A street focus is a bonfire, a barbecue and a grill in the country

If the dacha is used not only as a garden-garden,but also as a resting place, then in the yard, of course, it is necessary to install a brazier, a barbecue or at least an unpretentious open fireplace. All these devices today can be purchased at the store ready. However, since they are made of metal, special reliability and durability do not differ. Therefore, it is still necessary to erect a more solid brick structure on the countryside.

How to make a hearth-fire: the choice of a place

Sometimes it happens that the construction of a largestationary barbecue or barbecue, the owners of the country plot have no money or even just time. In this case, it is necessary to quickly build a small outdoor fireplace. It can be built, in total, literally in a couple of hours.

First of all, it is necessary to choose for such a sourcea place. Do not place a fireplace, for example, next to a fence, a wall of the house or tall trees. It is best to find for him some flat open area. The dimensions of the fireplace should be such that the people sitting around do not subsequently experience discomfort.

How to make a home in the country

Under the fireplace in the ground you need to dig a smallThe pit (depth 30-40 cm). It is best to make it round. In this case, the ready hearth will look spectacular. A deeper trench under the walls should be excavated around the excavation. On its bottom you need to pour small gravel. The same material should be laid and on the bottom of the foundation pit.

Then the very walls of the hearth are laid out. If the shape of the fireplace is square, for this purpose it is worth using high-quality red or chamotte brick. For a round hearth, rubble stone is more suitable. The laying can be carried out on a solution made of high-grade cement and sand in a ratio of 1x3. But it is better to use for construction of walls of such design as the focus on giving a clay solution with salt or a special mixture. You can buy it in the building materials store.

Too high walls of the hearth donot necessarily - 30-40 cm is enough. After the skirts are ready, and the mortar is fully seized, you can start pouring concrete bottom. For strength, it should be reinforced with a metal rod or mesh.

After pouring the bottom should be located at a depth offrom the ground level of about 15 cm. In this case, the outdoor fireplace for a fire will be much easier to clean. You can even slightly raise its bottom above the surface of the soil. However, in this case, of course, it is necessary to build much higher walls. It is also not bad to put benches near this kind of fireplace - ordinary or semicircular (depending on the shape of the hearth).

BBQ or BBQ?

A nicely laid out street fireplace canbecome a real decoration of the suburban area. But agree that much more respectable in the courtyards of country cottages or apartment houses look great mangals or barbecue, laid out of bricks.

There is no fundamental difference between these two constructions. The main difference is that in the first case skewers are used for frying meat, and in the second case there is a grill.

However, many holiday-makers today are called a braziera simpler structure designed specifically for frying meat on fire. Barbecue is considered the whole complex, in addition to the oven itself of simple design, which includes:

• table;
• a sink;
• sometimes a grill and other similar additional devices.

Of course, such a large convenient constructionYou can erect only if you have enough funds. As for the actual technology of construction, it does not differ much from the technique of erecting an ordinary brazier.

Filling the foundation

And BBQ dacha, and barbecue in the event that theyerected from brick, should be installed on a solid concrete foundation. The foundation for these heavy structures is worth making a slab. Under their foundation, a foundation ditch 40-50 cm in depth is excavated in the ground. A layer of sand is poured onto the bottom in addition. Then the concrete is poured into a thickness of about 5 cm. And after it has solidified, formwork and a reinforcing cage are installed. Then the foundation is poured. Its surface, as a result, should be absolutely flat and horizontal.

The erection of the barbecue

After the basement concrete ripens (minimumin two weeks), it is possible to start assembling the brazier itself. Laying should be conducted with a bandage of stitches in half a brick. The stone is laid on three walls. They should be located strictly at right angles to each other.

After the walls have been raised to the heightabout 70-80 cm, one row of bricks need to be moved a little deeper into the brazier. The bottom of a brazier made of thick metal will subsequently be laid on the resulting support. Further laid out two more rows of bricks - this will be the walls of the brazier. Ahead, above the "empty" place laying on the steel corners.

In principle, the construction of a furnace forkebabs on this can and finish. Learned in this way, an open mangal dacha will be quite easy to use. However, it is still necessary to lay three of its walls at a height of 80 cm and cover the resulting structure with a cone-shaped or pyramidal tin chimney. The latter can be bent on its own or purchased at the store.

Features of erection of a barbecue

A brick fireplace in the street of this varietyis collected on the same principle as the brazier. However, in this case, two more are laid out at a certain distance from the two parallel walls of the structure (to the height of the bottom of the brazier or just below).

Subsequently, between them and the furnace itselfmetal sheets are installed. In one of the resulting table tops, a hole is made for the sink. Above the brazier in the barbecue is usually additionally suspended rod-grill.

Portable structures

As you can see, the laying of barbecue or barbecue, and somore such unpretentious design as a street hearth-bonfire - it's absolutely simple. It is absolutely not required for a stovekeeper to build such structures. The main thing is to do everything without hurry, using a plumb line and a building level.

If on such a simple procedure asthe construction of street standard construction, the owners of the suburban area do not have enough time, you can buy a ready-made portable hearth. However, in this case, special attention should be paid to the quality of the device.

The hearth is made - whether it be a fireplace, a grill orbarbecue - should be made of thick enough metal. As for the design of the design, which can be different (often very unusual), in this case everything depends solely on the taste preferences of the owners of the dacha or a country house.
