If you have long dreamed of creating a barbecue with your own hands, then here it is your happiness. I was lucky, on the last day of my friend's work in the bakery, 200-liter barrel from under honey, which I had to just, by the way, was finally empty. Now it's time to proceed to action!
1. Preparation
At first I cleared the insides of the barrel from honey and washed it out from the inside (not enough attractive spectacle for photographing). Then I lent the grinder and cut the hole.
With a barrel from foods, much less hassle. Imagine a barbecue from a barrel from fuel oil or gasoline. Fu!
2. Building stand
I needed to make a reason, and around there were only old metal pipes that served earlier posts for the fence, which I could not throw away on the garbage and a little plywood designed for the room in the basement.
I cut off the pipes of 6 backups of different lengths - 2 pieces long with a barrel, and 4 pieces for the legs. I wanted a barbecue to be portable, so the best was to install a barrel on the stand.
Two backups held a barrel in a horizontal position, and 4 legs were attached to the backups along the edges using bolts, missed through drilled holes.
To strengthen the legs, I put them in plywood pieces.
I installed a barrel from above, and she got up there proudly and high.
3. Fastening the covers and grille grill
I strengthened the brackets so that they hold the grill grill and the lid from falling inside, as well as a lower rack to keep coal and allow air to circulate.
Make sure the brackets and hinge are made of stainless steel.
If you acquire galvanized parts, then you must first burn them in order to immediately burn the pairs that will occur when you first use such parts in the grill.
4. Four from the inside
I spread inside the fire to burn the inner coating, paint or something else than the barrel was treated.
5. Latest strokes
The last strokes are the following design: handle (simple wooden stalk made of brass bench), ventilation openings and temperature pointer.
I still decided to paint the barrel of refractory paint. In addition, the barrel has acquired a little different color, paint also protects it from rust. It remains only to check the barrel in action.
