In our guide, we will tell you how to make a barbecue outdoor complex and a brick barbecue oven yourself. Step-by-step instructions with a photo of the construction process will help you understand the details of the self-laying of this structure.
As a result, you should get a barbecue grill as shown in the photo below.
So, you have decided on the type of barbecue, its size and location. Now you need to build a foundation for it.
Usually such buildings are made on the street, in a gazebo or on a terrace. If the foundation of the gazebo or terrace can withstand the weight of a brick oven, which is about 3 tons, then you can start building immediately. If you are going to build a brazier from scratch, then first of all fill in a suitable foundation under it: tape or tile.
Instructions for the construction of such foundations can be found in our section "".
The next step will be a waterproofing device for a brick barbecue. It is done to prevent the lower bricks from getting wet by capillary suction. It will be enough to lay a roll of roofing material or waterproofing. At the end of the construction, cut off the excess with a knife.
We proceed directly to the laying of the barbecue.
We recommend that you first lay out the first row of bricks without mortar and evaluate how your future structure fits into the foundation. Do not forget to leave 1 cm gaps between the bricks. Also check the diagonals, they must match.
After that, you can start laying barbecue. The front brick is placed on a cement-sand mortar (cement-sand ratio 1: 3). For the plasticity of the solution, lime or a special masonry plasticizer from the nearest hardware store is added. The seams are made in sizes of 8-10 mm, for this they use a metal rod, reinforcement, etc. In places where bricks adjoin without dressing, the masonry is reinforced with perforated tape, wire, etc.
We make laying with the displacement of each subsequent row by half a brick. For sawing bricks, you will need a grinder with a stone disc.
We continue to lay out the barbecue grill.
Do not forget to check the verticality of the masonry in the corners at least every 3 rows. And also, check the coincidence of the length of the diagonals of the brazier.
We continue laying.
After you make 8 rows of masonry, it's time to make jumpers for the barbecue and countertops. They should look like the photo below.
There are several ways to make such jumpers.
First, you can fasten the bricks with a metal stud and mortar.
Secondly, you can use metal corners.
In our case, we used the second method. We folded the corners with each other in the form of an inverted letter T and sawed off half of the shelf. Here's what happened.
Take a corner with a size of at least 45x45 mm. A smaller corner will sag. But do not take too big so that it does not protrude beyond the edges of the brick.
Make a slot in the brick with a good margin so that the metal does not tear the masonry when heated.
Such a shelf is not visible to the eye, reliable and beautiful.
We begin to lay out under (bottom) the brazier. We use refractory fireclay bricks for the firebox. We make laying on a ready-made refractory mixture from a building supermarket from clay and sand. Can be used mortar. We make the seams as thin as possible, about 3-4 mm.
We use corners to support the bottom of the brazier. Remember to leave at least 1 cm gap between the ends of the corners and the brick. So you save the masonry from cracking when expanding the corner.
On the first row of the bottom of the firebox we put the second row, overlapping all the seams of the first. This will prevent the seams from burning through and coal from getting on the firewood in the firewood from below. You can, of course, pour concrete slab instead of corners and the first row of the firebox. But in our case it was cheaper and faster to do so.
If you are pouring a concrete floor, then one row of refractory bricks is enough for the bottom of the firebox.
We continue to lay out the walls of the barbecue.
The laying of the front brick and the firebox can be done both in parallel and alternately. You can first make the walls of the firebox, and then overlay it with a face brick.
Important! We leave a gap of 1 cm between the facing and refractory bricks. The firebox and lining should not touch.
We put the next rows of barbecue ovens.
We approach the moment of construction of the furnace arch. We make a circle (an arc structure made of wood) and install a brazier in the portal. Then, we carry out the laying of the arch, cutting the bricks to the desired size. In the middle of the upper point we put a brick castle. The arch is ready.
Note! The front brick arch is covered from the inside with a fireclay brick lintel. It is placed on a metal corner a little higher than the top of the arch so that it is not noticeable. It looks like this.
The arch is assembled, we continue to display the walls of the barbecue grill.
Do not forget to check the verticality of the masonry.
We are approaching the moment of construction of the smoke box.
We bring the top of the firebox and lining to the same level and begin to lay out the smoke box. We make masonry from solid brick brand not lower than M150. We put on a cement-sand mortar. We put the first row flush with the inner wall of the firebox. The remaining rows are laid with an offset of about a third of the brick.
Don't move the bricks more than half way or they will fall into the firebox.
We carry out the laying of the smoke box until the moment when there is no hole for the chimney measuring 27x27 cm, taking into account the seams. Your chimney size may differ from ours. In this case, make a flue according to the dimensions of your chimney.
