How to Make a Built-In Grill
Making a built-in grill is a great idea for your outdoor cooking activities. If you use bricks for your grill then you won't have to worry about rust. Another benefit of a built in brick grill is that it is easy to clean after use.
Things you will need:
- Four-by-four boards
- Nails
- Hammer
- Shovel
- Rake
- Rebar
- Level
- Square
- Galvanized bolts
- Concrete mix
- Mortar
- Trowel
- Grill racks
- Choose a spot in your yard for your grill. Level an area where you plan to build your outdoor grill. Dig a four-by-four-foot square. Be sure to remove the grass, but leave the bare soil intact. Next, nail the boards together to form a square frame.
- Mix the concrete. Pour the mixture into the frame you built with the boards and put three pieces of rebar into the concrete. Position the rebar across the entire width of the square and make sure that they are evenly spaced. Fill the square with at least 4-inches of concrete.
- Mix the mortar for the bricks. Begin positioning the bricks on the foundation you poured earlier. Make sure to apply the bricks in a square formation. Use the mortar to fill in between each brick as you work. Next, lay the second row on the first set of bricks. Stagger them so that the middle of each brick you lay is where the bottom two meet.
- Continue adding bricks. Do this until the sides of the grill reaches a measurement of 40-inches. Let the mortar set for at least a week so that it can cure properly.
