Construction of a gazebo with a barbecue
Front the construction of a gazebo it is necessary to choose the right place, since this building will be used for cooking and a source of open fire will be placed in it. Fire safety rules prohibit locating sources of fire in the immediate vicinity of residential buildings. The minimum distance provided for such buildings is at least 10 meters. The same amount will have to retreat from the garage or the place of permanent parking of the car, as fuel vapors or engine oil can cause a serious fire.
Sanitary standards assume that the place for cooking and eating is located away from septic tanks and toilets... Practical experience dictates that in relation to these structures it is necessary to choose the windward side so that natural odors do not mix with the aroma of food. It will also be wise to retreat some distance from the trees, otherwise their branches and leaves will be damaged by smoke and sparks emitted from chimney... It is not recommended to place open flame sources under one canopy with house, since when ignited, the fire can very quickly spread to residential buildings, and it will be almost impossible to localize it.
Alcove can be performed on a foundation, or it can be a temporary structure, which is a tent on a metal frame. The place where the stone stove is supposed to be assembled must be equipped with a concrete slab on which a hearth or stove will be installed and a special area for storing firewood or coal. Gazebos with a barbecue and a stove, projects of which provide for compliance with all fire safety requirements, are erected on solid strip foundations.
The more massive the brick structure, the deeper and wider the foundation should be. To install a metal barbecue, you can get by with sheet steel of sufficient thickness, but it is still better to strengthen the site with monolithic concrete 15 - 20 cm thick.If the area of the site allows you to carry the barbecue away from the gazebo, then a chimney is not necessary in principle. If the stove is located at a short distance, then in the absence of a pipe it will be impossible to be in the gazebo due to strong smoke.
A brazier with a brick barbecue in its simplest form looks like a U-shaped structure with walls in half a brick. For such structures that are operated outdoors, you can use ordinary red ceramic brick, the use of refractory grades is not necessary, since the temperatures are very low.
If the stove is made in a closed type with a chimney or combines the functions of a mini-smokehouse, then the use of refractory bricks in the fuel combustion zone is mandatory, since ordinary bricks will not last long.
Closed gazebos with barbecue grills and a stove, which combine tables for guests and a hot zone under one roof, must comply with all fire safety requirements. This means that the chimney must have full thermal insulation, the outlet must be located between the supporting rafters, without touching them. The pipe of a stone or metal chimney should be located above roofs gazebos 50 - 70 cm.
