A do-it-yourself barbecue grill is a real men's outdoor kitchen, as well as an outdoor fireplace, which will be pleasant to spend time with friends on summer evenings. Therefore, it should look accordingly, because its third function is to decorate the local area or summer cottage.
The basis of an outdoor barbecue grill is a drum from a large washing machine, which is usually installed in laundries. First of all, it is necessary to separate the lower crosspiece and the shaft with the bearing from the drum. Then the surface is cleaned with a grinder and a special heat-resistant paint is applied in several layers.
The process of making an outdoor barbecue grill
A stainless steel drum is a key design element, but by no means the only one. Since it is voluminous enough, a concrete ring will be required to install it. To do this, we first produce a circle formwork of two sheets of laminated fiberboard.
Then we fill in the formwork with concrete mortar prepared on the basis of heat-resistant cement. After the concrete has completely hardened, we disassemble the formwork and roll the concrete ring to the place of installation of the barbecue grill. After mounting the base inside, you need to go a little deeper into the ground with a bayonet shovel, tamp the soil, and also make a “pillow” of crushed stone.
After such a thorough preparation, the drum from the washing machine is installed, a grill is placed on top of it and the barbecue grill can be used for its intended purpose! It looks stylish and very beautiful. The step-by-step process of its manufacture, see the video on the site.
