Step-by-step tutorial on how to create a mind-blowing grill for your backyard

Whether you’re a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a novice looking to dive into the world of backyard barbecues, we’ve got you. Here, we will equip you with the knowledge and inspiration to transform raw materials into a fully functional, one-of-a-kind grill that will be the centerpiece of your outdoor entertainment for years to come. Get ready to stoke the flames of ingenuity as we take you through the process of crafting a backyard grill from zero.

What you’ll need

  • Bricks
  • Cement and sand
  • A pallet
  • A semicircular metal plate
  • Iron rods
  • Two angle metal flat bars. One of them with slots or clefts for the rods
  • Firewood logs

Step 1

  • Cut a round wooden base for the grill and place it where you are going to locate your BBQ
  • Place bricks on top of the base, covering it completely
  • Pour cement onto the middle of the bricks circle and flatten it
  • Continue sticking more bricks around, making a tower

Step 2

  • On the inside of the tower, glue a line of bricks that divides it in half
  • Continue sticking bricks on top, in a staggered manner, until you reach the top
  • Cover the brick ladder with a mixture of cement and sand

At this point, you can see how this incredible grill is starting to look amazing

Step 3

  • Put the angle bar with clefts across the top of the grill
  • Insert a rod on each cleft
  • Keep sticking bricks on this edge of the grill, in a ladder shape
  • Put another angle flat bar in front of the first one
  • Build a ladder tower of bricks on top of the bar, shorter than the one on the edge of the grill

There should be a space in between the two ladders

Step 4

  • Sand the pallet
  • Paint it with the wood stain
  • Cut off boards with diagonal edges
  • Stick them together, making a semicircular shape
  • Place your metal board on them and cut the inner edges of the wood to that shape

Step 5

  • Place the metal plate on the grill
  • Place the wooden semicircular board on top
  • Make vertical cuts in a star shape to the firewood logs
  • Introduce the logs in the grill and fire them up
  • When the metal plate is hot, place your preferred food on it, to cook
