If you often cook kebabs in the yard, then you, first of all, need to buy a grill or put an improvised version of the stones. Purchased iron grill looks trite, and if it has nowhere to put after the end of the meal, the iron structure will quickly rust and become unusable. Especially since you need to pay a considerable amount on its purchase. Today we will learn how to make a brazier out of stone for giving with our own hands, which will not only fulfill its main function, but also decorate your garden or garden.
Design features
We will build a solid construction, and not a simple semblance of a well in form, into which combustible materials will be loaded. We need to create something beautiful, durable and easy to use, therefore, before turning the idea into reality, you need to find someone who will help you in this difficult task.
You can also make your own pergola or gazebo, such as polycarbonate.
It is also worth choosing a site on which the brazier will be built, and think about how much materials are needed for its construction. Before creating a model on a sheet, you need to consider all the pros and cons of such a structure. 
Pros:
- strength and durability;
- decorative;
- resistance to frost and moisture.
- big expenses of time and resources;
- strength depends on how well drawn the drawings are;
- materials require processing, and the design itself cannot be disassembled.
Design options
Before you start building a stone barbecue yourself, you need to prepare drawings and assess your needs and capabilities.
If you want the simplest design, which will only have a chafing dish and a smoke pipe, then you only need to draw an option that has a good foundation and sufficient width so that you can place a large number of skewers or lay the net. 
It is also worth thinking about how high the pipe should be, so that the “waste” does not enter the place where you will rest. In general, the creation of such a construction on paper does not require special skills, it is enough to follow the rule of symmetry and make the top smaller than the bottom. At the same time be sure to draw the foundation.
If you want to create something really big and multifunctional, then you have to "sweat." Yes, you can create a brazier, which will include a warehouse for firewood and coal, a smokehouse, a cutting table, and even a special heating element that heats the water. However, in this case, you should understand that the costs will be serious, but you alone will not have enough stone. You will need brick, iron, wooden boards or round timber, and more.
To make it easier to choose the design, you can contact a specialist who is engaged in the design of premises or various objects. So you just get the right drawings, which you can build a perfect grill.
Did you know? Pulkogi - This is a Korean alternative to kebab or grill. This dish is a marinated tenderloin, which is prepared both on an open fire and in a frying pan. During cooking, mushrooms, onions and leafy vegetables are fried along with the meat.
Choice for a place
Choosing a place is not as easy as it may seem. Near our building there should be nothing that can catch fire.. That is, no flower beds with plastic statues, trees, shrubs or landfills.
You can decorate your garden plot by making gabions, even as a fence, a fence, or beautifully decorate a tree stump.
It is also worth considering where the smoke from the barbecue will go. If you build it in such a way that all the burning will go to your windows or the windows of your neighbors, then such a construction will provide you with more problems than good.
Note that the distance from the rest area should be optimal: not too close, but not very far so that you can control the process, but not be a meter away from the hot coals. In case the site is small, you need to build a brazier of the appropriate size.
Important! Brazier can not be built in a draft or in a windy place.
Dimensions and drawings
To compile the right drawings, we need average length, width and height of the structure to create our own version based on them.
Height. The roaster should be located at a height of 0.8-1 m, while it should be convenient for you to carry out manipulations with it. That is, we adjust the height of the location of the roaster to your height so that it is at the level of your elbows.
Length. It depends on how many people you will invite to the feast and, accordingly, how many skewers can be placed in it. On average, the length of the roaster should be about 50 cm. It does not make sense to make it longer, unless you want to fry the boar whole or put a kettle with yushka next to the skewers.
Width.The building should not be large width, as we will place the skewers in length, respectively, 20-25 cm will be enough with interest.
Now we will discuss the general parameters of the entire construction. The height of the brazier with the foundation and the pipe must be at least 2 meters, otherwise all the smoke will fall directly into the resting place. Also, do not make the grill too high, otherwise the costs will be unjustified. 
The height of the foundation in which you can build a warehouse for logs should be no more than 40 cm. Length - about 80 cm. The total width of the whole structure (not only the brazier) should be about 80 cm. 
Important! Do not make too large a cavity for firewood, otherwise the design will be unstable.Thus, we have a square construction with a good base and convenient storage for logs.
