There is nothing like having outdoor BBQ with surrounded by family and friends and kids playing around please check the Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVmNKqPs52E i did my garden up and it's so cool that lots of people on my Road are getting their gardens done, but building it yourself is totaly different feeling. I built this 2 in 1 BBQ OVEN with old Clay bricks which i had picked from one of my neighbors who got extantion done in there house. I used around 120 bricks. Feelings are on next level when building your own brick BBQ in hot summers espacially these days when weathers go to extream. We have been having quite hot long summers in UK for few years now.

 Finding a good spot for your BBQ:

Choose a site for your BBQ that is flat and reasonably protected from the winds also it should be away from shrubs or bushes and it should be close to your kitchen.

 Lay out the foundations:

Mark the area but make sure it's larger then your BBQ area, Add hardcore and compact it down well with a whacker plate.
 Mark out your base
Best way to me was by putting barbecue tray on the floor and lay the bricks around it.
 Continuing the first course
Holding the next brick in one hand, apply 10mm on the brick's vertical joint, this is known as buttering. Now push this buttered brick against the first brick to form a vertical join. scrape your trowel along the side to make a clean edge.
 Finish the first course
Follow this format to complete the first course – constantly checking with the spirit level and square. first layer is perfectly square.

Staggering the courses

Before you start the second layer, it’s important that you stagger each level – each course must maintain a 1/2 brick overlap to bond your project together. This means you’ll have to cut bricks to achieve a staggering effect. To cut, lay the brick on the ground and mark a cutting line around the brick with a bolster and mash hammer. Now place the bolster in the groove and firmly strike it. You could also use an angle grinder with a masonry disc. Continue to stagger each layer, constantly checking you’re square and level in both directions. Build nine layers. 


 

On the tenth row your coal tray and Oven will need support so you will need to lay two bricks cross each side.


After finishing 11th layer you will need to add grill support which are 4 metal plates which you can build into the mortar. Build supports for the drip tray at level 12 and 14th,


Build one more layer on top the jobs done, please give at least 24 hours before using it.
