Barbecue in the country - distinguishing feature Have a pleasant holiday outside the city with barbecue in good company. Perhaps this is why most summer residents are happy to install a barbecue or grill on their summer cottage.
Yes, you can just buy a ready-made barbecue for your dacha, but there is something attractive in plans to build such a barbecue with your own hands. A country barbecue is not only a gathering place for the whole family and interesting element country house design,
but also a very effective thing when you need to feed quite a lot of people, for example, for a holiday; because The surface size of a homemade barbecue is usually much larger than a standard store-bought one. In addition, a barbecue made by yourself is more durable, less demanding to use, and has a more “warm, individual” appearance than a purchased one.
The task of making a barbecue with your own hands can be solved by a pair of skillful hands over the weekend. There is nothing complicated in the construction of a country barbecue; you can see this for yourself in the drawing.
Firebox: The inner wall of the barbecue can be lined with refractory bricks. It is better to move the wall a little forward for more easy access to the grill grate.
Grill grate: Choose cast iron or stainless steel. Supported by corner ledges.
Foundation: a concrete platform (8-10 cm) on a bed of compacted crushed stone (8-10 cm) ensures the stability of the grill structure.
Brick walls: They form a closed grill frame, reducing wood consumption by 65% and protecting against hot sparks.
Ash pan: metal sheet for fuel. Placed at a distance of 20-35 cm below the grill grate.
If you have bricklaying skills, no back problems, and a couple of friends willing to help you, then you can make a barbecue yourself in a weekend.
Determine the prevailing wind direction and install the grill so that smoke does not fly into the house or recreation area.
Concrete foundation blocks – the cheapest construction material for the barbecue. Inside the firebox it can be lined with refractory bricks for greater heat retention. The outside of the grill can be lined with natural stone.
Natural stone – a natural stone retains heat well. Allow enough time to select and fit the stone. In addition, it is good to have some excess stone in reserve, because... It is difficult to predict the exact consumption of material for the construction of a barbecue made of natural stone.
Red ceramic brick - almost optimal choice for the construction of a barbecue. Externally attractive, retains heat well, and is not afraid of interaction with open fire. For a brick grill you will need a little more skill in brickwork than for a barbecue made of concrete blocks.
Use dry logs of fruit species, which add an unforgettable aroma to all dishes cooked on the grill. Provide a place in the grill design where you can place in advance suitable logs that you received when pruning fruit trees.
Forceps– the longer the better for your safety.
Brush made of metal for cleaning the grill grate.
Gloves for barbecues that can withstand high temperatures.
Barbecue with spit, which will make it possible to evenly fry a large piece of meat.
Brazier with chimney– will allow the smoke to be collected and diverted upward away from summer kitchen or a gazebo next to which a barbecue is installed.
Fireplace with barbecue– Do you want to build something grandiose at your dacha? Building a fireplace for a patio or summerhouse, into the walls of which we build in corners to support the barbecue grill.
The grill grate should be hot. Preheat the grill for about 15 minutes before placing the meat on the grill.
Create different temperature zones for the grill grate by moving some of the coals to one side. Fry meat on the hotter side, vegetables or fish on the cooler side. 
Do not turn the food on the grill every minute; in order for the meat to fry, it is enough to turn it once, frying for 5-6 minutes on one side.
Add flavor. Whatever the type of firewood in your grill, you can always enhance the aroma of the food you cook by soaking a couple of branches of fruit species in water for a few minutes and then placing them on hot coals. 
Give it a rest. Leave the cooked meat to cool for a couple of minutes, this way the juices will be better distributed in it.
The correct coals for grilling are red with a slight touch of gray ash.
Food poisoning. Wash your hands, buy meat from safe places. This best advice to avoid food poisoning in the midst of your picnic at the dacha.
Charred meat. Do you like well-done meat? Don't char the kebab until it turns black! Charred food particles double your risk of cancer. So you can raise a toast to health and to meat with a slight redness inside.
