How to make a brazier from iron yourself. How to make a brazier from metal with your own hands. We make stationary models

The article provides information on how a collapsible brazier is made. What are its dimensions, what materials are used for this. Whether a drawing is required for manufacturing. If “yes”, then what you need to pay attention to, what parameters are important, taking into account the ease of use of the brazier for barbecue. The manufacture of the brazier is considered in stages.

Barbecue dimensions

Dealing with the dimensions of the iron barbecue grill according to the drawings presented on the Internet, one can only say that among them there is only one standard parameter - the height of the sides. It varies in the range of 13-15 cm. You shouldn’t do less - the barbecue will burn, a high height - you will have to prepare more coals, and these are costs and time.

All other sizes at the discretion of the customer:

the width is selected depending on the length of the skewers used;

the length depends on the amount of kebab required in terms of simultaneous frying, for example, if a gap of 5 cm is left between the skewers, plus the width of the meat itself, it will turn out within 8-10 cm, if you need to fry 10 sticks, then the length will be within 1 m ;

the height depends on how to cook on the grill: standing or squatting, in the first case it is 70-80 cm, in the second 20-30 cm;

as for the thickness of the sheet iron, a size of 2 mm is suitable for a collapsible structure, but for the bottom it is better to use a three-millimeter metal.

Dimensions of a high barbecue with a lid

Manufacturing technology of a collapsible brazier

First of all, a drawing of a brazier is sketched on paper with a designation of dimensions on it. In pure constructively this device is a parallelepiped. That is, all opposite paired walls are equal to each other. The only plane that is present in the brazier in a single form is the bottom.

The development of drawings of barbecues must be approached thoroughly. Because this is the basis of the future design. It is on it that the proportions of the brazier are displayed. And although this is of little importance for a portable collapsible version, there must still be some aesthetic side to the design.

The drawing below shows the full details of the structure. This is how the masters sketch it on paper. The main task is to show the dimensions of each part, because they are made individually. And the exact dimensions will help to arrange the parts into a single whole without adjustments.

Drawing of the brazier and its details

If the drawing of a brazier made of metal with dimensions is ready, the master proceeds directly to the manufacture of the brazier.

materials

As mentioned above, a steel sheet with a thickness of 2 and 3 mm is required as a material. Reinforcement with a diameter of 10 mm can be used as legs. Eight M6 or 8 bolts are required to connect the parts of the brazier.

markup

According to the drawing, all dimensions of the parts of the brazier are transferred to a sheet of iron. As already mentioned, there will be two side walls, end walls too, the bottom is one part. Paired walls are the same.

You can not scatter markup throughout the sheet. Many part sizes are the same, so the edges of the two parts will be indicated by one line. This way you can save money by reducing waste.

On the market you can find cut sheets of metal. If you correctly compose (make a competent layout of parts) markup, then you can purchase not a whole sheet, but a cropped one. It costs a lot less.

Now important point. The parts of the brazier are connected with bolts (as one of the options), therefore, under the docking points, the sides are made, which are bent inward from the main plane of the walls by 90 °. At the same time, on the side walls, the bend is made at three ends with fastening to the end walls and the bottom, on the end walls only from this side - to the bottom. Bend Width:

if used for connection bolt M6 - 10 mm;

if the M8 bolt is 12 mm.

This parameter must be added to the dimensions of the parts. For example, if the length of the brazier is 50 cm, then the length of the side walls is 52 cm, because a 1 cm bend is added to it on both sides.

Cutting, bending, drilling

The next step is cutting out all parts of the brazier exactly along the marking lines. This is usually done with a grinder with a cutting diamond disc. You can use other tools: a plasma cutter, a jigsaw with a metal blade. Cutting must be carried out exactly according to the applied markup. Everything must be done carefully.

In the end, you should get five parts: side walls - 2 pieces, end walls - 2, one bottom.

