If you approach the idea of creating a barbecue creatively, you can get a refined element of scenery that will transform your cottage. There is even a brazier in the form of a locomotive.
Making a device with your own hands, using the tools at hand is easy. Often, craftsmen use a pipe or gas cylinder.
This article will describe how to make a brazier from a cylinder. Another design is also applicable. Production of braziers from metal in the form of a steam locomotive is widely used.
What are braziers there?
With the help of the device it is possible to cook dishes on charcoal This method has been used by people for a long time.
All braziers are divided into three types:
- Portable. Such models can take with you on trips. They differ in small weight.
- Portable Devices inherent bulkiness. They are moved for short distances, for example within a suburban area.
- Stationary. These furnaces are mounted on a foundation. They are quite heavy.
What pay attention in the manufacture of mangal?
In the manufacture of the device should pay attention to:
- the material was resistant to heat;
- the device is well kept warm;
- the size of the barbecue answered your requests.
What material is used?
Material for the manufacture of furnaces useddifferent. The basis of stationary devices is often a stone or brick. Braziers are also made of metal. Basically, this design have portable and portable views.
Masters invented a variety of types of braziers, the assembly of which used unusual materials at hand. Widespread devices, collected from gas cylinders.
It is not known who first came up with suchdesign, but the idea was justified. It should be noted that the device has a high level of functionality. The product has rather thick walls, which makes it durable. In addition, if there is a fantasy, a brazier can be an excellent decoration for a country house.
What tools are needed?
You should prepare:
- the Bulgarian;
- welding machine;
- pipes for legs;
- drill;
- chimney pipe;
- rivets;
- loops.
To make a grill with your own hands, drawings are required.
Precautionary measures
Before manufacturing it is advised to carefully check the gas cylinder. Do not use a container covered with rust.
Be careful when cutting the surface of the cylinder.The appearance of sparks is unacceptable, as this may lead to an explosion from the accumulation of residual gas. Before cutting the container, release the remaining substance. To this end, it is advisable to unscrew the valve using a special key and put the cylinder upside down. To control the gas output, use soap suds.
How to unscrew the cylinder valve?
When there is no gas in the cylinder, you canstart cutting it. First, the valve is removed. Its location when cutting is constantly watered. In the formed hole at the very top of the tank water is poured from a hose. Then it merges. Drain should be done away from the premises, as the methane contained in the cylinders has a pungent odor. It can be felt for several days.
Stages of manufacture
The manufacture of such a device as a brazier from a cylinder includes a number of steps:
- Распил. Баллон разрезается на две части.This is done along the weld seam. Side walls are advised not to cut. They are suitable as fire dampers and will keep the temperature. When cutting, do not damage the rings located on the sides. They will serve as a support for the cover.
- Making legs.The indicator of their height is chosen at its discretion. You can use the legs of the old sewing machine, as well as apply the pipe. For convenience, the legs are advised to equip with wheels. Barbecue on wheels will be easy to move. Four holes are drilled to fasten the pipes to the bottom of the device. Bolts are inserted into them so that the thread is located on the outside. Bolts can be tightened with nuts or welded. Nuts are welded to the top of the pipes and screwed to the brazier.
- Cover installation.For convenience, the process is recommended to fix the grill on the ground. The cover to the fixture is mounted by means of hinges, which are fixed by locks. You can mount the cover removable design. At the same time canopies should be directed in one direction. Loops are welded on a mandatory basis. After all, under the influence of high temperature riveting can fly. Bolts can be used to fasten the handle on the grill cover. The material for the handle should be heat resistant. In addition, you can build a limiter. It is made from a chain and a corner. A vent pipe is mounted in the vent hole.
- Процесс сборки.In order that the device is not subjected to deformation under the influence of high temperature, some masters recommend using a corner as an additional element. It is welded to the edges of the device, located in the inner part. This helps to strengthen the perimeter and make the device more rigid. In addition, the part can act as a stand for skewers and grates. So that the ash does not have to rake hands, holes are made at the bottom of the device. If there are no slots for skewers, then they are cut by the grinder. To ensure high functionality of the device, its interior is advised to be divided into two zones. In one of them mounts for the grill are mounted, and in the other - skewer connectors. Installation of fixers is recommended at several levels. You can adjust the position of the lattice over the coals.
- Color surface. This step is optional. It all depends on the taste of the manufacturer.
Mangal smokehouse
Отличительным признаком коптильни является tightness. The adaptation is done in exactly the same manner as described above. But this design contains a firebox. For the manufacture of this part should cut down half the bottom. This will be its location. The firebox itself is made from iron sheet or any suitable material.
Brazier smokehouse on the basis of two gas cylinders of different sizes
Some craftsmen produce furnace from cylinders.small size. The finished design is welded to the brazier. An important element of the device is the chimney. Finished hood can be bought in the store, but you can do it yourself.
