I would LOVE to build a old school brick bbq into my new garden, and i guess seeing as im at the planning stage, its the right time to consider it.

limited area for choice due to backing onto either fence, or being very near artifital grass.

any thoughts ????

Can you lay bricks? If so build it

never laid a brick in my puff. But then again, i'd never fitted a central heating system when i di my own, and 3 years down the line, its still working perfectly well.....

i'll practice for a few hours every night before i build. Just need to find a nice plan, want a smoker and a bbq in one, got permission from the mrs to use 3m2 for bbq/firepit/ lads stuff.

I no understandy whats the purpose of that Giles there's enough worksurfaces to feed an army and no where to cook for them. Is it just a fireplace from a design point of view it's too busy and sited badly you could be 3ft from that fire but because it's exposed with no shelter you'll still be cold. It screams new money but if more thought went into it and it was toned down and better sited it would be a lovely addition. I've built lads of pits etc over the years and the concept is great but I doubt if most see their full potential or even get used more than twice a year.

thats a beast !!!!

i'd love a smoker, but building one in brick is going to be hard, as it needs a door !!! at the very least im building a 4 food wide, 2 food deep brick bbq, with all the metal work in t316, as my fabricator friend has offered to do it for a rack of ribs !

still, i have a plan, money, and time. this means anything is possible.

Have a look at these mate, http://www.bluestonewater.com/wood-fired-oven.htm, guy called Ben runs the company and has designed and sells them out of the Bristol area, bit of the best of both worlds.

i'm going to guess and say they ain't cheap.....

I was thinking more redneck texas style. Might even buy a smoker, then, brick it into a nice bbq housing.

Still, my landscaping is taking all my time right now, so until i'm doine with that, its on a back burner.......pardon the pun
