Proper BBQ: efficient and durable

For summer cottages and country houses BBQ has already become almost a mandatory element. Rest from labors in the open air, under the barbecue in good company - what could be better? But without the "right" barbecue good barbecue and other dishes on the coals to cook easy. So what should be the perfect BBQ? We deal with it together with the users FORUMHOUSE.

The market today offers a huge number of fixtures for outdoor picnic - from portable collapsible to solid forged barbecues and stationary barbecue facilities. Often, these products are solid money, but not the fact that at the same time they will please owners ease of use and durability. Good BBQ to fit your needs is not difficult to do on your own, convinced many forum users. The main thing to observe a few important rules.

So, the "right" BBQ must be ergonomic, that is comfortable and safe to maintain, to spend a minimum of fuel and do not require any "Mahaney" fanerku and other unnecessary manipulation.

The so-called "marching" collapsible braziers of thin steel - perhaps the worst-case scenario: they are flimsy and unstable, poorly kept hot. Above this barbecue have to constantly waving "a fan", fanning the coals - this barbecue charred bottom, and the top is burnt. We are accustomed, of course, possible, but by that time may burn himself BBQ: thin steel sheet is simply not withstand regular use. Therefore, if we had the occasion to use the "march" option coals to better prepare separately kindled a fire, and then fill them in BBQ.

Many truckers collapsible design attracted by the opportunity to remove the grill for safety at the end of the season. In this case, you need to choose a simple and reliable system assembly and disassembly, without loops or clips that are easily damaged.

Competent metal grill for giving, according FORUMHOUSE experienced users should have a wall thickness not less than three to five millimeters.

Svarnoy44 (User FORUMHOUSE):

- Everything perfect - simple. wall thickness - 4.3 mm length - 600 mm Width - 350 mm, the height - 150 mm, no drawers under ash. Turn over the top, over the entire length of the profile, 20 * 20, removable legs - Profile of 30 * 30. This - the base, which is easy to put a roof woodsheds, stands for the spit, side shelves.

The recesses for the skewers is better to make in the form of vertical slots for rotatably skewers 90 degrees, advises forumchanin Kuznecs. The distance between the skewers - 70 mm. Sam BBQ desirable paint heat resistant paint for better appearance and corrosion protection. But the holes in the side walls, which are often purchased at barbecues, many forum users considered meaningless and even Harmful: because of their meat is roasted evenly, and additional air inflow below will provoke the appearance flame. In the furnace the optimum depth without holes embers will smolder for a long time and even at the expense of air flow from the top. Alternatively, to accelerate coal ignition bottom ash pit barbecue sometimes provide closed by flaps. At the time of flap frying tightly closed - ready coal are not blown by the wind and burns evenly.

The height of the walls of the barbecue - the value that causes the most problems. Most users will converge in the opinion that an effective minimum, allowing you to cook good barbecue and save fuel - 13-14 centimeters. At the height of the wall at 18-20 cm need too much coal, or barbecue will be prepared "Dried".

- At the barbecue perfect or close to the height of the coal to the meat - 11-13 cm. That is, the net height of the furnace - 15 cm. To the bottom it is better to narrow, and up - to expand consumption of firewood or coal less, and hot enough for cooking.

User Aleks286 She made by his brazier height-adjustable bottom: original - 14 centimeters, but you can pick it up, reducing the furnace depth of 8 centimeters. This versatility allows you to successfully cook on the coals various products not only meat but also fish, vegetables, etc.

Aleks286(User FORUMHOUSE):

- Co bottom welded from two sides of the plate 2 mm, and handle them in a square 10 mm. In the lower position of the handle lying on the side of the brazier. Middle plates are welded hooks. If it is necessary to reduce the depth of the furnace - raising the bottom of the pen up and cling to the sidewall brazier these hooks.

Good BBQ - not just a metal box. The present owner is committed, that it is not only reliable, but also to the maximum comfortable and versatile. Validating Vkokorin long sought such an environment of finished products, but in the end made a BBQ transformer of its own design - with hinged grates, covers and shelves. The tests were on a solid "five"!

Advantages of the barbecue-transformer:
- Folding lattice. When they are above the barbecue - they are easy to cook: to put a cast-iron frying pan, pot, etc... The tilted grating able to become comfortable tables on the sides of the barbecue.
- Removable cast iron grill for barbecue.
- Removable covers have several appointments. Above - that the water is not gaining in the brazier, because there are no holes, and she has nowhere to drain. Bottom - as a shelf. And if you put them on the grille Tilt - will receive two tables.

Vkokorin(User FORUMHOUSE):

- Loops for grids - segments of pipes with a diameter slightly larger than the valves. They are welded to the first finished lattice, then they threaded rebar cut and welded to a brazier. Depth enough barbecue for cooking in a cauldron set at the top of the grille.

Many owners, however, believe that the metal grill of even the most successful design is still inferior to the reliability, durability and ease of stationary units. Portable barbecues, of course, essential for outings, but the metal in any case tend to rust, lose form, which affects its useful qualities. Another thing - a thorough brick building.

Brick or stone oven grill on the site is ideal for cooking a variety of dishes, and in addition, is, in fact, a small architectural form, which can perfectly decorate the landscape. But, of course, and the manufacturing costs of such a major focus will be more significant.

But the simple design of the BBQ fireclay bricks to build simple and inexpensive, and it will last long and will be much more economical to spend the metal fuel. You do not even have to lay bricks on a solution.

Such a BBQ when used carefully will last fifteen years, says forumchanin JimDaddy .

JimDaddy(User FORUMHOUSE):

- Bottom - brick flat. The walls of the first row - brick flat, second row - a brick on an edge. Gets the height of 18 cm, which is close to the ideal. Gradually the side of the brick, staring into the fire, will crumble, such bricks can be moved to the bottom and from the bottom of the whole - on the wall. Such a partition will be no more frequently than every three years. Barbecue cover sheet iron, sheet pressed brick.

Validating queser He invented and implemented the construction of a collapsible mobile "Lego-barbecue" made of bricks. As the author says, his unit is "scaled" in size, depending on the company's appetite, space, budget, and so on. E., It is easy to assemble and disassemble, saves firewood.

As can be seen from the diagram, the design is simple, as all ingenious. At the same time, according to its creator, "designer" can easily fit in the trunk of a car, does not require careful handling (quietly survive ten winters in the open air), any element easily damaged replaced. And if you build a "Lego-brazier" thermal capacitance lid, cooking possibilities are comparable with the Russian stove or tandyr.

If we add the skilful hands, materials and tools, and even a little imagination - your machine will be a real decoration of the site. Here is a work of art built forumchanin VZenev. His dragon will not give up in functionality: it immediately and BBQ, grill and smokehouse.