For those who like to refine the structure and are not afraid of difficulties, it is advised to supplement the device with a motor that will rotate the spit.
The process of smoking can begin after the grill is hot. If the cylinder is saturated with the smell of gas, then the device will have to be heated many times until methane evaporates.
Brazier locomotive
Configuration, which is called"Steam locomotive" includes four functions simultaneously. The device acts as a grill, barbecue, smokehouse and barbecue. It is made of several gas cylinders or metal pipes. Each component has its own purpose.
In appearance, the grill really looks like a steam locomotive. Especially if the master applied fantasy in its manufacture. For example, the basis of the wheels can be parts of the cylinder or forged metal.
As an addition to the design servessliding table, grilles and many details that have both a functional and a decorative role. One locomotive can simultaneously grill skewers, stew a vegetable dish on the grill and expose smoked meat products.
Brazier locomotive factory made can be purchased in stores. With their own hands, they are made of gas cylinders.
Such devices have a high level of efficiency.This is ensured by a closable lid and material. If there is little coal in the device, then a well-warmed base of the bottle will keep the heat for cooking a long time.
Manufacturing
Many are interested in how to make a brazier in the formsteam locomotive with his own hands. It is advised to consider a finished product of this type. Also, it would not be superfluous to pay attention to the visual aspect of these locomotives, which are the prototype of complex devices.
Materials and Tools
To make a brazier-steam locomotive, you need a metallic material.
To complete the hull, frame, wheels, tubes, and various elements of an auxiliary nature, you will need:
- pipes from steel of different diameter;
- tank, barrel or gas cylinder;
- sheet metal;
- profiled tube;
- steel rods;
- fittings.
For the manufacture of the device at home you need to prepare:
- the Bulgarian;
- file;
- apparatus for welding;
- forging snail;
- drill;
- sledge hammer;
- a hammer.
Frame making
First of all, you should decide whatthe size of the brazier-steam locomotive you require, as well as make its basis. To create a strong frame that fits perfectly into the idea, you can use a shaped tube with a cross-section in the shape of a square. Also use round pipes, fittings, corners, etc.
Количество деталей, их размеры определяются при drawing up a drawing. It is necessary to designate the places of fasteners for wheels, frames for mounting the body and auxiliary parts. Cross rods act as connecting elements and help strengthen the grill.
Making the case
The manufacture of the case involvesexperimenting with the design. Standard modification assumes the presence of a horizontal grill and a vertical chamber used for smoking. Some models include an open-type grill or an adjacent firebox.
For the manufacture of a horizontal base will need:
- large diameter pipe;
- used gas cylinder;
- tank;
- the can.
The material is cut to the required dimensions.Barbecue need to cut off the top of the pipe. The cut is welded to the hinges and is installed as a cover. To protect the skin of the hands from burns, a handle with a wooden nozzle is welded to the cover.
Вторую часть корпуса составляет боковая камера rectangular shape. It connects to the main tank through the channel. The camera is made of sheet steel. Sheets are welded in such a way as to make a box. To create a frame used corners. An additional door is carved into the side.
Both parts of the body and frame are welded together. On the sides of the frame is closed with sheet metal.
Making wheels and decorating
Wheels should be prepared in advance and welded withframe before mounting the base. For the manufacture of brazier locomotive you need four pairs of wheels. For greater beauty, you can install different diameter wheels. Their foundation can be a pipe. The rear wheels have a larger diameter than the front ones. Rings are cut grinder. They should be the same and wide. So brazier on wheels will be stable.
To decorate the inside of the wheels, applysteel rods, iron bands, rivets and curls. The last decorative elements can be made on the machine for cold forging. A variety of patterns adorn the sides of the grill.
Do not forget to make the grille, pistons and other accessories to give the product originality.
Manufacturing accessories
Constructing a brazier-locomotive, you should consider how the auxiliary elements will look, which will facilitate the use of the device.
You will need:
- shelves;
- hooks;
- exhaust hood;
- canopy
Small hooks can be welded toside of the barbecue or to the frame on top. They will serve as hangers for oven accessories: poker, shovels, tongs, etc. Make them easy. The basis of the devices is ordinary wire or a large nail.
Also for storage of dishes mounted shelves. As a canopy, use a metal barrel cut.
Another significant detail - the hood.In some cases, it acts as a decoration, but overwhelmingly serves as a smoke outlet. The pipe is mounted in front of the horizontal structure, or output is made near the vertical chamber. The plate is welded to the top in the form of a cone. It prevents the penetration of precipitation into the brazier.
Поверхность изделия зачищается, обезжиривается и covered with refractory paint. It can protect the metal from rusting and burnout. Color of braziers is advised to carry out heat-resistant paint. After all, the heating temperature of the device can rise to 700 ºС.
Conclusion
With certain skills, manufacturingbrazier do it yourself is not so difficult. The self-made device will not only save money, but also become your pride and exquisite decoration of the courtyard of a country house.