Some stove-setters cut off the inner edges of the bricks so that the inside of the smoke box is smooth. We did not notice any differences in operation between the smooth and ribbed inner surface of the smoke box. Of course, this is only true if you observed the correct proportions between the dimensions of the portal - the smoke box - the pipe (read about the proportions below).
This is what the smoke box looks like without cut bricks from the inside.
We continue laying pipes. Its dimensions depend on the size of your barbecue grill portal.
After finishing the laying of the chimney, we cover it with a cap to protect the firebox from precipitation.
We successfully built a brazier, which is also a barbecue oven made of bricks with our own hands! Wait until the solution dries and you can do a test run.
Here we will analyze the most frequently asked questions about masonry. brick barbecue(grill) with their own hands and the answers to them.
The size of the smoke box depends on the size of the furnace portal. The optimal ratio should be at least 100-120%. So in our step by step instructions the height of the portal is 6 rows, and the height of the smoke box is 8 rows.
The height of the pipe is proportional to the height of the smoke collector and is not less than 100-120% of its height.
The cross section of the chimney pipe depends on the area of the furnace portal. The optimal chimney area is 1/8 - 1/10 of the portal area. Extreme sizes from 1/6 to 1/13.
In front, around the portal, you can fill the gap with basalt cardboard. The rest of the space does not make sense to fill. Therefore, it is left empty.
Part compact corner barbecues may include braziers for preparing the main course, firewood for storing lumber near the firebox, storage space for dishes - glasses, cups, salad bowls, a cauldron oven for cooking fragrant fish soup.
In addition, a corner barbecue project may include sink for quick cleaning of the effects of rest and electric spit for roasting mouth-watering piglets with a crispy crust.
The masonry of the corner stove is usually made of stone or brick. In the choice of finishes, fantasy is not limited - it can be marble, decorative brick, tile.
If the owners of the future barbecue have a large budget to create an oven, it can be equipped built-in electric stove, additional pipes, glass doors on the grill and other interesting accessories.
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 reduce cooking time, but will not reduce the pleasure of it. Other benefits include:
But brick corner barbecues also have several disadvantages:
Photo 1. The chef is busy near the brick barbecue oven, preparing a dish for two ladies looking forward to the treat. For more than a decade, brick corner barbecue projects have become the choice for hospitable hosts. country houses.
When you choose brick corner barbecue projects, pay attention to Special attention on the ease of execution of each element. If you need to involve specialists for the furnace or other part of the furnace, it is better to choose a simpler project. The main difference between ovens is their functionality - choose the ones that fully meet your needs.
Before starting the construction of the furnace, you need to choose the ideal location, a project with a detailed and understandable drawing, purchase necessary materials, think over the number and ways of implementing additional options.
Unfortunately, experienced stove-makers do not use orders in their work, therefore, on the network finished projects brick corner barbecues are few. And yet, if you are planning to build a brick corner barbecue, drawings and photographs of existing similar structures can be of great help in forming your own idea. Particularly good are the drawings, which indicate the detailed brick laying pattern A: When you first build a corner BBQ, ordering helps you 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 projects of brick corner barbecues on the Internet, it is quite possible to develop such a simple design for the future structure yourself.
The main difference between corner barbecues is in the angle of the barbecue in relation to the countertop and 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.
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 version of the construction of the furnace.
Attention! If you do not buy mortar clay from a hardware store or a base, you should check it out. Such a check takes 2-3 days, and purchased clay can be used to create a solution immediately after purchase.
To test ordinary clay, a solution with it is used on 2 bricks. If, after drying during the day, they hold together enough to be lifted with one brick, then the solution is diluted in the correct ratio.
To improve the appearance of the barbecue and create comfort on the site, after erection, the structure is lined with finishing brick or plastered with clay. The seams on the front side of the brazier are neatly embroidered.

Calculation of the required number of 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 about the brick. But what building materials will be required for the construction of a corner barbecue? We list them, indicating the approximate volume required for the implementation of the selected project:
Also check if you have the following instruments:
The design of the corner barbecue includes 2-3 parts: firebox And plates. If the barbecue consists of 3 parts, then 2 parts are placed hobs.
Instructions for building the foundation:
Before starting the construction of the main part of the furnace, it is necessary 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 half a brick, the brazier will not serve as a heater.
The next row will include span up to 2 bricks wide for free access of oxygen to the firebox through the firebox.
Further, after 2-3 rows a hole is made for the convenience of the firebox, the size of which is determined based on personal preferences. To avoid problems with cleaning in the future, the hole is made with minimum height 3 bricks and the same width.
Inside the brazier is laid out without channels, in the usual way. Should provide grate for collecting hot coals, for which inside the firebox are vertically installed 2 bricks.
The height of the corner barbecue depends on the height of the one who will cook 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 along with the pipe. The hob is located at a height of 1.0-1.2 m.