The next operation is the bending of the connection sections of the barbecue parts. On the cut parts of the brazier, indents are applied for bends. Again a ruler and a marker are used. There will be three lines on the side walls: two parallel (for connection with the end walls), one perpendicular to them (for connection with the bottom). There is one line on the end walls. It should match in location with the line for the bottom.

A shallow cut is made along the drawn lines, it is not through, but with a slight depression of up to 0.5 mm. This is done in order to make it easier and smoother to bend the bends. Pay attention to the side walls, where the cuts of perpendicular lines will create squares in two corners. They are cut off completely.

Now bends are made with a hammer. The workpiece is placed on the edge of the table, it is better if it is finished with a steel corner, and with light blows the edge of the bend is bent along the undercut line. The bending angle is 90°.

The next stage is the formation of junctions. To do this, in the bends of the side walls with an indent from the upper and lower edges inward by 3 cm, a mark is made with a marker. Through holes are drilled through them.

Immediately it should be noted that the bottom of the brazier is not fixed to the walls. It simply lies freely inside the box of side and end parts, resting against the bends on four sides.

It remains only to drill holes in all parts of the brazier. They are designed to ensure that fresh air, saturated with oxygen, penetrates into the combustion zone of coals. Without air, the coals will not be able to give maximum number heat, from this frying of the kebab until cooked will be delayed.

In principle, the homemade brazier is ready. It remains to be assembled and bolted.

Simple brazier design ready to use

Leg manufacturing

There are a huge number of options here. Often they are made of sheet iron with a thickness of 3 mm, bending the letter "Z". To do this, you just have to make holes for the bolts in the bottom of the brazier and in each leg.

A more reinforced design - from fittings or tubes of small diameter. The main thing is to choose a way to connect the legs to the barbecue (collapsible). The easiest is to weld a bolt to the leg, make a hole in the bottom for it. From below, the leg is inserted into the brazier with a bolt and tightened with a nut from above.

There is another option - they weld to the lower edges of the end or side walls of the brazier at the places where the legs of the tube are installed with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the reinforcement. The length of the tubes is 3-4 cm. That is, the legs will simply be inserted into the tubes when assembling the brazier. It is impossible to weld to the bottom, because this element is not fixed to the barbecue structure. There is one point in this option - limiters are welded onto the legs in the form of washers or perpendicular transverse rods made, for example, from wire rod with a diameter of 6 mm. Although there are many options.

Barbecue legs made of smooth fittings

You can add a collapsible device for frying barbecue with different convenient devices. For example, handles for lifting the entire structure in the form of rings welded by electric welding or bolted to the end walls. You can do without handles by making slots for the fingers. Today, braziers in the form of barbecues are popular, that is, equipped with a lid and a net on which meat, poultry or fish are placed.

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer installation of stoves and fireplaces, as well as various turnkey metal structures. You can directly communicate with representatives by visiting the exhibition of houses "Low-Rise Country".

Conclusion

As an example, one type of collapsible brazier was considered: its drawings with dimensions, manufacturing and assembly technology. The main task of the manufacturer of works is to choose the correct dimensions of the structure and coordinate them with the customer. If you have any specific requirements, then it is advisable to discuss them with the master - the convenience of further use of the barbecue and the quality of cooking depend on this.

Dacha - for some, this word is associated with working in the garden or caring for trees, for someone with clean air, but for the vast majority with barbecue. It's hard to imagine best holiday than a visit to the dacha by a large, noisy company and gatherings at the barbecue with barbecue. It is the grill that we want to highlight this material, because frying meat on bricks or sticks is not very hygienic and healthy. In general, we believe that a dacha without a barbecue, like the life of a modern teenager without the Internet, seems to be real, but not at all the same effect.

Types of barbecues

In total, there are three main types of country barbecues: mobile, portable and stationary. Let's consider each of them in more detail:

A mobile brazier, or as it is also called a folding one, is best for those who like to travel and want to use the brazier not only in the country, but also take it with them on other trips.

