Here we will consider two examples of creating a barbecue in the so-called "apocalyptic style." From such a barbecue, the protagonist from the movie “Mad Max” lit a cigarette, and in such barbecue barbecues the rangers from “Fallout” roasted rats. Both braziers are assembled very simply, and no abstruse drawings are required. Everything is made from ready-made blanks, in our case it will be either a gas cylinder or an automobile gas tank.
Materials and tools for homemade:
Of the materials you will need: an unnecessary large gas tank, an old gas cylinder (for the second brazier), a door handle (used to create a brazier handle), door hinges, small handles (for covers), metal pipes (to create legs for the second brazier), thin metal tubes (useful for hardening the structure), latch (needed for convenient closure of the lid, which is made from a cylinder), nuts and bolts.
For work, such tools will be needed: a drill, a tool for cutting metal (a grinder or a hacksaw), an iron brush for cleaning rust, a welding machine, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers and other tools will come in handy.
We collect a brazier from a gas tank:
Step one. We prepare and cut the tank
The old tank is likely to be very dirty and rusty; it needs to be cleaned with a wire brush. According to the author, there is no need to clean the tank to a shine, since it will not look like an “apocalyptic” one. To simplify this process, you can use a grinder with a metal hedgehog.
Next, you need to mark the tank by eye with chalk and then cut it so that the upper part forms a lid. Specifically, in this homemade product there is a separate compartment in which the barbecue is ignited, it has its own lid. After the necessary part is cut, it is important not to forget to necessarily file the edges of the metal with a file, otherwise you can be injured during further work and use.
The main cover is attached using door hinges. A small one is installed on a pair of bolts with nuts, it should rotate.
Step Two Stiffening rib
Since the gas tank is made of thin metal, after sawing it will spring, for these purposes it must be strengthened. Spacers are made of small steel tubes. On the lid, one spacer will serve to support the support, which will keep the barbecue lid open.
Step Three Brass Handles
To make the brazier convenient to carry, on the sides the most ordinary metal door handles are attached to it.
Despite the fact that the brazier is intended to work as stationary, it will not hurt him to make metal legs. But this is already at the request of the master, they can be welded or bolted with nuts.
We collect a brazier from a cylinder:
Barbecue grill is made in a similar way. That is, first you need to cut out the upper part so that a lid is formed. The cover is fastened with hinges so that it can move.
The brazier also has legs, they can freely move to different angles, the legs are fixed with bolts and nuts.
So that the grill cover does not spontaneously open during transportation, a heck is provided in the design. It would be possible to use a magnet, but they are demagnetized by heating. However, during transportation, the cover can be fixed with a magnet.
In conclusion, to make the brazier more brutal, you can put signs like ☢ on it, like a radiation symbol, a picture with a skull ☠, or draw a biohazard icon. For these purposes, you need a heat-resistant paint or chemical pencil.
According to the author, such a brazier is going to quickly and simply, most importantly, choose a good workpiece. As for the cost, then homemade work will cost a penny, this is nothing compared to its style and reliability.