For laying facing bricks, a mortar is used to fill the foundation. You can plaster a corner barbecue with clay mortar and bleaching emulsion.
Lighting and electricity, as well as other additional attributes are installed after final drying of the finishing layer. Otherwise, you can accidentally damage the structural elements, damaging it appearance.
To quickly and cheaply bring electricity to a gazebo or under a canopy, you need to follow these steps:
Attention! When fixing the wiring with asbestos sheets, you need to make sure that the cable does not hang out, but is not pressed 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 arbor.
The electricity supply is completed, now you can choose lighting fixtures or connect an electric stove built into the countertop. It is advisable to use the newly acquired knowledge of electrical wiring to control 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 it will not particularly affect the appearance.
It is best to complement the summer kitchen or gazebo corner barbecue oven- so the cooking place will be protected from gusts of wind and unexpected precipitation. But it is not necessary to build an additional building - you can equip a site for installing an open-air barbecue. Her minimum size— 2*3 m.
Each site has a place where the owners have a rest from various affairs. This area is divided into recreation area with a table, benches, a swing or a hammock, and a working room where delicious food will be prepared. In this part, a corner barbecue oven is most often placed.
It is desirable to supplement such a recreation area washbasin And pergola.
The corner barbecue will become the best option for a 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.
A beautiful addition to the corner barbecue oven will be the layout of the working area paving slabs and creating a path to that zone from paving stones or stone. Remember, if this is not done, in the summer a path will still appear in its potential place, but from trampled grass.
It is advisable to purchase beautiful Street lights for a comfortable stay in the evening and at night.
Many people look forward to the weekend during the working week to go out of town to go fishing, to meet with friends or family. Well, what kind of vacation is complete without cooking on an open fire or coals.
And for their preparation in a quick way, you can build devices such as barbecue, but still in modern world it is much more convenient to use stationary facilities: barbecue, grill and barbecue.
Especially if you have a country house and a small plot.
Of course, portable devices can also be purchased, but if the owner is an experienced person in construction matters, then it will not be difficult for him to build his own creation.
As many have already guessed, our article will focus on one of these devices, namely the barbecue.
There are several options for the origin of the name. But the most truthful is the ancient Greek version, meaning "foreigner." In our case, this word "barbarus" meant "barbarian".
Perhaps the very way of cooking on fires in caves by wild tribes of nomads made such associations. However, all this has successfully taken root in our area and everyone likes it to this day.
A brazier is a simple structure made of metal or brick, where coals are placed, and a skewers or grate for food are placed on top.
Grill - a structure mainly made of metal with a closing top. The principle of cooking products is the same as on the grill, only with the lid closed. To exit the smoke, the grill is equipped with a pipe.
Barbecue is such a brazier, a cross between a barbecue and a grill. And it is very reminiscent of the wild conditions of roasting meat. Outwardly, it looks like a hearth, open on the front side.
It is possible that the device is not in the form of a hearth, but in the form of a side around the grate for products, which does not immediately let heat through to the sides. Varieties of the brazier are shown in the barbecue photo.
As you can see, all these devices are very similar, and they can be easily converted into each other.
A brick barbecue can be easily created with your own hands in literally 10 minutes for any layman. This option for building a barbecue is similar to a game of cubes.
For its device you need:
The dimensions of the sheet and grate should be almost the same, as they determine the size of the frying space.
The diagram of a simple brick barbecue shows in detail the principle of its construction and construction.
Bricklaying is carried out without the use of cement mortar:
This brazier is a great option for the summer season.
But, if you are worried about the integrity of the structure in your absence, the structure can be easily disassembled and placed in a pantry for storage. Rebuilding it won't be hard.
If the site owner knows how to work with metal, then he can create a portable version of the barbecue using an old metal barrel or gas cylinder.
Detailed drawings for creating such barbecue structures can be found below or on similar websites.
This option is most suitable for reputable owners of mansions and country villas with large adjoining territories who can afford to hire specialists and build a whole barbecue complex.
But simpler townsfolk can also afford stationary barbecues, but with smaller sizes.
With building skills and knowledge, you can make it yourself.
To determine the location, you need to know some rules:
For quick and high-quality construction of a barbecue area, you can resort to the help of highly qualified specialists, but this pleasure is not cheap.
Or you can, having golden hands and a great desire to build a barbecue with your own hands. Keep it up and you will succeed!
Many portable devices have been invented for cooking meat on coals.
Mobile barbecues They do their job, but over time they become unusable.
On the garden plots more practical to build barbecue - ovens from brick. Such complexes will last longer, and it is more convenient to cook food in them.
You can build a barbecue oven yourself, you should start by studying the information on this issue. On the Internet, projects of brick barbecue complexes are presented in a variety and with detailed dimensions.
Photo 1. Large open-air brick barbecue complex. It's made of bricks in the yard country house and includes several modules.