Carbon monoxide poisoning. Everything is good in its place. If you're grilling in bad weather and the crazy thought “why don't I do this in the garage” pops into your head, chase it away with a filthy broom. Concentration carbon monoxide indoors can become dramatic for you.
Fire. At least 3 m from buildings, wooden fences, sheds, etc. will give you the opportunity to avoid colossal fire damage and serious injury.
Heatstroke.“It’s so hot in here I’m going to have a stroke.” This may not be just a joke. Overheating can cause serious illness for people with cardiovascular disease.
Casual clothes. Do not wear loose clothing with loose sleeves or flaps when working on the grill. A spark that hits it may produce a completely different fireworks display than you had planned.
Deep frying. Working with deep fat is best left to professional chefs. Spattering particles of fat, open fire - it’s better not to overestimate yourself, we are smart enough to understand that “the game is not worth the candle.”
Be careful, wasp. Wasp stings are extremely painful and very dangerous for people with allergic reactions. Therefore, it is better to have anti-allergenic drugs in your first aid kit and wear a long-sleeved shirt.
Coals and fire safety. Wait 48 hours before disposing of the ash from the grill.
Clean the grill grates with a steel brush to prevent ash and food debris from accumulating there. Spray the cooled grill grate sunflower oil to prevent the formation of rust on it. Remove ashes after each use of the grill to avoid the accumulation of foreign odors for the next cooking.
Whether you make a barbecue yourself or buy a ready-made one, it will bring you many pleasant moments when, with a barbecue in your hand, admiring the open fire in a pleasant company, you will get the much-needed respite from the busy daily rhythm.

The presence of a stationary fireplace on the site or a mobile one at a country picnic dramatically increases the quality of relaxation with family or big company. Since barbecues made by hand from metal have different sizes, photos of various modifications in this manual will help you choose best option for specific operating conditions.
Main operational features hearths for cooking hot dishes on a quick fix are:
The best option for country house is a full-fledged brick barbecue oven. However, it takes up a lot of space, weighs more than 700 kg, and requires slab foundation and dramatically increases the construction budget.
The original metal grill, the photo of which is shown above, is not inferior in design quality brick barbecue oven. They are classified according to the following characteristics:
It is important for the user to understand that when burning wood, increased metal wear occurs. Therefore, it is better to cook coals in a fire or purchase them ready-made, and maintain the heat inside the grill without open fire. Then the equipment will last longer.
To weld a barbecue with your own hands from metal, you must have the appropriate equipment and the skill to work with it. The home handyman should take into account the following nuances:
Look at the options in the drawings:

Attention: Taking into account the above, the design of barbecues from horizontally located 100 - 200 liter barrels must be supplemented with a perforated steel sheet - a hearth. Otherwise, the thickness of the coals will be uneven and the meat in the middle part of the skewers may burn.
Before you cook a barbecue for a permanent installation, you should familiarize yourself with original homemade products home craftsmen. The chimney dramatically improves the quality of maintenance of the hearth. However, it costs more sheet metal, when placed inside the gazebo, you will have to make a unit for passing through the roof and break through the roof.
Free-standing metal barbecues are weather-dependent, so they are usually equipped with canopies made of galvanized steel, corrugated sheets, or metal tiles. So that in case of short-term precipitation, the meat can be cooked without problems. 
On large areas with recreation areas, large barbecues, ponds and other elements landscape design mobile barbecues on wheels are being built. This makes table setting easier and allows you to move the smoky hearth away from the guests’ resting place.
For country holidays, small collapsible or transformable fireplaces are often built. They are small in size for placement in the trunk of a car, simple rectangular shape without decorative frills. 
Taking into account all the listed nuances, the design of the barbecue can consist of sheet metal blanks, forged elements, or it partially uses finished goods made of steel of suitable shape/size:
In any case, they will have to be modified to match the standard dimensions of the hearth and fit into the existing landscape design.
The most popular two technologies are how to make a stationary metal grill with your own hands:
The barrel product has a ready-made lid by default, which allows you to protect steel structure from snow in winter, rain in summer. For comfort home handyman Both options will be discussed below.
