If you want to build a brick barbecue: step by step, we will explain how to do it in the simplest way possible. We will also advise you on the building materials you will need.
Building a simple brick barbecue is a rewarding activity, and the end result will allow you to enjoy delicious grilled food for many years to come. The most important thing is to have the right design for a brick barbecue. The simplest design is one with a rectangular firebox and a shelf for charcoal or wood. To complete the project, you will need building materials such as brick for the barbecue, mortar, steel rods for the grate, insulation boards and concrete for the foundation. It is necessary to find the right place on the property for the brick barbecue, so that it does not pose a fire hazard to the buildings. On level ground, outline the barbecue and prepare stable foundations. Construction begins with the base and bricklaying of the walls, as well as the construction of the tabletop. Next, the firebox with a grate is created. Finally, the finishing work is carried out.
Why choose bricks for building a barbecue?
When building a brick barbecue, especially using fireclay bricks, you can ensure high performance and durability of the device for years to come. Fireclay bricks for barbecues are a material with many valuable properties, such as resistance to extreme temperatures, good heat accumulation and slow heat release, resistance to loads, compression and chemicals. These factors determine not only the durability of the barbecue, but also its performance. In addition, a brick barbecue fits perfectly into the natural atmosphere of the garden and adds a rustic character.
What bricks are best for building a barbecue?
When building a solid, safe and functional garden barbecue, it is essential to choose the right materials, especially bricks. A brick barbecue, which needs to be resistant to high temperatures and frequent use, should be made of fireclay bricks. This material has excellent fire-resistant properties – it withstands extreme heat well, stores it and releases it gradually, which ensures even grilling. A brick barbecue made of fireclay bricks is also mechanically durable, resistant to cracking and compression, which guarantees its long-term durability. Clinker bricks can be used for the decorative layer, but fireclay bricks should be used in the firebox. It is also worth using refractory mortar, insulating boards and solid concrete foundations for construction. All these products can be found in the Vitcas range. With the right materials, your barbecue will not only look good, but will also be safe and convenient to use for many seasons. Start building your barbecue today – it’s easier than you think!
