To a piping hot, with a twinkle: how to make their own hands tandoor

Tandoor from the participant FORUMHOUSE - stages of construction and use of expertise. We build and prepare

Invariable attribute of country life is a preparation of a shish kebab and other meat dishes. Of course, for this action, you can do an iron grill, and if not - pit with bricks under the skewers. But the real lovers of such abhorrent minimalism, and they acquire more sophisticated and versatile designs. For example, the participant portal FORUMHOUSE Mcgoga I dreamed of a tandoor, and dreams of its successfully implemented. And the result is divided with all like-minded people.

Dreams Come True

Originally tandoor it was common in Asian countries, which are used for heating and cooking - mostly for baking dough products directly on the interior walls. In our country they are popular among the lovers of country rest as universal outdoor furnaces.

It is believed that the meat is cooked in tandyr tastier than grill or barbecue.

In addition, on skewers or bars do not have to be on duty.

Firstly, the taste is really different from the simple mangalnye cooking. And secondly - no need to constantly stand and turn the skewers and then inflate it, then pour the coals - hung up and went to talk to the guests.

These Are others whether the reasons were decisive, but Mcgoga I wanted it tandoor and proceeded to translate desires.

Whole year dreaming, planning and preparing for the fact that in the spring make yourself tandoor. I read all about them on this forum and others, and decided - to do everything on his own.

Time theory was sufficient, and the approach to the serious business: a solid foundation, the relevant materials, decorative and not just functional form. Incarnation - with their own hands.

Foundation - monolithic slab reinforced with metal profile. Marking on a shoestring on pegs, removal of topsoil, compaction of the corners and the center of the pile profile, filling the base of a large gravel. To plate protrudes above the ground - around the perimeter formwork and grouting.

It was originally planned to put the base cement tiles own makingBut something "did not go", and the process has been somewhat simplified. Another layer tinting solution centimeter in thickness, and cutting to form individual tiles.

masonry - although the traditional tandoor solid, clay, you can use a brick. Mcgoga He stopped at fireclay varieties SB-8. As masonry mortar - special furnace mixture, calculated on heating above one thousand degrees. furnace shape selected pitcher - in the round "leg", she is more difficult to manufacture, but it looks more interesting than a square or cylinder. To avoid mistakes when masonry podpilenny to the desired brick shape previously laid out dry running and numbered. For hardening tandyra the top and bottom of the grooves are cut bricks and each vertical row of metal reinforced tape. First, after the "legs" laid out a series of sloping outwards, it is ash-pit.

The two following this expansion retain, and were already trailing to slant inward, forming a constricted neck. Although the diamond blade cutting grog without any problems, painstaking work has been done. And the very sharp, and further "try on" deprived of enough time and effort.

Furthermore, in the process of laying Mcgoga also I cared about the beauty of the joints, since it is not planned to coat the tandoor. Ten days were allowed to dry, and then - to bring in the proper form, and the first launch.

Using - first firing showed excellent traction and performance design, a slight amount of fine cracks at the seams do not affect the integrity. The first cooked meal (kupaty) turned out not even a very lumpy, but it was decided to improve the oven, install a thermometer to control heating. With the goal coped bimetallic mechanism mounted in the body of the tandoor.

Stem length - 100 mm, the diameter of the dial like too 100 mm, selected from stainless steel, the range from 0 to 450⁰ C. The thermometer has a mounting external thread 1/2 - I bought the sanitary product in a conventional clutch to 1/2 with internal thread and a length of about 3 cm. I mounted it in bricks, with mortar. To close the opening for the period kindling tandoor, I bought a half-inch plug into the same store plumbing.

The next step was the production of "adapt" to the vertical mounting skewers - rim with a crosspiece. As time went trimmed cover shaped throat plate DSP.

Tightness - at the expense of non-combustible sealant laid on the rim. The second "pancake", a barbecue, we got a juicy, delicious, no burned edges, but "someone" was to dry - a little overdone. But following a party has turned him almost perfect.

With regard to temperature, all within the expected:

• Rapid heating to 420⁰ C.

• Slow cooling to 200⁰ With half an hour (this is particularly important since in the plans - a two-hour roasting a pig, which is quite feasible, if unopened).

According to the results of cooking and decided to leave the tandoor without insulation and finish, as unnecessary - the temperature holds, looks quite decorative.

To discuss the network with other owners tandyrs, establish rapid communication on the subject of cooking recipes, features and subtleties of the furnace structures.

For example, a user with the nickname Hafis He uses his tandoor, mainly for baking cakes and samosas, which he, in fact, was originally intended.

When I started cooking samsa, he scored on all experiments with meat. Realized at that moment that the pastry samosas - it's aerobatics cooking in the tandoor.

Alex 0576 I did not bother with curved lines - his tandoor in the form of a cylinder. But in the course of use revealed some problems:

• Without waterproofing layer bottom row absorbs moisture from the foundation, and in the off-season tandyr dampen even under a protective cover.
• Refractory furnace hygroscopic solution and washed out of the clutches during precipitation, so need lining.
• The cover of the DSP - thin, at a constant heating quickly broke down.

To avoid washout solution Mcgoga decided to treat the seams resistant to the external environment with sealant, painfully not want to close the hard-derived clear lines. Those who are inclined to finish with warming, another member of the portal, Andrew Pavlovets"The dog ate" not only in tandoor, but also on pompeykah, recommends the following "pie":

• Wire harness.
• Basalt heat insulation material.
• Grid.
• The finish plaster (cladding).

According to this "recipe" Alex 0576 I insulate your tandoor.

One of the most important parameters of the tandoor - leaks, thanks to which the oven as long as the temperature supports typed.

Therefore, the cover must be not simply draped over the neck comes to hand plate and special designed for the operating conditions and completely covers the outflow of heat. Optimal - "sandwich" of the flame resistant insulating material and the same DSP as a basis. And in order to avoid direct contact with the flame and insulation products, you can use a food foil. Mcgoga several times successfully used a temporary barracks of bare boards, but in a totally wonderful time, cover virtually exploded. By a lucky chance the pieces do not harm others, though scattered all over the yard.

So that safety must come first, and to the manufacture of the lid should be approached no less responsible than to the furnace itself.

In NikO74 a tandoor fitted cast iron brake drums on heavy-lined with brick. Samsa and cakes in it, of course, do not cook, but for the meat - quite workable option. Interestingly metal cover with longitudinal slots - they are intended for fixing the skewers in the right position and adjust so that the degree of roasting.

Skewer do large pieces, preparing 15-17 minutes, 1.8 kg chicken - 40 minutes. Recently bought a pot with a lid on the 4.5-liter, I want to try to make a roast. Now almost I do not use barbecue, with tandyr safer, easier and tastier.

Subject Mcgoga and Orfo74 I get inspired tandyr, and now he regularly indulges his household.
