Types of stoves for gazebos

There are many options for stoves that can be installed in summer houses. The construction of complex and large structures is better, of course, to order from specialists. Simple stoves can be made with your own hands. They can be stationary or portable, perform several functions and consist of two to three components.

Did you know? For the first time the word "barbacoa" (barbecue) is found in the history of the conquest of Peru by the Spanish conquistadors, which was described in 1553 in the book "Chronicles of Peru" by a native of Spain, a priest and historian Ciez de Leon.

Russian stove

Such a structure takes up a lot of space, so for its installation you need a spacious gazebo. It is intended for heating and cooking in special utensils. If the building for recreation is small, then it is worth considering the option of installing a mini-oven that mimics the Russian variety. It's about a barbecue or barbecue. They can even be done with a skewer for grilling.

Braziers

Small and simple design. It can be installed in an open or closed building. But you should take care of fire safety. Brazier can be made of various metals: steel, iron, mixtures of different types. Under it will require the construction of the foundation. The frying of meat, sausages and vegetables on the grill is done on wood or charcoal. Products are fried on skewers.

B-B-Q

A compact version of the stove, which is suitable for installation in any building of any size for rest and eating. It should be placed in the center of the gazebo. The area should be divided into 2 zones intended for the preparation of dishes and for their use.

This is one of the simplest options that you can do yourself. In addition, it is easy to operate, and the dishes on it are very tasty and aromatic. In appearance, a barbecue oven is similar to a barbecue oven, however, the cooking process in it is carried out not on a skewer, but on a wire rack.

Smokehouse

In the gazebo, you can install a small complex, which will include a barbecue and smokehouse. In this case, it will be possible to feast on grilled meat and dishes cooked in smoke. When installing a smokehouse, you need to equip a recreation area with a powerful exhaust hood. This design is usually made of brick and metal.

Project Design Rules

Of course, it is better to equip a barbecue at the same time as the construction of the gazebo. First of all, you need to draw up a project, indicating on it the location and size of all the elements. It is important to provide for even the smallest details, such as an easy-to-use fryer and countertop, the placement of kitchen utensils, the presence of water supply, etc.

You should also consider the location of the building. So, if you plan to put it near the trees, you need to pay attention to whether the branches will interfere with the chimney. They need to be removed before construction begins.

It is important that the stove is not built near the wall of the house. This will negatively affect his condition and duration of service. Moreover, it is unsafe. If the arbor in which the furnace is equipped is wooden, then it is worth taking care of the laying of heat-insulating materials.

Project example:

DIY construction steps

The easiest way to build a barbecue stove is to use a brick. You can take ordinary and chamotte. The latter type is best used for the construction of the heat-resistant core of the furnace, the interior of the cooking chamber and chimney.

In addition, you should arm yourself with such tools and materials:

• sand;
• gravel
• stakes;
• rope
• reinforcing cage;
• concrete mortar;
• boards;
• roofing material or other waterproofing material;
• wire;
• metal corners;
• clay-cement mortar (ready-made mixture for stoves or stove glue);
• tin sheets 2 mm thick;
• trowels for laying out the solution.

It is necessary to begin construction with laying the foundation.

Important! To make chamotte more durable, you can treat it with heat-resistant water-repellent impregnation and plaster it with waterproof plaster.

Foundation construction

The foundation for the gazebo with a barbecue should be made slab or tape. It is installed along the masonry contour. It is better to make 2 separate foundations for the construction and furnace. The second design should be at least 5 cm larger than the cooking device. For equipment of a monolithic base, clear and level the area. Its depth will depend on the mass of the furnace. Recommended parameters are 40–90 cm.

Next, you need to make markings with the help of pegs and a rope stretched between them. The next stage is the excavation of a trench and a depression under the base. A layer of gravel and a layer of sand are poured into it and compacted. Tamping is made by special devices with periodic moistening.

Next, you need to make and fix the formwork from the boards. At the bottom of the recess lay material with waterproofing properties. Then install the frame from the reinforcement, bandaging it with wire, and pour concrete. Check the evenness of the slab using the building level. Its full solidification will occur in a month. Then it is necessary to lay a waterproofing layer, for example, from roofing material.

Important! In the first week, the concrete slab should be moistened, otherwise it may crack.

Hearth and stand

When the base of the furnace is completely ready, it is necessary to start laying out the stand and the hearth. Walls should be erected in half a brick, pouring them with cement mortar. In each row it is worth doing a dressing. The openings can be made rectangular or arched. The first variety is reinforced with metal corners. Under the arched opening, a template support is installed. Strengthen it with wooden boards and cement. Brick on the arch is laid in half, in one layer.

The layout of the back wall is made of three bricks, the side - of two. They are laid with a spoon on the bed. The woodcutter needs to be laid out with a height of 10-11 bricks. Shelf under the firebox is made into brick in a way. A steel sheet is mounted on it. The next row is also put in a brick method around the entire perimeter of the rectangle. Brick walls should be laid carefully, measuring the even position of the masonry with a building level.

Firebox and cutting board

The furnace is also laid out in a half-brick method. Its optimal height is 10-12 rows. The inside is laid out with fireclay bricks. To the side of the firebox is a compartment for folding dishes. A tabletop is set above it. It can be made of MDF, boards, decorative stone or other materials.

Brazier

After the formation of the furnace and the compartment under the dishes should begin, the masonry frying space. In front of it is necessary to lay the protection of one row of blocks. Laying is carried out strictly according to the scheme. In this part, you need to monitor the correct placement of bricks and do not forget to bandage the layers of blocks. A barbecue grill can be purchased ready-made or made independently from steel bars. The optimum height of the roasting pan is 5 rows.

Vault

From about the 17th row, it is worth starting the formation of the arch. It is advisable to make a template out of cardboard in order to beautifully lay out the arch. You can also make a layout from the boards and put it under the blocks. The visor must be extended 5 cm forward. Up to 21 rows, it is necessary to overlap the arch of the frying chamber according to the scheme.

Chimney and visor

The peak must be laid out around the entire perimeter of the furnace. Corner dressing should be done, given the trimming of blocks on the markup. After the ceiling is completely blocked, proceed to the laying of the smoke channel. It must be narrowed to the planned size. Masonry is carried out according to the order. The end of the chimney should take place on the 27th row.

Alternatively, the chimney can be made of tin sheets. The smoke evacuation device is made in the form of a truncated pyramid with angles of about 60 °. A chimney is attached to the firebox by welding a steel corner.

Finishing work and decoration of the furnace

A self-made brick oven should look beautiful and neat. It is with such a design that it will be pleasant to work and relax nearby. The floor around the oven is best laid out with beautiful decorative tiles. As a rule, stone is used to decorate countertops and other horizontal surfaces.

Did you know? On the island of Lanzarote (Canaries), a restaurant called El Diablo is opened, where visitors are offered to try dishes prepared over the vent of an active volcano.

The marble finish looks very nice. When the stove is completely ready, it must be allowed to dry for 4-5 days, and then conduct a test firebox with a small consumption of firewood (2-3 kg). It is necessary to heat the stove with open windows and doors in the gazebo.

So, if the area and opportunities allow, then in the summer cottage you can build a gazebo with a stove for cooking on an open fire. Make it easy. It is enough to purchase the necessary materials, procure tools and use the above recommendations and masonry schemes.