Before you build a brazier from metal barrel stationary type, you need to mark and cut it in the following order:
The under should be located 20 - 30 cm below the skewers, according to standard sizes metal barbecue. For ease of removal/putting back into place, handle-brackets are welded to the plate.
The supporting elements are welded in a single horizontal level, one near the cut-out hatch hole, the second at the far wall opposite it. Instead of a corner, you can use profile pipe rectangular section.
For fixing a round barrel in space and providing a height convenient for preparing kebabs metal barbecue you need to make a stand. There are several options, the most common of which are:
Then all that remains is to weld the hinges to open the lid and clean inner surface from the product that was stored in this container, remove the standard layer of paintwork ( paint and varnish materials) outside and paint the body with a special heat-resistant paint that can withstand extreme operating temperatures.
Step-by-step instructions on how to properly weld a classic-type grill are as follows:
A couple of drawings for example: 
Well, a couple of photos for example: 
Enlarges by clicking on the photo
The metal container must be airtight, so the seams must be continuous. If the barbecue is planned to be moved around the site, one pair of legs is made shorter and equipped with wheels. How to cook it correctly and what sizes to take, see the following video:
Well, and one more thing step-by-step video instructions how perfectly you can do without welding:
For more comfortable operation of the fireplace, it is recommended to equip it with a shelf for storing firewood (attached to the legs at half their height), a lid (removable or hinged) and a canopy. Canopy stands are usually welded to the legs of the barbecue or to its body.
You can (and should) decorate the hearth with forged elements and overlays in the form of animal figures made of sheet steel. Aesthetic value Such a design completely depends on the imagination of the home craftsman or the creativity of the designer who developed the project. For example, interesting idea I use sewing machine legs:
Modifications from the tank washing machine or large-diameter vertical pipes are unsuitable for a classic iron barbecue. They can accommodate a maximum of 3 skewers of standard length, so such hearths are used for another cooking technology - barbecue. In principle, any barbecue can be supplemented with a grate made of food-grade stainless wire and you will get a barbecue.
A stationary hearth is unsuitable for country picnics, so a collapsible or transformable metal barbecue is built with your own hands from sheet steel. The main nuances of a mobile hearth are:
Read more information about making this type of barbecue.
Thus, knowing the dimensions for preparing barbecue and the approximate number of users, you can make a mobile iron barbecue. To build a stationary one, you will additionally need welding equipment (although you can do without it), but all necessary information there is above.
Barbecues are sold today in a wide range. But if you have good instructions, equipment, consumables and, of course, desire, then you can make a barbecue with your own hands from metal.
DIY metal grill
Types of construction
First, decide on the type of future design, since the barbecue can be:
Stationary-type structures are multifunctional, because by adding some elements, you can additionally get a smokehouse or grill. Moreover, they can really decorate a suburban area.
And here mobile devices They are compact, so they can easily fit even in a car trunk, which is ideal for outdoor recreation. The design can be folding or collapsible.
What will the job require?
Despite the fact that there are different designs, the list of everything needed is generally the same. Only the quantity can differ consumables, because if it is planned to manufacture a large stationary product with a roof, then, of course, more material will be required in this case. In short, get ready for work:
Note! There are many types of designs, so check out the most popular ones to choose the best option.
The design described in this paragraph of the article can be without a cover or with it. In the second case, halves of the container are used, in the first - a whole one. But regardless of the chosen option, you should first sketch out a drawing of the planned product.
Below is a picture to help you understand all the elements and their sizes. You can improve this design if you want, but finished drawing In any case, it will help during production.
After this, you should prepare the elements from which the grill will subsequently be assembled.
Note! This should start with the main thing, namely the barrel. You need to cut it.
To do this, use one of two methods:
After this, carefully clean all the cuts and remove any burrs. Next, determine the size of the corners needed to frame the opening. Cut pipes or corners for stands and legs, then prepare fasteners - it is advisable to purchase the latter with a small margin.
The easiest way is to build a barbecue from 1/2 barrels than to fix the lid on the front wall. For ease of work, start with arranging stands. In this case, you will need pipes that can have either a rectangular or circular cross-section.