The main advantages of a folding brazier are its mobility and light weight, as well as a very attractive price. When folded, it resembles a small suitcase that you can safely throw into the car, or even take it with you on a bicycle. But the smaller its weight, the thinner the material, and this leads to disadvantages: low heat capacity and the ability to burn through. Therefore, when buying a mobile barbecue, you should be prepared for its fairly quick wear.

The most popular and widespread is the portable grill.

This type of brazier is already more durable and reliable. If necessary, two people (preferably men) can easily move it from one place to another, for example, closer to the sun, or further from the rain. A portable brazier is more expensive than a folding one, but at the same time it is more durable, it life cycle measured not in times, but in seasons. The only drawback can be called, not very refined appearance. Often people want to make a truly exquisite barbecue area in the country, a stationary barbecue is the best way to do this.

For the manufacture of a stationary barbecue in the country, brick or cast iron is used.

This type of barbecue is already a whole structure, an integral part of which is the chimney. We note right away that a cast-iron or brick stationary barbecue will cost much more than a mobile or portable one, which is the main drawback. It is also much larger in size, but this drawback, with a competent design approach, is often turned into an advantage. Also, the “plus” of a stationary barbecue is a significant heat capacity, heating it up, you can fry whatever you want for a very long time and do not worry that the heat will not be enough and the meat will be raw.

Separately, it is worth paying attention to such a rapidly developing type of barbecue as an electric grill. In it, the skewers rotate on their own, and the meat is fried due to the heat that is released from the electric spirals.

Of course, this is very interesting invention, but since a person is often attracted by the process of cooking barbecue, in our country the electric grill has not yet taken root.

Do-it-yourself brazier for a summer residence

IN Lately among male summer residents, there has been a tendency to make a brick barbecue for giving with their own hands. Who has already done this - you can be proud of yourself, and who has not yet - do not be discouraged, now we will consider this process in detail. First of all, you need to draw up a brick barbecue project, choose the place where it will be installed, and calculate how many materials will be needed.

When the preparation is completed, and everything you need is at hand, we proceed to the construction of the barbecue. First of all, as in any other construction, you need to prepare the foundation. We dig a trench of the size you need, no more than half a meter deep. And we fill it with a sand cushion, on top of which we put a reinforcing mesh and fill it with concrete. After the foundation of the brazier has dried, you can move on.

Brick brazier plinth can be quite diverse and depends on financial capabilities. The first row of bricks is recommended to be laid dry, this will allow in the future to use only halves and whole blocks, without the need for crushing into parts. Given the water-absorbing properties of the brick, it is advisable to moisten it before laying in order to avoid further inconvenience. Brick must be laid strictly according to a pre-marked sketch.

We prepare the masonry mortar as follows: one portion of cement, one portion of slaked lime and three portions of sand are mixed with water and brought to a state of thick mass.

Starting from the second row, the brick is laid with a deviation of half a brick (in a kind of checkerboard pattern), which ensures maximum stability. Moreover, it is recommended to start from the corners, filling the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe partitions. The width and height of the basement of a brick stationary barbecue, as well as the presence of additional compartments, for example for firewood, depends on the desire and capabilities of the owner.

The most responsible and difficult stage is laying the brazier. To start laying its brick base, metal corners and reinforcing bars are placed between the walls, which are opposite. The brick barbecue oven itself is made from metal, which has a high density. To make the work of the brazier itself more efficient, several holes are left in its zone that are not filled with masonry mixture. By laying a few bricks at a slightly different level than the rest, you can get a place to use the grate.

Now your brick stationary brazier is ready for use, yet we recommend improving it a little more. For example, build additional compartments for household purposes, embellish its appearance a little, create a canopy.

Of course, the process of building a brazier with your own hands is not quite simple, and if you misunderstood something, you can always see photos of each stage of work on our website, as well as familiarize yourself with the drawings that will help when creating a brazier with your own hands.

Photos of various barbecues

Many do not imagine a full-fledged outdoor recreation without fragrant shish kebab. Craftsmen can make a brazier out of bricks with their own hands. It is simply necessary for the exit session.

