of barbecue is clear. Only in the 12th row, pay attention - you need bricks sawn along. It should also be said that the 12th and 13th rows are larger than the lower ones - forming a decorative "belt".

Fireclay bricks (ША-8) are marked in light color in these rows. They put it on the same composition of clay and sand (it is possible to add a small proportion of cement). It is better not to use mixtures based on chamotte: they need very high temperatures for sintering, which are unattainable in street barbecues. As a result, this solution may subsequently simply crumble.

On this part of the ordering, everything is also clear: we begin to shape the arch of the firebox. It overlaps on the 22nd row in which it gradually tapers.

The vault continues to form, which in the 30th row passes into the chimney. Next, the 30th and 31st rows alternate until the required height is reached.

At first, a few simpler options. You can make these brick barbecues yourself.

Variations on the same theme - original finish

Several barbecues that can be built with some experience, but it is better to entrust a specialist (if you find it, of course)

Meat, fish, vegetables, cooked by hand in a barbecue oven, have an impressive taste and special aroma. Laying out a barbecue oven is easy, observing necessary technology oven work. We have prepared for you detailed instructions with drawings and ordering so you can fold it yourself.

E. Gudkova's barbecue oven combines two functions well in one design - a barbecue grill and a hob with a hob.

Foundation

Materials (edit)

The main materials for a monolithic slab are: concrete, reinforcing mesh.

For the construction of the foundation, it is enough to use concrete for compressive strength B15 (M200). You can prepare it, observing the proportion:

Cement M 400 - 1 part.
Crushed stone or gravel, the size of which should be less than 30 mm - 4 parts.
Sand - 2 parts.

Impurities in the sand of clay, organic particles, mica, as well as dust-like inclusions should be no more than 10% of its volume. In a coarse aggregate (gravel, crushed stone), the amount of impurities that reduce the strength properties of concrete should be less than 2%.

Consumption of concrete components by weight per 1 m 3:

cement - 325 kg;
sand - 1300 kg;
crushed stone - 1300 kg;
water 205 kg.

Armature

For the reinforcement of the foundation, a mesh is taken from class AIII reinforcement

The size of the foundation is taken to be 10 cm larger than the size of the oven from each edge. If the furnace has a size of 1400x1000 mm, then the foundation will be 1600x1200 mm.

Tools

probe (for compacting concrete);
rammer (narrow), protected by metal;
rammer (round) with two handles;
rammer (square), upholstered with metal from below;
trowel (for leveling concrete);
scraper (for removing cement laitance);
half-scraper;
board (for smoothing concrete);
trowel;
shovel - straight cutting part;
shovel - pointed Bottom part;
mortar shovel.

Laying concrete mix

A properly selected and made foundation is a guarantee of the strength and durability of the entire structure. It is very important here to know what kind of soil will become the basis for the stove. A sufficiently dense soil may well support the structure of the barbecue oven. But there are pitfalls here that you need to be aware of.

There are soils that can change their volume due to soaking or a drop in temperature. These are swelling clayey, subsiding loess and with a content of soluble salts, water-saturated (ice increases the volume of the soil when freezing), with particles of biological origin (peat), etc. These soils require special measures to strengthen them.

The marking of the future foundation can be done by pulling the string over the pegs. The size of the pit for the sand cushion is taken by size foundation slab(160x120 cm). Since the barbecue oven will be located outside, the soil in winter period time will be subject to freezing and thawing. Depending on the type of soil, the depth of the sand cushion can be up to 1000 mm.

Filling the pit with sand must be carried out in layers (15 cm) with ramming, or with pouring water to seal. Before laying the sand, you can lay geotextiles on the ground, which allows water to pass through, but prevents the sand from being washed out by groundwater.

On the sand pillow you need to lay a waterproofing of 2 layers of roofing material. This will protect the concrete from water in the ground and keep the uncured concrete mix from flowing into the sand.

Formwork boards are used of coniferous and deciduous species with a thickness of at least 2 cm and no wider than 15 cm. The racks, to which the formwork boards will be attached in the future, are driven into the ground after 50 cm, and then reinforced with struts. Before you start styling concrete mix, it is necessary to clean the formwork from dirt and moisten.

Next, the reinforcement is installed in the formwork. Reinforcement mesh using vertical rods, they are tied into a volumetric frame, taking into account the distance between them and the size of the protective layer of the working reinforcement - 2 cm.