Step 1. If you cannot bend the pipe to the size of the barrel, then, after making preliminary calculations, weld a corner from a pair of pipes, and then weld two more pipes to it, connected in the letter “T”. Make the second leg in the same way. Connect them together with a jumper, although if you wish, you can use a metal basket for storing firewood.
Step 2. After this, install the 1/2 barrel on these legs and weld it to them. It is advisable to immediately begin cleaning the welding seams so that this element of the barbecue with your own hands made of metal will be left alone.
Step 3. Now start working on the actual half. First, weld a corner to its edges to make the structure look more neat. A kind of shelf has been formed on which you will place the skewers.
Note! If the grill will also be used as a grill, then secure the racks for the latter as shown in the diagram.
Step 4. If you use the second half of the barrel as a lid, then scald it with a corner. For greater ease of use, attach a handle and a holder with fasteners to the lid. You can install it on one or both sides of the structure.
Step 5. Place a mesh on top of the half-barrel so that the structure can also be used as a barbecue. To fix the mesh, screw special supports around the edges.
Step 6. Make holes in the walls of the lower half to improve traction.
Here the barrel does not need to be cut into two parts. Instead, cut a pre-marked rectangle out of it. With such a barbecue, food that will be cooked on the flame will be reliably protected from the wind thanks to back wall. In the pictures you see the installation of a barbecue grid.
Note! If you resort to this option, then no welding of the edges of the barrel is required - they will be properly cleaned and rounded without it.
Otherwise, the work is carried out in the same way as described above, but the hinges are attached to the lid and the upper part of the structure. A holder for the lid is not required in this model, since, when tilted, it will rest against top part housings.
It is also worth noting that this grill can also be made into a part-time smokehouse. For this purpose, attach a chimney pipe to the side. As you know, at the top of all barrels there is a hole with a stopper, which you can use just for fastening the chimney. But this moment should be planned in advance, before you start cutting the barrel, since the described hole should be located exclusively in the upper part of the body.
If necessary, arrange tables-shelves on both sides of the grill (as described earlier). To this end, weld iron brackets to the body, and attach the covering to them (it can be either wood or metal).
Note! Barbecues are also built from propane cylinders in a similar way. But remember that they are narrower, therefore, they will require shorter skewers.
If desired, any do-it-yourself metal grill from those described above can be equipped with wheels for more convenient transportation. Although these structures are mobile only on the site, since transporting them somewhere is very inconvenient.
Cylinders and barrels are ideal for making barbecues. And this is explained by the unlimited scope for imagination. Would you like to see this for yourself? Then be sure to watch the video below.
And if you use the grill only on the site, without taking it outside, then it is more advisable not to complicate your life, but to resort to simple option manufacturing a stationary model. You can only move it around the area, and install it on a hard surface.
Traditionally, make a drawing first. This is quite simple to do, since there are no particularly complex elements in the design. After purchasing everything you need, make blanks for future components based on the previously drawn up diagram.
As an alternative, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with ready-made circuit and, based on it, create your own, adding the necessary elements that will make operation simpler and more convenient.
Step 1. To work you will need the following:
Note! If you plan to install one or two shelves, then they will also require corners.
Step 2. Next, mark the future structural elements on the sheet of metal. If the metal is not too thick (about 2 millimeters), then simply bend it, thereby eliminating the need for welding to connect the body to the bottom. In this case, after finishing the preliminary marking, cut out 4 rectangles - the result will be a cross.
Step 3. The central part of the cross will serve as the bottom of the body, the other four will serve as machines. Bend these walls at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the bottom element.
Step 5. At the bottom of the larger sides of the box, make holes to allow oxygen to flow to the coals. But make cutouts in the upper part of these sides so that it is convenient to place skewers.
Step 5. After this, build a frame from the corners, where you will subsequently install the body with the base for the shelves.
Step 6. You can install a mesh made of steel wire on top of the frame. Remember that it will be convenient to place dishes or a cutting board on such a grid.
