Block Built BBQ

    Hi all

    I’d like to build a block built barbecue.

    I’ve worked up some plans but I would be really grateful if someone could through their expert eye over it.

    For example,
    - is there a better way to build it to optimise the use of blocks?
    - is the space I’ve allowed for the bbq reasonable (I’ve looked up a few Weber’s and it seems like a fully open bbq should fit with a little overhang). I’ve never owed a bbq - they all seem to have stands. I presume it detaches. Are all bbqs the same dimensions?
    - I have an upstand included. I think it looks nice. Does it do anything to take the heat?
    - I plan to render it. Not sure what the counter should be?
    - the long counter is to have plenty of space for other food etx.
    - I’ll need to put a cupboard in for a gas canister.


    Anything I’ve seen is either ‘brick built’ charcoal bbq or esle it’s this mad expensive outdoor kitchen type thing.

    Anyway - thanks everyone. Appreciate all views.

    I would go for a bbq that's designed to be built-in, cos Weber say their free-standing bbqs should not be used built-in because ventilation.

    Unfortunately the built-in Summit models appear to be both horrifically expensive and unavailable in Europe.

    Otherwise, you're going to need to disassemble/modify a freestanding grill and build in enough ventilation that it's safe.

    Are you sure this is a good idea? :D

    Thanks so much for that.

    Didn’t realise there were freestanding and built in. But of course the one I want is more expensive.

    Back to the drawing board. Any suggestions?

    I would like to have a tidy place for the bbq

    Maybe a simple alcove for the freestanding bbq and a nice sized table/counter to the right for food, beer etc.

    Any comments welcome.

    Actually I did find a ‘relatively’ cheap built in bbq.

    Presuming I select this one - how would they affect the block work would you reckon.

    Dunno but that's an absolute beast of a BBQ for the money, output wise.
