Build a brick bbq

[Jimmy Conway]

Just back from Xmas night out and was talking about my garden plans for next year when someone suggested building a permanent extitior brick BBQ in my garden.

I know it's not really a paving question but does anyone have any experience of building a brick BBQ or similar? Or is this sounding just like a good idea after 8 pints?

An advice greatly appreciated.,

Many thanks in advance:

Building a brick bbq is well within the scope of a competant diyer such as yourself. We welcome diversity jimbo. Been a long time since i downed 8 pints, mine used to be more like 28 back in the day

Thanks for the help with my questions Sean.

Im still in planning stages but hopefully bit extra research and the help from you guys passing on your knowledge and experience makes doing it easier and I shouldn't have any unnecessary complications.

Small garden so that should make life easier.

Found heat resistant cement online.

Thanks

I love my brick bbq. It's just a basic one but I wish that I would have built a Spanish style one with a smoker oven.

I've also got one built out of an oil drum. It's a good bbq but it only ever gets used when we have a lot of people round and we need 2 on the go at the same time.

brick BBQs work fine
I built mine a few years back will post a picture when i can find one
the key thing is to find steel hotplates and griling bars and build it to those dimensions leaving metal lugs out to support the racks