Step 7. At the bottom, arrange another net (or a basket - as you prefer) in which to store firewood.
Note! If you want, you can make different designs on the walls using the same wire.
Step 8. After this, clean all surfaces with a wire brush, then paint with heat-resistant paint - the latter will prevent not only the formation of corrosion, but also burnout.
As soon as the paint has dried, you can start testing your brainchild - a do-it-yourself metal grill!
Let us immediately note that such collapsible version will be useful not only in the house, but even in the apartment. Due to its compactness, it does not take up much space; you can easily place it on a shelf in a closet or pantry. You can use it both for outdoor recreation and, say, in the courtyard of your multi-story building (following all fire safety rules, of course).
Note! When planning further work, take into account the fact that when folded, the structure will resemble a suitcase, which will contain everything that may be needed for frying meat.
For example, the standard length of skewers for a camping trip is 60 centimeters, therefore, the grill itself can be only 65 centimeters long and 45 centimeters wide (when unfolded).
The design you see in the image is quite easy to make on your own. But to work you will need:
Now, having prepared everything you need, proceed directly to work.
Step 1. First, make a drawing that will indicate all the necessary dimensions. This will prevent possible modifications to the product in the future due to inaccuracies.
Step 2. After this, draw out future elements on metal sheets and cut them out. These elements should include:
Step 3. Then proceed to construct the folding legs using movable fasteners (such as furniture ones). For this purpose, cut four strips of metal 10 cm wide, although you can use the same corners. These strips can be 40-60 centimeters long, although it is worth remembering that the higher the support legs are, the less stable the structure will be.
Note! After preparing everything necessary, the assembly itself begins. This should be done especially carefully - in this case, your product will be no different from the “store” one.
Step 4. First, clean the back and front walls, then weld three sides of each wall with a steel angle.
Step 5. Mark where the mesh will be laid in the structure, attach supports from the corners in the appropriate places.
Step 7. Attach the support legs to the sides of the product so that they can be extended and folded without much difficulty. To easily install the side walls, the grill in open position should have an angle of 45 degrees.
Step 8. Weld 2 holes in the side panels on top for installing handles (curved metal rods). If you want, you can also install a special hook that will prevent the assembled structure from opening.
At the end, assemble the barbecue with your own hands from metal, lay the net and try to make the first kebab.
Note! To make the design truly multifunctional, you can make a barbecue attachment.
For this purpose, cut and cook five structural elements. These are special side attachments, curved at the bottom at a 45-degree angle (if necessary, you can install them instead of triangles on the sides). You will also need a grille for installation on top and a pair of front panels long length. By the way, with one more interesting option production you can see in the video below.
Protect from rust
Any structure made of metal always needs protection against corrosion. Only in this case will it be possible to operate it longer, and external indicators will not deteriorate over time. You can, for example, paint a homemade grill with paint. But remember that you can only use heat-resistant paint, which can be purchased at any car store in the form of an aerosol can (it is used to paint vehicle mufflers).
You can also resort to alternative option- that is, a change in the structure of the metal. There is a process (bluing) during which the surface of the metal is covered with a heat-resistant black film. To blue the barbecue yourself, first clean it of dirt and grease, then place the product in a solution of caustic soda (500 grams per ten liters of water) and leave there for one and a half to two hours at a temperature of 140 C.
As a conclusion
As you can see, making a barbecue is not a very complicated procedure - if you have necessary equipment and minimal experience with it, you can handle it in about a day or two, but at the same time save a significant amount! And if you approach the work responsibly and do it efficiently, then your brainchild will be practically no different from its “store-bought” counterparts.
Actually, that's all. Good luck with your work!
Possibly one of the most different materials. However, creating a barbecue with your own hands from metal is rightfully considered the best option. What metal options exist and how can you make such a design yourself?
Why are metal barbecues so good? A monolithic barbecue oven or its brick version is distinguished by its solid construction - in this case, the structure will not need to be removed for the winter, and it looks more reliable, stronger, and more durable. In addition, a stone oven can be upgraded with additional work areas, which will allow you not only to fry meat, but also to bake vegetables, fish, and smoke food. At the same time, the stove will look noble; it will organically fit into the appearance of any area. Should we turn to metal?
