Are you tired of the same old gas grill and looking to upgrade your outdoor cooking experience? Why not consider building and cooking on a brick barbecue? Not only is it a fun DIY project, but it also adds a touch of rustic charm to your backyard. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps of building your own brick barbecue and share some tips for cooking delicious meals on it.

What You Will Need

To begin your brick barbecue project, you will need the following materials:

  • Bricks
  • Cement
  • Concrete blocks
  • Grill grates
  • Plumbing clay pipe
  • Wire mesh
  • Measuring tape
  • Trowel
  • Level

Building the Brick Barbecue

Follow these steps to build your brick barbecue:

  1. Choose a suitable location in your backyard where you want to build the barbecue.
  2. Begin by digging a foundation trench. The trench should be four to six inches deep and at least two feet wider on each side compared to the size of your desired barbecue.
  3. Fill the trench with cement and level it using a trowel.
  4. Position concrete blocks on the cement to create the base of your barbecue. Ensure they are level and securely in place.
  5. Start stacking bricks around the perimeter of the concrete blocks, ensuring they are tightly packed together. Leave openings for the cooking area and ventilation.
  6. Build a second layer of bricks on top of the first, staggering them to create a sturdy structure.
  7. Add a layer of wire mesh on top of the bricks to reinforce the structure.
  8. Create a cooking surface using grill grates placed on top of the wire mesh.
  9. Finally, install a plumbing clay pipe at one end of the barbecue to serve as a chimney.

Cooking on Your Brick Barbecue

Once your brick barbecue is built, you can start enjoying the unique flavors it offers. Here are some tips to get you started:

  • Preheat your brick barbecue before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
  • Experiment with different types of wood to add a smoky flavor to your dishes.
  • Use indirect grilling for larger cuts of meat to ensure they are cooked thoroughly.
  • Keep a spray bottle of water nearby to control flare-ups, if necessary.
  • Regularly clean your grill grates to prevent food from sticking and maintain their longevity.

With these tips in mind, you are ready to build your own brick barbecue and enjoy the delicious meals it can produce. Get started on the project today and elevate your outdoor cooking game!