Going to nature, you can build a compact design from improvised materials. And for a summer residence, a gazebo equipped with a barbecue is more suitable.

Where to start building?

Think about where you want to build a barbecue. It is better to choose a recreation area for this.

Care must be taken to provide protection from the weather. A homemade hearth can be installed in a country gazebo, under a canopy or in a partially open veranda.

Masters often take on the difficult task of how to make a brazier in the form of a multifunctional oven.

Indicators of medium sizes: width - 1.6 m; height - 1.6 m; depth - 0.8 m. For a multifunctional furnace, it is required to make a base, an example of which is a strip foundation.

The master usually supplements a complex design with various functional add-ons:

• Niches. They are convenient to use to store skewers and other utensils.
• Notches. Firewood is piled in them so that they dry near the hearth.
• Sink. It is installed when there is a real opportunity to bring communications. It is convenient to wash hands or dishes in it.

A table with benches is placed near the hearth. The owner is free to choose furniture from budget or expensive options, depending on their financial capabilities and taste preferences.

Brazier drawings will help to correctly create a project. After all, it is necessary to take into account not only the technical side of the issue, but also the aesthetic component.

If you look at the photo of the brazier, then it should be the central element of the composition. It is important that all surrounding objects are combined.

Construction of a brazier from a brick

The design involves the construction of a solid foundation. It is made from sand, gravel, cement and refractory bricks. except building tools the master will need a drill with a special nozzle or a concrete mixer to prepare the solution.

It is necessary to prepare reinforcing bars with a reinforcing mesh, as well as metal corners with hardware. The master prepares the material in advance to create the crate.

Phased construction

Mark the construction site and carry out the markup. After that, a pit is created with a width of 0.6 m and a length of 1.6 m.

The top layer of soil is removed to a depth of 0.6 m.

Make a pillow out of sand. Its thickness should not be less than 10 cm. The pillow must be carefully tamped. Formwork is placed around the perimeter of the pit.

The next step is knitting reinforcement. Metal bars are interconnected in the form of a lattice and lowered to the bottom of the pit.

Note!

Do cement mortar and pour it into the formwork. It must be pierced with a metal rod so that no air remains inside.

For the preparation of a cement mixture, grades 150 and 200 are suitable. Crushed stone with sand is also added to the solution. The proportional ratio of cement, sand and gravel is 1:3:5. The solution will also need water - 1 or 2 buckets, depending on how wet the sand is.

The compacted mortar is smoothed and leveled. Under the bricks you need to make an even base.

For waterproofing, roofing material and special mastics are used.

As soon as the foundation hardens, you can start laying.

Nuances that the master should be aware of

Furnace brick has excellent fire resistance, but in the cold it can become brittle. Therefore, a gazebo with a brick barbecue is the best option.

Note!

Before the beginning construction works material is soaked in water. Bricks are able to absorb liquid, which can adversely affect performance characteristics solution.

The mixture itself is prepared from other components and differs in consistency. It is made from cement, sand and slaked lime in a ratio of 1:3:1.

Laying starts from the corners. The length of the back wall is 3 bricks, and on the sides 2.5 bricks. The width must be at least 1.5 bricks. In the process of laying, the master gently taps the surface of the brick with a mallet in order to fit it closely to the next one.

metal structure

A metal brazier can be made by the craftsman who knows how to handle welding machine. The master will need sheet metal, metal corners or pieces of reinforcement, a pallet with a grate of the same dimensions and a marker with a tape measure.

The design is a deep brazier on legs-supports. If desired, the owner can supply the barbecue with a smokehouse, then the household will always have the opportunity to enjoy the delicacies of natural smoking.

Note!

Experienced craftsmen can try their hand at making homemade barbecues. From two connected cylinders, they create a brazier-smokehouse. The master will need the ability to work with a grinder and a drill.

The chimney is made of a pipe, and the stands, handles and legs are made of metal. It is necessary to prepare hinges, nuts with bolts, special enamel and a wick. The brazier from the balloon can be decorated at your discretion.