In most cases, it's definitely worth it. Capital structures have their advantages, but portability is far from a disadvantage. A metal grill takes up little space, which is good for modest-sized areas. You can install such a stove even on a cramped terrace or in a small gazebo. In addition, even its stationary version can be transported from place to place, albeit with minor inconveniences - and when creating a camping folding version, you can take your barbecue with you into nature, even without a car.
There are other advantages to creating a metal barbecue with your own hands.
The downside may be the lack of aesthetics of a steel stove. However, the appearance of any barbecue depends only on the designer and the skill of the manufacturer. One has only to look at some projects to be convinced that such a design can be turned into a masterpiece.
Before starting work, you need to choose the type of structure according to which the drawing of the barbecue will be drawn up. The choice is made based on a number of furnace characteristics:
There are many designs of metal barbecues. The most common are these models.
Not a separate type of construction, but a very unique option is the manufacture of a roasting pan from pre-prepared metal containers - read the following articles:
Various steel devices can also be used for decoration - for example, the use of forged parts from sewing machines Zinger as a stand.
It is most convenient to consider the main stages of work using the example of manufacturing a simple stationary barbecue. There are two of them: drawing up a drawing and designing a furnace. Additionally, you can consider decorating (painting) the structure and creating additional elements. How to make a metal grill with your own hands?
You need to prepare:
While creating homemade barbecue made of metal with your own hands, you can select any size, depending on the characteristics of the operation of the furnace. The main criterion for selecting dimensions is the amount of meat fried at one time. The optimal dimensions of the barbecue are as follows.
Having decided on the size issue, you need to determine what to paint the grill with. The paint will protect the metal from corrosion, but it itself must be resistant to atmospheric influences and high temperature. It should not release toxins when heated. Acrylic will do heat resistant paint or silicate varnishes.
The choice of 3 mm thickness is due to the fact that thinner metal will quickly burn out, and thicker metal is a waste of money. The work of creating a box is simple - you need to cut out the walls and bottom in accordance with the drawing, cut air holes in them and carefully weld the elements together.
Thus, the work is carried out as follows.
At this point the main structure is ready. Next, you can weld handles to the ends, make a lid, weld fasteners for skewers and pokers, etc. A brazier made of metal can also be painted: before doing this, you need to remove old rust and prime the surface.
It is worth considering separately. It is a cut-down pipe through which smoke is effectively removed, which under normal conditions prevents the meat from being cooked calmly. The hood is usually a metal dome that is either welded to the main structure or suspended from above if the stove is located under a roof.
To manufacture this device, the same sheets of metal are used, which are welded in the shape of a truncated pyramid, on top of which a short pipe is placed. The area of the base of the hood should be slightly larger than the area of the grill.
The steel hood is easy to clean and simple to manufacture. To prevent it from deteriorating over time, it should be painted with heat-resistant paint.
The technology for manufacturing collapsible metal barbecues has some nuances. Elements of this design are not welded, but are bolted together. The operating principle is the same.
You can make a collapsible barbecue with your own hands only partially - weld the walls and make the bottom with fasteners. This will make it easy to clean the stove from ash.
A do-it-yourself folding barbecue is made as follows.
When creating a folding barbecue, it is better to use 2 mm thick steel to reduce the weight of the structure.
Do-it-yourself metal barbecues are a mandatory attribute of private households. Dimensions and photos of individual product options will help you create a unique design yourself. Useful designs often used for outdoor picnics and recreation. A ready-made drawing with all the details will help you make the product yourself. required sizes, which is used in this work as a sample.
A durable and beautiful grill will decorate the entire yard
Read in the article
Simplified DIY metal barbecues have the shape of a rectangular body. Dimensions and photos of the devices are presented in this review. Coals are placed inside the container, which creates the necessary heat. There are a significant number of products that differ from standard models.
