Building a solid barbecue requires the use of extremely durable building materials. Find out how clinker brick works in barbecue construction: why choose it?
Clinker brick differs significantly from traditional brick because it is less absorbent and harder, and is also extremely resistant to damage. Its name comes from the German word ‘klinken’, which means ‘to ring’, because when this type of brick hits another brick, it makes a metallic sound, similar to the sound a bell makes. The extraordinary density and durability of this type of brick makes a clinker brick barbecue look and work brilliantly. Clinker barbecue bricks are excellent at storing heat. They are the ideal finishing material for building a firebox with fireclay bricks. It is the right brick for a barbecue and a great decoration at the same time.
Clinker brick: The ideal material for building a barbecue
If you want your barbecue to impress your guests and neighbours, build a barbecue made of brick. You can use, for example, glazed clinker brick, which will make your barbecue look very elegant. It is worth remembering, however, that clinker brick is heavier than standard brick and has higher thermal conductivity, which results in poorer thermal insulation of the heating device for which it was used. However, its advantage is that it tolerates thermal shocks well, so it will work well outside the building, where the weather conditions are changeable. Clinker brick is offered in stores in various colours. If you want to build your own barbecue professionally, it is worth taking a look at the Vitcas product range.
