The presence of a summer cottage simply obliges to have on German place and facilities for a "delicious" holiday. One of the most sought after of these is the brazier and barbecue brazier, or both, combined in one setting. It is possible, of course, if there is an opportunity and the area allows, to arrange a whole setks dlI rest with a stove and a gazebo. But unfortunately, not everyone can afford it, and therefore they resort to more affordable methods of making devices useful for relaxing in the country. One of them — it's barbecue, done from a metal barrel. It is quite possible to make a barbecue from a barrel with your own hands.
Do-it-yourself barbecue from a barrel
This design can be of two types: open, without a lid, or with a lid-door.
The first of them, due to its design, allows you to cook not only shish kebab and barbecue, but can also have a grill function if you attach additional racks for the skewer to it.
To know how to build this work of engineering, and what is needed for this, you need to understand this in detail.

Materials and tools
Before you take on the manufacture of this useful summer cottage accessory, make sure you have all the tools you need for the job, which include:
- welding machine;
- grinder (Bulgarian);
- cutting disc for metal;
- grinding disc;
- electric drill;
- electric jigsaw working on metal;
- spanners, drill and screwdrivers;
- roulette.
Besides, you need to prepare the main and auxiliary materials from which the brazier will be made:
- metallic barrel of any size. Mainly choose capacity at 200 l, but it will depend on what size grill you want to have on the site;
- fixing bolts for connecting parts;
- metal corner for framing edges cut drum, with shelves 20×20 mm;
- pipe Ø 20 mm or square 20×20 - they are needed for the manufacture of legs and supporting brackets of the barrel;
- if will be producednt with crwith a hatch, you will need window hinges and a handle to lift the lid;
- two metal gratings;
- for convenience in moving the barbecue, can be attached to the legs wheels 2 or 4 pcs.
Manufacturing process
Mangal manufacturing process to begin with the development of the model you would like to receive.
1. The first thing to do is to draw up a detailed drawing brazier according to a pre-drawn sketch. The diagram needs put down all sizes — will help you clearly follow the plan without being distracted by additional fittings.
One of the blueprint options
The blueprint looks like this. But the stand for the barrel can have a different shape. — choose the one you like.
2. When the diagram with dimensions is ready, you can start preparing individual parts:
- cut a corner and pipes;
- prepare fixing details: hinges, screws and bolts of the right size.
3. Further goes rather complicated work with the main structural element — barrel. Her must be cut in one of two ways. May be only part of the barrel is cut out, which will then become a lid,
Only the future cover is cut out ...
or it is cut exactly in half (depending on the model chosen).
... or the barrel is cut lengthwise exactly in half
After capacity will be cut, all her the edges are carefully processed with a grinding wheel so that no burrs remain on them.
Option one
- If the barrel is cut in half, her cut edges are framed with a metal corner — it is fixed by welding or screws.
- Exists more one option is when the second half of the barrel is used as a lid. In this case her the edges are also tied with a corner.
- The two parts are fastened with hinges so that the lid can be freely closed and opened.
- To The lid didn't open all the way back., one side make a movable mount.
- A metal handle is attached to the top. Her it is better to weld in the same way as the corners.
- The hole for the cork, which is in every barrel, is quite fit to fix the chimney. The only thing to consider when cutting containersif a lid is planned on it, the hole for the cork should be at the top her parts or cover, about at a distance of 30 degrees from the center. Subsequently, a pipe is screwed in or welded to remove smoke.
- In this model, if desired, it is quite possible to arrange racks on which the grill spit will be laid.
VariaNT Tueoroy
- In the second option, when the barrel is not cut in half, but from her a square part is cut out, it does not require finishing with a corner, but the cut in this case should be neat and even. To do this, it is processed with a grinding disc.cut out part — the cover is also attached to the main containers loops.
Hinged lid option
- Special corner parts are attached to the lower cut edge of the barrel, on which further gratings.
One way to install grille brackets
Third option
In the third option, when only half of the barrel is used and there is no lid, a finishing corner will be needed. Here also possible installation of grilling equipment.
Only half barrel used
4. Stand under the barrel can have a different shape:
- in the form of two semicircles, in which a round barbecue will lie;
One of the stand options
- two crosses, welded from a corner, with deployed corners along the diameter of the barrel;
- frame, also calculated according to her size.
- From above and in the middle, and if necessary, then from below they are fastened together with metal pieces of a corner or pipe.
- You need to choose from them exactly the one that seems easier for you to install. On the legs, four or two are fixed for convenience wheels. The mobile structure is easier to move around the site.
5. Then the barrel is installed and fixed on the finished stand using bolts or welding. For styling gratings can serve, welded at the corners of the barrel or half-barrel corners. At a distance of 15—20 cm from bottom parts containers corners are welded on which it will be laid lattice for coals.
The resourceful owner will not forget to make shelves
6. If desired, a convenient shelf can be arranged on the side of the barbecue grill— table.
Brazier, combined with oil lamp
Barbecue smoker from two barrels
If you want to make a more complex design, including more and the function of a smokehouse, and you have two metal barrels, you can try to make such option. AT German the hardest part is connecting the two containers between themselves and the manufacture of a door at the bottom of the barrel for laying firewood.
Look at the attached video - this is a barbecue from a barrel with your own hands that any good host can do.

Barbecue from a barrel, can easily serve as a brazier for barbecue — To do this, just remove the top lattice. It can also be used to cook other favorites of all. dishes. During the manufacturing process, you can independently invent and add additional functions, since this work requires a creative approach and gives wide scope for imagination. With this construction on his area, you will be convinced of her usefulness and convenience.