It is advisable to do concreting at a time. This will ensure that the concrete cures at the same time. Also, one should not forget about tamping the concrete mixture to remove the formed air bubbles and compact the concrete.

To maintain the moisture conditions necessary for the normal hardening of concrete, it is covered with a damp burlap, tarpaulin or other similar material. You can pour a layer of wet sawdust or sand on its surface 3 hours after pouring the concrete, which is periodically moistened (5 times a day). This mode is maintained for 7-14 days until the concrete reaches 50-70% of its strength.

Important! At an outside air temperature below +5 ° C, fresh concrete must be insulated to maintain a uniform setting mode.

The formwork can be removed when the concrete has reached at least 50% strength. In days it will depend on the air temperature:

+5 ° С - 12 days;
+10 ° С - 8 days;
+15 ° С - 7 days;
+20 ° С - 6 days.

In any case, the hardness of the corners and surface of the structure will be an indicator for the possibility of removing the formwork. It is possible to start work on the construction of a barbecue oven only after 2 weeks, taking into account the air temperature.

Materials (edit)

Refractory brick (chamotte) GOST 390-96.
Clay brick ordinary GOST 530-2012.

The furnace body is laid out of either refractory bricks or ceramic (necessarily full-bodied). Refractory bricks can withstand 1300 ° C and more. Ordinary clay bricks must be well fired. Unfired, hollow, silicate, and cracked bricks for oven masonry does not fit.

The oven will need bricks - 465 pcs.

Furnace appliances:

single-plate cooking hob 420x500 mm;
brazier grill 420x500 mm;
metal sheet 500x600 mm;
cleaning door 140x140 mm;
blower door 270x140 mm;
furnace door 250x270 mm;
grate 300x200 mm;
steel corner 32x32x4 mm, length 500 mm - 4 pieces, 600 mm - 6 pieces;
steel wire 2 mm - 10 m;
asbestos cord 5 mm - 10 m.

Clay-sand mortar

For furnace work, mainly plastic, most often red clay and fine sifted sand are used. The required proportion of the composition of the solution is taken based on the fat content of the clay. Fat content depends on the percentage of sand in it:

fatty - 2-4%;
medium - 15%;
skinny - 30%.

The composition of the solution (clay, sand):

fatty - 1: 2.5;
medium - 1: 1.5;
skinny - 1: 1.

Important! Before starting work, the clay is soaked for a day, and then, gradually stirring, add a little sand.

You can also buy ready-made mortar mixture for furnace work. Such mixtures withstand high temperatures and will significantly reduce the time required to prepare the solution.

Stove-maker's tool

Stove masonry is the same brickwork so the tool is basically the same for her.

1 - pickaxe; 2 - trowels; 3 - mallet; 4 - jointing; 5 - plumb line; 6 - level; 7 - square

Garden combi oven body

Work on the construction of the furnace body must be carried out only if there is at least a temporary canopy over it. For the convenience of work, you can lay out the case first dry, picking up a brick.

Important! Do not lay out the chipped side of the brick inside the firebox or chimney.

Before laying, the clay brick is moistened for 1-2 minutes. dropping into the water. Fireclay brick just rinse to remove dust. The thickness of the seam for clay bricks should be less than 5 mm, and for fireclay bricks - 3 mm.

During the production of furnace work, it is necessary to observe strict horizontal surfaces of each row and vertical corners. The ligation of the seams should be 1/2 brick.

All stove appliances are installed simultaneously with the masonry work. Metal and brick have different values of linear expansion, so all metal elements the stoves are installed with a gap of 3-5 mm, then this gap is filled with an asbestos cord.

Attached to the oven doors steel wire for embedding it in the masonry.

Ordering

You can install a cast-iron cooking stove, or you can also install a brazier grill if you wish.

When arranging the vault over hob the brick is installed on steel corners. Also, a grill or a cast-iron stove is laid on the corners. Chimney duct for garden barbecue oven you can make 270x140 mm, 270x270 mm, as well as 400x140 mm. The inner wall of the chimney must be plastered so that it is even and does not allow soot to accumulate in irregularities.

For fire safety a barbecue oven is installed no closer than 7 m from the walls of the house. The decoration of such a stove is chosen according to the taste of the owner. This can be jointing, plastering or tiling.

Drying the oven is carried out carefully, without haste. It is heated with a small amount of fuel for 3-8 days.

Any holiday on fresh air one can hardly do without deliciously cooked food on fire, which saturates it with the energy of nature. And a hand-made stove will embody any recipes of a hospitable host.
