Braziers with a roof: the advantages of models and nuances of construction

With the arrival of warm days I want to plunge into a pleasant suburban atmosphere. And here, well, can not do without the brazier. So that the weather does not spoil the plans and desires at all, it is worth choosing roof grills that are ideal for any villa.

Many prefer the traditional grill. This choice is due to the fact that they can be easily moved under the roof of any structure. However, this method seems simple, but in fact it can easily lead to fires. Yes, and besides, not every roof can become a complete canopy. Of course, the grill with a roof wins. The main advantage of this model is the protection of preparing dishes and the person who prepares them.And the roof protects not only from bad weather (rain, snow), but also from too much scorching sun. One more plus of braziers with a roof is an opportunity to cook kebabs at any time of the year.

Despite the obvious advantages, there is a barbecue with a roof and obvious disadvantages. The most important of them is the high cost of such models. Particularly expensive are barbecues with wrought iron items. Among the shortcomings worth noting immobility barbecues with a roof, for example, you will not take it with you to the beach or to a picnic in the woods. Even within the country house it is not always possible to move such barbecues. Of course, the high cost of a brazier with a roof can be compensated by a homemade model. After all, in fact, such braziers are easy to do with your own hands.

There are many types of outdoor grills with a roof. First of all, these foci are divided according to the method of installation.

As it becomes clear from the name, stationary braziers are installed in one place and it is very difficult to move them. Most often stationary braziers are made brick and with a foundation.

Among these frying foci there are the following types:

• BBQ with barbecue;
• grill;
• with kazan;
• with a table;
• with stove.

They can be transferred. Although it is still not very convenient, since even when disassembled, the models are too cumbersome. These braziers are often made from metal.

By functionality, barbecues are also divided into several types.

• Simple barbecues with a roof make it easy to cook an ordinary kebab or fish with smoke. The functions of even such a brazier can be expanded, for example, to set a spit to smoke meat.
• Professional braziers are equipped with a frying zone, a smokehouse and a table. In some modern models there is also a compact cooking stove with a pipe.

In fact, the choice of barbecue in the first place depends on where the design will be installed and what dishes will be prepared on it. There are more closed models, there are with a glass roof, with a washstand and other additional or original elements. Various types of garden barbecues can not only get rid of smoke, protect from the weather, but also transform the entire summer cottage.

Choosing a mangal with a roof to give among a large number of options may seem very difficult. In order to make this choice as easy as possible, it’s enough to decide on your operational requirements for barbecues, aesthetic wishes, taste preferences and, of course, financial possibilities.

Those who prefer the classics and traditions are best to opt for the most simple models with a roof. Such options are best suited for giving. But for travelers who often rest in the woods or on the banks of reservoirs, collapsible barbecues are ideal. After all, they are installed in minutes. In addition, they are compact and have a low price.

On the garden plots, stationary barbecues under the roof with movable braziers look great. Wooden houses for the brazier look especially attractive. A wrought-iron grill will become a worthy decoration of the dacha, which displays a chic fantasy of blacksmiths. It is best to opt for models with artistic forging and patinating. Beauty, comfort and good quality carry in themselves stone and brick structures with a canopy.The only basis of such braziers remains the frying center or grill, and everything else can be as you like.

When choosing barbecues you should pay attention to their prices. The most inexpensive are products made entirely of metal, as well as collapsible. In the middle price category are placed braziers with wrought iron elements, a cast-iron cauldron, and a small stove. The highest prices are set for professional models, in which there is both a spit, and a large brazier, and a smokehouse, and a cooking stove. For personal use such barbecues are rarely chosen.

To choose the right brazier model, you should pay special attention to the area where it will be located. If the site is a lot of buildings and green spaces, then there may be difficulties with the placement of stationary models with a canopy. The optimal height of the roaster with a roof, like its other dimensions, primarily depends on the size of the plot and its layout. When installing the barbecue, you should consider what kind of wind rose on the ground. After all, this will allow the cooking to not interfere with the smoke to enjoy outdoor recreation. It will not be out of place to have a brazier in view of the location of utilities on the site in order to facilitate the cooking process.

If ready-made models of braziers with a roof do not attract for some reason, then you should think about creating a brazier with your own hands. It is worth starting with the drawings. You can create them yourself, or take a ready-made version on the Internet. Most often independently made metal and brick barbecues.

For the manufacture of metal barbecue with a roof will need the following materials and tools:

• roulette;
• hammer;
• fasteners.

When you have all the necessary materials and tools, and the construction of the barbecue with the roof is developed, you can proceed directly to its creation.

• The first thing the production begins with is the roaster. Its length is from 80 to 120 centimeters, width - from 25 to 30 centimeters, and height - from 20 to 22 centimeters. Metal for the brazier should be no thicker than 3 millimeters.Particular attention should be paid to the distance between skewers and coals, which should be within 12-15 centimeters. Most often, the workplace is made from the top shelf under the roaster and the bottom shelf under the wood.
• After the roofing iron is cut into plates according to size, they are welded to each other. The lower part of the brazier should be equipped with holes that serve for the flow of air. The final touch is the manufacture of metal roaster legs.

It is important that the size of the roof be larger than the size of a brazier. The extreme part of the roof should be 0.5–0.8 meters farther than the brazier. The height of the roof is chosen based on the growth of those who will use the barbecue and the desired amenities.The roof should be positioned so that it is convenient to cook on a roasting pan.

• After everything is assembled, you can coat the metal elements with a primer and then paint. Moreover, for dyeing is to prefer a special enamel, which has a heat resistance. And also it is possible to add a brazier with already ready shod elements.

Brick grill is made stationary. It should be borne in mind that under this brazier should allocate a large area. Drawings should also be taken even more responsibly in order to get a quality result. Of the advantages of this brazier, it is worth noting the versatility, since it can be supplied with a smokehouse, stove, cauldron and other additions.

To make such a complex structure will need the following materials:

• brick, preferably refractory;

• sand;
• cement;
• concrete mixer;
• ruberoid;

Gradually making a brick barbecue with a roof do it yourself as follows.

• The first action after selecting a site under the grill is to fill the foundation.The depth of the foundation is calculated based on how many rows of bricks there will be. It is worth remembering that the concrete screed for one row of bricks is 1.5 centimeters. As for the width and length of the foundation, they must be more than 10 cm in length of brickwork.
• When the dimensions of the foundation are determined, one should dig a pit and make a formwork. At the bottom of the pit, sand is 10–12 centimeters high, and then fittings are laid. After that, the trench needs to be filled with concrete. As soon as it hardens, the formwork is removed and the roofing material is applied.

If an arbor will be created around the brazier, then it is worth making a strip foundation under it.

• The first and second rows of bricks are placed directly on the ruberoid. Masonry is carried out using a solution of clay and sand. Between bricks, the seam should be 3-4 millimeters.
• Upon completion of the masonry work begins construction of the gazebo itself.
• Then the roofing is done. The supporting pillars for the roof are made of brick, timber or metal. It’s best to get the chimney out right onto the roof. For the roof it is better to choose a corrugated or metal roofing.
• The floor can be made of concrete or ceramic tiles.
• If desired, the grill can be added to the smokehouse. To do this, you need a heater (0.5–1 kW), grill and baking sheet.