The main thing in this business is creativity.

DIY brazier photo

Favorite entertainment in nature or in the country is eating barbecue in the fresh air. To prepare it, you need high-quality meat, a little skill, and of course the right barbecue grill.

A huge selection of these devices is on sale, from lightweight portable to stationary, which are installed in the country. However, every self-respecting man can make a metal grill with his own hands.

The origin of the concept - barbecue

The word "brazier" in translation from some Caucasian dialects (namely, the culture of cooking barbecue came from there) means a basket of coal. It is this method of cooking meat that is recognized as a classic - pre-prepared pieces are strung on a skewer (metal or wooden), and roasted over hot coals.

After some time, Western traditions came to us - barbecue. This method of cooking is different from the barbecue. A grate is placed above the hot coals, on which large pieces of meat are placed, cut across the fibers. Skewers in this case Not needed.

There is another kind of devices for frying meat - a grill. A spit is placed above the basket with coals, on which you can fry large pieces of meat, and even whole carcasses.
Modern brazier designs industrial production often combine barbecue and barbecue.

Progress does not stand still, and the oldest method of cooking meat has undergone improvements. Instead of a coal basket, you can use a gas burner or an electric heating element. We will consider the classic types of barbecues - using coals.

Main types

Despite the apparent simplicity of the design, certain rules must be observed. To begin with, we will analyze the main types of barbecues:

Portable without basket

In fact, this is not even a brazier, but two guides on which skewers can be installed. A deepening in the ground, or a hearth made of stones and earth, is used as a basket with coal. This is the most convenient device in terms of mobility. An indispensable option for hiking. However, high-quality kebabs cannot be cooked with it. Sometimes picnic participants simply set up a few found bricks around the fire.

Portable brazier with a basket for coals

The most common design. The basket is made of metal (the best option is stainless steel). Removable legs are screwed on from below. The basket itself can be collapsible or solid. This makes it easy to carry. On this grill, you can cook a full-fledged barbecue or barbecue, if you install a grate on top. Such a device, as a rule, is taken by motorists with them when organizing a picnic in nature.

Do-it-yourself metal grills are a mandatory attribute of private households. Dimensions, photos of individual product options will help you create a unique design yourself. Useful designs are often used for outdoor picnics and recreation. A ready-made drawing with all the necessary dimensions, which is used in the work as a sample, will help to make the product on its own.

Durable and beautiful brazier will decorate the whole yard

What are the types of barbecues?

Simplified do-it-yourself metal braziers have the shape of a rectangular body. Dimensions and photos of devices are presented in this review. Coals are placed inside the container, which create the necessary heat. There is a significant number of products that differ from standard models.

There are the following types of barbecues:

• stationary are massive structures that are placed on a rigid base. Metal devices can become a beautiful and stylish element. Such models are durable and diverse;

Mangals are stationary

• portable are characterized by compactness. They are lighter and easy to transport by car. Portable products are made of thin metal, which is quickly deformed;

How to make a non-separable brazier model with your own hands from metal: drawings, photos

It is not so difficult to create devices for stationary beautiful barbecues made of metal. To make a simple brazier in the shape of a rectangle, you need to prepare:

• fittings and corners of racks;
• steel plate;
• drill;
• grinder with a suitable stone;
• electric and gas welding.

Before work, you need to prepare a drawing. It marks all the dimensions of the planned structure, the location of the recesses for the skewers and the distance between the perforations.

A constant value is the height of the side of the barbecue, 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, it will take a lot.

Other sizes are selected according to individual preferences:

• the width should correspond to the size of the skewers and be 8-10 cm smaller;
• the length depends on the amount of kebab that will be fried at the same time. The distance between the skewers should be 7-9 cm. Under the skewers, special recesses are made along the long side;
• when choosing the size of a barbecue grill made of metal, you need to consider the height of the legs, which depends on individual preferences. For portable devices, they are small. High legs are in welded structures;
• The thickness of the material depends on the type of construction. For a stationary device, it can be 3 mm or more. And for a portable product, it is better to choose a material with a thickness of about 2 mm.