The following types of barbecues exist:
Stationary barbecues
It is not so difficult to create beautiful stationary barbecues made of metal. To make a simple rectangle-shaped roasting pan you need to prepare:
Before work you need to prepare a drawing. It notes all the dimensions of the planned structure, the location of the recesses for skewers and the distances between the perforation slots.
The constant value is the height of the side of the grill, which varies between 13-15 cm. If the distance is less than the specified value, then the meat will be burned on the fires, and if it is more, then a lot will be required.
Other sizes are selected based on individual preferences:
In some models, a second plate with longitudinal holes in the form of grates is placed on the bottom. This protects the metal at the bottom from burning out.
Under construction original devices do-it-yourself barbecues made of metal. To do this, you will need dimensions with a roof and detailed photos of certain models. The collapsible model includes four legs, perforated walls and a bottom. Before installation, you should prepare a steel sheet, grinder, drill, fasteners and corners.
Standard assembly of the structure consists of separate stages:
| Image | Stages of work |
 | Marks are made on the metal for the bottom and walls of the planned structure. |
 | The future shape is cut out along the outlined lines . |
 | The edges are bent and welded. Perforation holes are made using a drill. |
 | Chamfers are made in long walls. |
 | It is most convenient to make the legs from a corner, sharpen them at the bottom and weld them to the box. |
The grill is made from a barrel or gas cylinder. In addition to the container, you will need a grinder, a drill, metal corners and a welding machine. First, markings are made and the upper area of the barrel is cut out. The end sections remain in place. A lid is made from the top part. The legs are made from corners. They are welded to the ends of the barrel.
Supports for skewers are made from the corners. They are welded to the inside of the product. Handles should be welded to the lid.
Helpful advice! The legs can be made from twigs. At the same time, the thread is cut and the nuts are attached. You can connect elements using bolts, which allows you to create a stronger structure.
It is easy to make dismountable installations from metal. Photo shows interesting solutions.
This design does not require welding equipment. But you will need drills, a drill, a steel sheet, nuts and angles. Just like with the non-separable version, a drawing is made and elements are cut out from the steel plate. The prepared frame is bolted to the base. For a strong connection, it is recommended to use engraver washers.
Legs are mounted on the base of the device. Pipe sections are placed on prepared pipe supports. The sides are connected using bolts. To increase the strength of the structure, it is recommended to strengthen the walls with longitudinal spokes tightened with nuts. Holes for screws are drilled in the side parts.
The legs are made from angles, while holes are drilled on the walls for connection to the legs using bolts. The last stage is the assembly of the structure.
The mobility of the device depends on the component parts of the device. A high-quality model of a barbecue with a metal cauldron consists of the following components:
A simple solution is to make barbecue using a barrel. The design can be with or without a cover. The barrel is divided into two parts. The top one is used as a cover, and the legs are welded to the bottom. Holes for ventilation must be made, and small shelves are attached to the edges. You can install a grill and skewers on them.
Grills with forging elements look great. They are equipped with additional attributes: stands, shelves or wheels. There are various types of barbecues designed by yourself:
Option from an old computer Washing machine drum Original grill Creation unusual designs depends on imagination and personal preference.
The metal product must be protected from. For coloring, special compounds are used that are resistant to high temperatures. There are other processing methods. One of these methods is bluing. As a result of processing, a special film, protecting the structure from heat.
The bluing procedure is performed as follows:
Processing occurs at a temperature of 140 degrees. Instead of sheet metal, you can use stainless steel. Device from of this material is not afraid of weather conditions, collection and does not corrode. Such structures can last for decades.
An unusual solution for creating a barbecue are gas cylinders capacity 40 liters. They can be called suitable because of the fairly thick metal and a certain shape. Before use, they must be burned well to get rid of gas condensate. The wall thickness of a product made from reinforced forged steel should be about 4 mm, and from non-reinforced forged steel – from 6 mm.
To create a high-quality design, you must follow the following rules:
When performing work, do not forget about safety. You need to wear protective clothing, protective gloves and goggles.
