My family's dream wasbrick grillA coincidence helped us. Together with my dad and my younger brother, we were making paving stones of concrete. We have a lot of raw material left, which it was a pity to throw away. So we added construction lime to the concrete and made the mortar. And when we had the material, the idea was enough -fireplace with grill
Brick from the demolition of an old house was perfect for construction. First, we designated a place forgrilland started work. After building a dozen or so layers of brick, we placed paving tiles on the mortar - with dimensions of 50x50 cm and a thickness of about 6 cm.
We have installed our "treasure": an old chrome-nickel drum from a washing machine with a hole cut out forhearth . As confirmed by experienced DIY enthusiasts - it is an unbreakable material.
The furnaceis built on both sides. The inner wallgrillwas made of pieces of cobblestones (recovery after building the pavement), the outer one - of the clover-type cobblestones we recently made. We used ordinary mortar for bonding, but the exterior tile glue came in handy.
Before erecting thechimney , we made a sheet metal reinforcement 4 mm thick and 30 cm high with an opening for the chimney. After closing the wreath over the hearth, we built a 60 cm high chimney. We decorated the building with field stones and recycled tiles. We used frost-resistant glue.
