To date, the topic of construction and the creation of all kinds of barbecue facilities, smokehouses, barbecue stoves made of stone is very popular. Let's look at another rather unusual type of stone brazier, and its peculiarity is that it resembles a “tandoor” in shape but has natural gaps in the walls through which air flows to the burning center. According to the author, it is possible to start frying meat on it without waiting for the wood to burn out and turn into coals, just a little more often you need to turn the skewer or wire rack.
A stone brazier does not require a serious foundation, a small depression with a gravel rammed backfill is quite enough. Stones can be obtained for free: in a quarry, along the banks of rivers and ponds, along roadsides. Then the collected stones should be thoroughly washed with water and a metal brush, so the solution will adhere more firmly to the stone surface. For masonry, the author used a special masonry mixture for stoves and fireplaces, withstands high temperatures.
And so, let's look at what exactly is needed to create a stone brazier?
Materials1. stone
2. coarse gravel
3. masonry mix for laying stoves and fireplaces (heat-resistant)
Instruments1. shovel
2. trowel
3. roulette
Step-by-step instructions for building stone barbecue do it yourself.This type of brazier advised the author to build his friend, and he saw such a miracle while relaxing in the south. They consulted and decided to repeat on their native land) We went to the quarry, scored more stones (a freebie))) How much is unknown, by eye) It was decided to put the brazier closer to the recreation area next to the gazebo, so that when cooking and frying the barbecue everything was close by. As already mentioned above, it is not necessary to fill the foundation here, a small depression on the bayonet of a shovel and a size of 1x1 m is quite enough.
First, stones were prepared and laid out, so that it was convenient to choose stones that were suitable in size and configuration.
The topsoil is removed, the earth can be used on the beds.
We go deep by 25-30 cm.
This is quite enough, but if you want, you can fill in a small concrete slab.
At the bottom of the pit a couple of buckets of coarse gravel fall out and are carefully rammed.
Then the first row of stones is laid out. For the foundation, the largest stones should be selected and laid out in a circle on a gravel pillow.
The next row is laid out from smaller stones on a special masonry mixture for stoves and fireplaces.
Attention!You can’t upload the whole barbecue immediately! Laid out a number, let the solution freeze for at least a day! This is necessary so that the structure simply does not part, because the stones have a large weight and an irregular shape.
The author used just such a masonry mixture for laying stoves and barbecues (heat-resistant)
Each subsequent row goes on narrowing.
Of course, everything was done with an assistant))
Made a temporary lid from 200 liters of the barrel.
And here’s the arbor itself overgrown with grapes,
country house is still under construction and the gazebo is the main place to relax after a hard day.
Next, just start a fire inside and start frying the kebab.
As already mentioned above, there is no need to wait until the wood burns out and coals are formed, we start frying immediately, we just turn over more often.
But the fire naturally does not have to be strong, otherwise it simply burns out)) The lighted fire should support slow burning.
After the whole kebab is fried, you can simply burn firewood and use it as a hearth.
In winter, the author really missed the cottage and made
the garage a kind of grill, only as a basis I took a metal thick-walled barrel with holes in the lower part for air access and the grate, I fixed the fittings in the upper part to lay the meat grill.
It turns out pretty well and the coals are constantly there after such a barbecue, you can reuse them. Bon Appetit
