Barbecue smokehouse with his own hands made of metal
The initial stage
It is easy to cook various meat delicacies with your own hands, when there is appropriate equipment. It is sometimes impractical to have a separate smokehouse and barbecue. Consider options for modern miracle grill 2-in-1 made of metal.
First of all it is necessary to make drawings, in which all sizes will be specified. The picture shows additional accessories. To facilitate the assembly, we recommend that you specify all the components in the diagram, with their exact number and size. So never forget or miss anything.
Size range
It all depends on individual preferences, you can only give a few recommendations:
- If the barbecue-smokehouse will travel with you to nature, then it is better to consider a collapsible design, which will have a compact size.
- It also affects, which family by number of people. If you cook a lot, so the equipment needs to be made large.
- For those who are undecided, we suggest making a barbecue, what sizes do you want, but in addition let it be collapsible.
When the image of the future product was outlined, you can proceed to the next step.
Working with metal
For a quality barbecue, who will travel, you need to pick up metal sheets no thicker 2 mm Otherwise the design will be heavy and heavy. For all other cases, you can choose a thicker metal.
Separately it is necessary to tell about a box for a brazier. It comes in three types:
- Prepare a strip of metal for this type, the width of which will be close 20 cm. Its length must be equal to the sum of all sides of the product. The strip should be bent in three places at right angles. We make a weld at one point.
- Sometimes it is quite problematic to find long sheets of metal, so we suggest going the other way. Separately cut the four sides of the future product and weld them. It turns out quickly and accurately.
- If you want to make a barbecue with your own hands, but there is no welding machine, then there is a way out of this situation. To do this, cut the walls of the grill, we make each of them with an allowance of about 2 div. Bend it along its entire length at right angles. We do on the bend 2 holes and tighten the bolts.
As for the bottom, then there are two options:
- welding;
- bolted connection.
In the portable version, all components are fastened with bolts
We advise you to prefer the second option. Because in a deaf box of coal will be difficult to ignite, and they will go out.
Addition
The smokehouse cannot just lie on the ground. Accordingly, the design requires legs. If you are going to carry equipment with you, then they must be removable, therefore it is not recommended to weld them. You can use ordinary bolts.
If you plan to make a roof, then it is better to attach it to the smokehouse, which will stand in your garden. In this case, you can weld all the parts together. You don't know, what else to add to the design? We will tell you:
- different handles;
- funnel;
- table top;
- additional shelves;
- covers.

Reincarnation
If you get more barbecue, than a smokehouse, do not worry. It is enough to take a few steps to reincarnation:
- If the grill without any accessories, then you need to prepare the lid, which should close the equipment tightly.
- It is worth taking care of the metal lattice, on which it will be possible to spread products for preparation. It should be thick, easy to climb and insert inside.
- Think about the design of the pallet. You must have it. All the fat will flow on it.

Quick doesn't mean bad
The brazier-smokehouse is made by own hands long enough. The main time is spent on the development of drawings and preparation of all parts. You can do everything quickly and easily. You will need an iron barrel with a lid. It is installed on the grill. Be sure to nail it to the pallets only on the back and two sides not the front. The bottom is laid with sawdust and charcoal. Now you can cook meat delicacies, spending a few minutes to make the equipment.
Once it was about improvised materials, then consider another interesting way.
Brazier from metal gas cylinders
If you accidentally overwhelmed two such cylinders, then do not rush to throw them away. We will find a good application for them in everyday life and make a first-class barbecue with their own hands. Everything you need, it:
- the cylinders themselves;
- Bulgarian;
- welding machine;
- thermometer;
- a small piece of pipe with a diameter of at least 100 mm;
- various forged handles.
Everything else is a matter of technology. The main thing, follow safety rules, to avoid injury. It is necessary to make blanks from gas cylinders, but before that they need to be properly prepared for the procedure. This is done as follows:
- Unscrew the valve;
- Remove the pin;
- In the resulting hole you need to insert the tube and pour water through it into the cylinder. And after that you can prepare the details;
- We make a vessel from all cylinders, I go to the trough, using a Bulgarian;
- After that, the water can be poured;
- A window must be made in each of the cylinders, to pass smoke from one vessel to another;
- Now you need to connect them to each other. One must be below his neighbor. Welds them this way, that one cylinder entered into another with overflow on edges;
- The whole structure must be installed on legs. They are also welded to the body of the grill;
- In part, where food will be prepared, you need to attach the pipe to the end. To do this, cut a hole and weld two parts;
- The next step will be to install the covers. You will need loops for this. Drill holes and tighten with screws. That the cover did not fall back, we propose to install traffic limiters. We saw in half two handles and welded to a back wall of the case. This should be done with two cylinders;
- You need to install one handle on each part;
Council! It is better to do all the seams on the inside. They provided a barbecue, made with his own hands, will get a more beautiful appearance. The technical characteristics will not be affected.
In principle, the main work is completed. It remains to think of a few additions for good work:
- In part, where the meat will be smoked, the thermometer should be taken out. It will help control the temperature.
- Extend the side pipe. We use the usual corrugated cover.
- The furnace must have an opening for air access.
It remains to put the grill in order with his own hands. Apply it with heat-resistant paint, dry and you can start cooking delicious delicacies.
