In the early 50’s, brick barbecue pits and grills were common in the backyards. Recently, they have come back in favor and plans to build a barbecue pit and some modern plans are being worked out to build pits from sheet metal or barrels. It is possible to build a barbecue on your own. A simple ‘Do It Yourself’ process could be:
1. You will have to first measure a rectangular plot of 40″x 56″ and dig a pit at least 8″ below ground and level the area.
2. Lay 2″ bed of gravel on the pit floor. Mix dry mortar with water and spread 2″ thick circular layer around the edge of the gravel.
3. While the mortar is wet, smooth the surface with a trowel. Lay a single roll of flat cinder blocks on the perimeter, leveling each block as you go.
4. As the mortar dries fill the hole with dirt, spread fresh mortar on top of the cinder blocks and smooth.
5. Spread little mortar on the brick and lay horizontally along the outer edge of the cinder block.
6. Tap them into place towards the perimeter. Scrap off any excess mortar. Keep the wall of the pit even.
7. Build the inner wall using the same method.
8. Add second layer of bricks, changing the pattern.
9. Insert metal braces for the grill in the mortar, build a final layer of bricks on top.
10. Let it dry overnight. Place the grill on top of the metal braces.