Furnace complex consists of so-called modules that have a certain functionality.
It can include no more than three modules with combustion chambers:
This design provides good traction and does not require a significant increase chimney pipes. There can be several modules without combustion chambers.
Barbecue grill - is the central part of the complex, as it requires direct-flow, smoke draft. This is a small structure with a foundation area no more than 1 square meter. Height reaches two meters. The pipe for the complex is calculated individually and depends on the number of modules with combustion chambers.
furnace module- maybe with hob and with a baking chamber. The area of such a furnace is not more than one square meter. The height does not exceed the dimensions of the central module.
Module with smoking cabinet- has a similar design with a baking cabinet. Depending on the required technology, part of the smoke is passed through the smoking chamber.
Modules without combustion chambers. For the convenience of operating the stove barbecue complex, they attach to it sink And countertop. This is a supporting frame made of bricks, on which a horizontal surface is installed.
By building a barbecue yourself, you can save a significant amount of money required to hire specialists. But in addition to saving financial resources, one should be aware of the emerging risks.
For example, about errors in compliance building technology and design. To prevent them, one should responsibly approach the choice of the project and its implementation.
The design should not be complicated, but have the necessary functionality. The simpler the project, the easier it is to implement.. Also, when choosing a project, one should take into account the features of the construction site and operating conditions. It is desirable that there is a clear example of the implementation of the selected furnace.
Another disadvantage of self-construction is the time costs. In the absence of any practice in this area, it will take more time to build a barbecue than with specialists.
Advice. The construction of this complex should begin at the beginning of the warm season.
Let us consider successively all the stages that the construction of a barbecue complex includes, no matter what size it is.
The construction of a barbecue stove complex begins with the selection of a project. The most popular projects of barbecue complexes of the following options. We draw the reader's attention in advance to the fact that no matter which brick barbecue complex you choose, the laying order attached to the drawing will be very useful in bringing the project to life.
This outdoor oven complex consists of two modules with two combustion chambers. Can be made with or without external trim. The complex has size from 1.5 to 2 meters in length. The height starts from two meters without taking into account the pipe. The foundation will require approximately two square meters of area.
The central part of the complex is barbecue grill, and at the edges are located oven under the cauldron And stove with oven. The chimneys of adjacent modules are led into the central chimney. This design has a length at least 2.5 meters. The height of the barbecue complex starts from two meters, excluding the pipe. The area of the foundation is three square meters.
Such a complex can be built in summer kitchens and capital buildings. The outgoing heat from the stoves is enough to heat a small room.
Photo 2. A large brick barbecue complex with several ovens, a hob and a sink. It was built on the space of a covered summer arbor.
Body length starts from 3.5 meters. The height reaches two meters without taking into account the pipe. This complex has three combustion chambers and a chimney system similar to the previous project. The foundation requires four square meters. In the center, the design has a barbecue grill and stoves at the edges. Modules with countertop and sink can be positioned at an angle relative to the main body.
If you have chosen such a complex project with many modules and are building a barbecue complex with a smokehouse, barbecue and cauldron, ordering (that is, detailed diagram bricklaying) will not only be useful, but also necessary.
The following stages of construction are considered on the example of the project "Barbecue - a brazier with a stove under a cauldron".

The place for the construction of a barbecue complex must meet the following criteria:
In order to build a barbecue complex, you will need the following: building materials:
Attention! All of the above components (hardware) must be purchased before starting work, as they are installed during the construction process.
In order to build oven barbecue complex does not require complex specialized tools. Everything you need can be bought at the hardware store:
After the material is purchased and the tool is prepared, you can proceed to pouring the foundation.
Photo 3. Hexagonal foundation. On this basis, you can place a barbecue complex original design.
Attention! When installing the formwork, it is recommended to lay the inner sides of the boards with a plastic film. This will allow you to quickly and accurately separate the boards from the concrete during their dismantling.
After the work done, the foundation should stand about 10-15 days. Then you can start building. You can dismantle the formwork on the third day.
Important! If hot weather prevails during the construction of the foundation, it is necessary to moisten the foundation once or twice a day. cold water. This is done to prevent premature evaporation of moisture.
Let's take a closer look at how bricklaying is done.
Attention! Between the combustion chamber and the walls load-bearing structure the oven should be fire-resistant insulation. Its presence will prevent premature cooling of the furnace and allow the combustion chamber to expand when heated.
Important! After the main structure is built, it is recommended to check the draft in the furnace complex. To do this, ignite newsprint in the combustion chambers. This must be done before the solution has had time to gain strength. In this case, if errors are found, it will be possible to disassemble the design for correction.
The oven can be used for approx. after 10 days.
Before use it is desirable melt a few times ovens in "sparing" mode. BUT only then heat with wood to "white coals".
