Forged braziers: features and beautiful examples of design

The smell of roasted meat with smoke can not be confused with any other. Delicious, fragrant and juicy kebabs can be cooked on a warm summer day or at any time of the year, having a fixed or portable brazier. Forged barbecues are considered to be the most interesting designs.

You can cook roasted meat in the usual way in a frying pan or in the oven, but an aromatic kebab cooked on the grill is more than just a tasty dish. Cooking such dishes is a fascinating process where there are no trifles.The master of his craft will cook them in elegant dishes, serve cooked meat on a dish. A kebab, cooked on a wrought iron grill, will complement the overall picture and make the rest more beautiful.

Barbecues are often installed at the dacha plots or in private households. Such an original thing will perfectly fit into any landscape and will delight with functionality.

To make a wrought-iron grill, use:

• Metal sheets that are highly durable.
• Thick stainless steel. Such a material will perfectly cope with the very high temperature that a product undergoes during cooking.
• Cast iron, which also has high resistance to high temperatures and is not afraid of fire. But cast iron braziers have their own peculiarity - if the surface is very cool, cracks may appear on it. Work with this design should be more careful.
• Heat-resistant steel is the most commonly used option, optimal in terms of price-quality ratio.

If the brazier is made of less durable materials, it will quickly burn through. This product is useful only for the infrequent preparation of kebabs. If the meat with smoke and barbecue is often prepared for the table, it is worth choosing forged designs from more durable material.

These models differ in their design and functionality. In the manufacture of the master relies on sketches of the customer. Often, according to his wish, additional accessories are made, for example, barbecue grills. Often forged barbecues are stationary, they can equip the roof or they are placed in a wrought-iron gazebo. A distinctive feature of the brazier is their unique image, which can be created by masters of their craft.

Today you can find various types of barbecues, which are made by forging.

These constructions are a brazier,which can be easily transferred to any place. Such products are not heavy, they can be transported in the trunk of a car to grill kebabs in nature. For portable structures rarely used elegant forged curls and unusual design with original elements. Most often, such designs are simply functional, without undue design.

Portable structures may have collapsible legs., they are easily removed and carried away to any place; during storage, they occupy a minor place. This collapsible grill is suitable for giving, going to nature.

The stationary construction is not used for carrying; these are classic models for making juicy meat that have an open top.

For stationary structures using steel or cast iron.

Stationary structures are the most spectacular., they can be designed in various original ways, for example, in the form of a carriage, a luxurious wagon or in the form of unusual figures. It may even be fabulous characters or animal figures.

Multifunctional devices allow you to cook shish kebab, barbecue, grill using barbeque dishes. These include:

• Brazier combined with cauldron. For its fixing set forged chain with a ring.

• Shashlik with a hood. Consists of a brazier and hood for smoke extraction. They are made with a special coating that protects the roaster from dust and debris, rain.

Braziers with a roof allow you to cover the product from sunlight and rain. Such "umbrellas" will protect the carved brazier from any natural surprises. Such devices are more often stationary and designed for a long service life.

Roof for barbecue is made in different ways:

• with a continuous coating;
• with the presence of holes for smoke;
• by type of hood.

It is important to properly care for forged barbecue. If the device is portable, take it to the storage room at the end of the season. Pre-brazier should be cleaned and washed with water, which is added to the dishware. The surface is cleaned with a brush and left to dry.

After the surface is completely dry, it is smeared with vegetable oil. It is easy to care for such products, as all the details of the construction are cleaned.

Each master of artistic forging has certain secrets in the manufacture of forged products, although the basis of the work is almost the same. Brazier is a rectangular box, inside which is placed the coal or firewood. It is made most often of metal or steel. The sides with the bottom fasten welding. The design should not be cracks.

Other materials are often used for the external part of the brazier., for example, wood, therefore the construction is treated with fire-impregnation, and installation is carried out, taking into account safety rules.

Metal rods of different shapes serve as a support more often. Sometimes they are performed in the form of openwork plexuses, geometric shapes or wavy lines. Cold forging is often used to give the rods of the original form, and hot forging is often used.

The whole design is decorated with all sorts of decorative details in the form of leaves, buds, embossed shapes. They are made of a thin sheet of metal, then they are applied by welding on the structure.

After the manufacture of forged products should be sanding. Thus, flaws are removed in the form of sharp edges or burrs. The surface is treated with anti-corrosion compounds to protect the metal surface from environmental influences. At the final stage, the mangal is painted.

When deciding to make a product yourself, you should create a drawing. Using sketches, it is much easier to do all the work of manufacturing. When determining the size of the product should take into account its functionality and provide the necessary comfort during its operation.

If you plan to manufacture barbecue for 10 skewers, the optimal length is 1 meter. On one skewer, on average, 8 pieces of meat are placed, so it is better to choose a width of 30 cm, which will ensure maximum warming of the meat. The depth for the brazier choose about 15 cm, in this case, the coals will not touch the products.

To determine what should be the distance from the earth's surface, you should bend the arm with a skewer, the height at which it is convenient to hold the arm bent will be optimal.Make a brazier, given the growth of the grinder. The height of the sides is made at the level of his belt.

The end side should be made removable to be able to clean the ashes. Also make a fixation for skewers, so that the meat is evenly fried on each side.

If you make the device yourself, you can make the sides higher, thereby protecting its use, in addition, it will improve the process of cooking meat dishes. In order to make the grill more stable, a shelf for firewood is placed below, thereby shifting the center of gravity.

To decorate the metal, in the manufacture of forged products used laser and plasma cutting. Products using laser cutting can be an alternative to an expensive forged product. They have a solid construction, easy to assemble. For the manufacture of taking solid sheets of steel, decorate them with patterns and decorations, which are made by laser cutting.

The main characteristics of laser-cut products are:

• obtaining beautiful decor and patterns;
• production of various parts in shape and size;
• These designs are much stronger than forged products.

Often for the manufacture of forged braziers used hot forging, which requires special skill in their manufacture. In the process of cutting plasma does not require such physical costs. With the help of artistic cutting, the process will be much faster, and the shape of the product will be thinner and delicate.

During operation, the metal is heated to a very high temperature for a short period of time, while the technical characteristics of the metal remain the same. In the process on the product does not form flows, therefore, grinding the finished product is not required.

Plasma cutting is carried out on metal of various thickness. The device for cutting can produce temperatures up to 30,000 degrees, and a depth of cutting up to 20 cm. Figured cutting is used for convex products and screen sculpture.
