Are you tired of always grilling on your basic backyard grill? Have you considered building your own homemade brick barbecue? Not only will it be a great addition to your outdoor space, but it will also add a touch of rustic charm to your backyard gatherings. In this DIY guide, we will walk you through step by step on how to build your own brick barbecue from scratch.

Materials you will need:

  • Bricks
  • Cement
  • Sand
  • Grill grate
  • Shovel
  • Trowel
  • Masonry brush
  • Level

Step 1: Choose the location

Before you start building, select the perfect spot in your backyard for your brick barbecue. You’ll want a level area that is not too close to any combustible materials. Keep in mind the accessibility of the barbecue in relation to your kitchen or outdoor dining area.

Step 2: Prepare the foundation

Start by digging a shallow trench where the base of your brick barbecue will sit. It should be about 4 inches deep and as wide as the planned size of your barbecue. Fill the trench with gravel and compact it down to create a solid foundation.

Step 3: Lay the first layer of bricks

Using a trowel, spread a layer of mortar on the foundation. Begin laying the bricks on the mortar, ensuring they are level and evenly spaced. Use a level to check the alignment of each brick. Continue this process until you have completed the first layer of bricks.

Step 4: Build the walls

Apply mortar on top of the first layer of bricks and start stacking the second layer on top. Make sure to stagger the bricks for added stability. Repeat this process until the walls of the barbecue reach your desired height. Don’t forget to leave space for the grill grate.

Step 5: Create the cooking surface

On one side of the brick walls, leave an opening for the grill grate to sit. Fill this area with smaller bricks or fireproof stones to create a level and stable surface for your grill grate.

Step 6: Finishing touches

Once the structure is complete, use a masonry brush to remove any excess mortar from the bricks. Allow the barbecue to dry and cure for at least 24 hours before using it for the first time. You can also customize your brick barbecue by adding a stone countertop or a built-in chimney for a more impressive final touch.

With these easy-to-follow steps, you can build your own homemade brick barbecue and enhance your outdoor cooking experience. Get ready to impress your family and friends with mouthwatering grilled meals all summer long. Enjoy!