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.

Step-by-step instructions and features of drawings of metal barbecues with dimensions

Do-it-yourself original barbecue devices are 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, it is worth preparing a steel sheet, a grinder, a drill, fasteners and corners.

The standard assembly of the structure consists of separate stages:

Image	Stages of work
	Marks of the bottom and walls of the planned structure are made on the metal.
	The future shape is cut along the marked lines .
	The edges are bent and welded. Perforations are made using a drill.
	Chamfers are made in long walls.
	The legs are most conveniently made from a corner, pointed down and welded to the box.

The brazier is made from a barrel or a gas cylinder. In addition to the container, you will need a grinder, a drill, metal corners and a welding machine. First, marking is done and the upper region of the barrel is cut out. The end sections remain in place. A lid is made from the top. 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.

Useful advice! Legs can be built from rods. At the same time, threads are cut and nuts are fastened. You can connect the elements with bolts, which allows you to create a stronger structure.

The nuances of manufacturing collapsible options

It is easy to make installations collapsible from metal. Photo shows interesting solutions.

Such a design does not require welding equipment. But you will need drills, a drill, a steel sheet, nuts and corners. As with the non-separable version, a drawing is made and elements are cut out of 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. Segments of pipes are put on prepared pipe supports. The boards are connected with bolts. To increase the strength of the structure, it is recommended to strengthen the walls with the help of longitudinal spokes, tightened with nuts. Holes for screws are drilled in the sides.

The legs are made from corners, while holes are drilled on the walls for connection with 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 brazier with a metal cauldron consists of the following components:

• the fuel chamber contains two parts. At a certain distance from the bottom, a metal grate is installed, which reduces the intensity of the fire.
• compartment for dry fuel. good models equipped with a compartment where coals are;
• wheels in combination with a handle will allow you to make a mobile structure;
• mounted on some models;
• as additional attributes, a small table, a mechanical skewer and a place for skewers are used.

Unusual barbecue ideas

A simple solution is a barbecue using a barrel. The design can be with or without a cover. The barrel is divided into two parts. The top is used as a cover, and the legs are welded to the bottom. Be sure to make holes for ventilation, and small shelves are attached to the edges. On them you can install a grill for frying and skewers.

Braziers with forging elements look great. They are equipped with additional attributes: stands, shelves or wheels. There are various types of braziers designed with your own hands:

• forged cast iron brazier is original. It is decorated with any figures and patterns;

• a brazier from a car can be made from former vehicles. At the same time, you can get rid of the old body and make an unusual and luxurious hearth for the yard;

• construction from an old computer case;

Variant from an old computer Drum washing machine Original brazier

Creating unusual designs depends on the imagination and personal preferences.

Corrosion protection features

The metal product must be protected from. For dyeing, special compositions 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 is formed on the metal surface, which protects the structure from heat.

The procedure for bluing is as follows:

• the surface is degreased;
• individual elements are aged for one and a half hours in a solution of caustic soda, which is taken in 50 grams. per liter of water.

Processing takes place at a temperature of 140 degrees. Stainless steel can be used instead of sheet metal. A device made of this material is not afraid of weather conditions, picking up and does not corrode. Such structures can last for decades.

An unusual solution for creating a brazier are gas cylinders with a capacity of 40 liters. They can be called suitable because of the rather thick metal and a certain shape. Before use, they must be burned well to get rid of gas condensate. The wall thickness of a steel product with forging reinforcement should be about 4 mm, and from non-reinforced forging - from 6 mm.

To create quality construction the following rules must be observed:

• cutting must be done with accuracy, the tolerance can be no more than 0.5 mm;
• the workpiece must be fastened with clamps to the edge of the table;
• angle grinder should be bigger. The larger the plane, the more accurate the cut.

Doing work, do not forget about safety. Wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles.