Selection of materials
Let's start with the most important - stone. It is necessary to estimate the size of the structure and, if possible, do not use stones that are easily crumbled or washed away with water (limestone). It is also better to put a heavier and more durable stone into the base, and for the pipe you can use a lighter one or replace it with a brick.
To add originality to the site, make rockeries, a dry stream, a flower bed made of stones or wheel tires, a rose garden, decorative fencing for plastic beds, or decorate the garden with your own handicrafts.
Top options:
- granite;
- dolomite;
- quartzite;
- slate;
- schungite.
In addition to stones, we also need a solution that must withstand high temperatures. You can use both cement mortar and special mixtures that are resistant to temperature and moisture. It all depends on your preferences and finances.
Do not forget about the iron rods that will serve as the basis for the roaster, and also, if you wish, they can cover it from above if you want to create a semblance of a grill.
Did you know? In the 70-80s of the last century, electric barbecues were popular. The heat emanated from the heated spirals, and the skewers rotated automatically, similar to how the pan rotates in the microwave.
Required Tools
Brazier made of stone with his own hands is built using a sufficiently large number of tools, namely:
- level;
- hammer;
- bucket and car;
- measuring tape;
- sledgehammer;
- chisel;
- saw;
- tank for mixing the solution;
- Bulgarian;
- trowel;
- rule of
Construction of the brazier, step by step instructions
To create any stone braziers with your own hands you need to follow a certain order, otherwise the construction will either stand badly because of the wrong foundation, or it will be too fragile and will collapse at the first use. We will analyze in stages the entire process of construction.
Place preparation. We start with the fact that we remove from the site all the garbage, leaves, branches and everything that will disturb us. Remember that the surface should be flat, so immediately after cleaning we put a level and check.
At the cottage, you may also need a cellar with ventilation, a greenhouse or greenhouse, a garden branch chopper, a mini-tractor, a mower, a potato planter, and an excavator for potatoes that can be made with your own hands.
The initial stage of construction of the structure. In order to build a simple brazier out of stone, we need to outline an even circle around which the stone will be laid. For this perfect any iron bars, which can be purchased in the department for a picnic.
Also, this grill will cover our roaster, performing the grid function for the grill. If you want to build a rectangular brazier, then, accordingly, the lattice must be taken in the same shape.
Laying stones. We put our lattice on the ground and lay stones around it, leaving a gap of 1-2 cm between them. This is necessary so that there is good traction and the fuel can flare up faster. The height of the brazier can be varied, but it is better to lay out 4-5 rows so that the openings between the stones do not coincide. 
Important! Use a stone with a thickness of 5-6 inches, similar in shape to the stone blocks.After laying the stones, the height of the brazier should be approximately 50-60 cm.
Bottom preparation. After our design is formed, we remove the round grid and take on the arrangement of the bottom of the barbecue. We place 3 bricks on the bottom so that they converge in the center, forming a semblance of a three-pointed star. We fill the space between the bricks with small rubble and we tamp.
Preparation and laying of rods. We will need 3 iron rods about 50-60 cm long, depending on the diameter of the mesh around which we laid the masonry. Further, on the rods from both sides, we mark 13 cm each and fold them in such a way so that we get a kind of staples from the stapler.
After preparing all the rods, they need to be connected with clips, which are used for irrigation hoses. It is worth considering that the clips should be stainless steel. We connect the rods so that they resemble an equilateral triangle with the legs hanging down.
Installation of rods and grates. We take 2 more clips and fasten our round lattice to the legs with them so that we get a semblance of a “three-sided” chair. Next, put this design on the stones, which we placed on the bottom of the barbecue. At this construction is completed. 
The firewood will be kindled on the installed grid, and the ashes will wake up under it. After the end, the grid with a tripod is removed, and the ashes can be easily removed.
Skewers or netting are located on the top row of stones, which makes it possible to roast meat or fish, even at the moment when the fire has not yet been burned. This concludes the discussion of the construction of a mangal stone. Such a design should be sufficiently stable, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of cleaning. Before construction, carefully consider all aspects to the smallest detail, so that your brazier is not only beautiful, but also useful. Do not be afraid to experiment, and you will succeed.
