On warm summer days, there's nothing better than meeting up with family or friends for a barbecue. The barbecue is the main element of a well-equipped garden, allowing you to enjoy freshly prepared, gourmet meals outdoors. Today it is not only a functional device, but also an important design element of every external space, so it is worth considering a veranda for your home with a barbecue. However, it should be remembered that in addition to aesthetic qualities, the grill must first of all be practical, efficient and correctly installed. There are many models available that vary in size, installation, style and, of course, cost. Check out some examples to help you choose the perfect barbecue for your patio.
With a stove complex (barbecue, barbecue and oven in one)
The most impressive, capital and expensive option is a gazebo with a stove complex.
In this case, the oven combines all the options for frying meat and preparing other dishes. You can fry meat on the grill and barbecue. The oven smoothly transforms into a stove, on which you can place a cauldron and cook pilaf.
This entire huge complex must fit somewhere, so the gazebos most often turn out to be impressive.
For example, in the gazebo with the stove complex of Nikolai Tarasov, its dimensions are 4 by 7 meters (photos can be found at the link provided).
Furnace complex of Nikolai Tarasov
In addition to a place for preparing food, there is a table with benches and free space (for example, for dancing). The barbecue oven is implemented in an interesting way - you can put a grate or skewers of any size, since metal tubes allow you to reduce the size of the grilling space.
To build such a gazebo, it is necessary to pour a separate foundation for the stove (the building itself can be located on a columnar foundation).
It is important to think about the roof, because a chimney must be installed through it. Fire safety, the presence of draft, laying bricks - the creation of such a complex requires appropriate preparation, all the above-described points must be taken into account.

Selection of materials and cladding
A variety of materials can be suitable for lining and assembling the firebox. If you have experience in welding, the ideal solution for assembling a metal barbecue wall is. You can forge a grate, cooking surface or door from cast iron. The optimal material for the firebox and portal will be brick, and it should not only be red, but also, for certain areas, fireclay stove fireproof. This material can better withstand high temperatures and their sudden changes.
For the cladding of the stove, the list of materials becomes many times larger. The most inexpensive option is to leave the brickwork unchanged. However, to give it a more well-groomed appearance, it is recommended to fill the seams between the bricks with a special compound. However, it is best not to leave the brick surface in its standard form, since brick tends to absorb moisture. In order to avoid destruction, treat the brick surface with a special protective varnish or coloring composition.
Among low-cost facing materials, decorative plaster and paint are especially popular. Both materials should be suitable for outdoor use and withstand high temperatures well.
As a more expensive option for cladding a barbecue oven, you can use ceramic tiles, terracotta or artificial stone. The more expensive and most durable finishes are marble, granite, soapstone and other natural stone.
Facing with tiles or mosaics always looks beautiful and stylish. With the help of these materials you can create a unique, inimitable image and an entire work of art, composition.
In this video clip you can learn about the principle of operation of a fireplace stove with a brick barbecue in a country house or in a house:
With barbecue
In the case of a barbecue, two options are possible:
- The grill is located inside the gazebo. It can be metal or brick. There is a smoke exhaust (hood, umbrella) that prevents smoke. It is necessary even if the gazebo is open.
- The grill is located next to the gazebo, but outside. In this case, the gazebo may have nothing to do with roasting meat at all, since this process takes place outside. This option is cheaper and more practical, but requires additional space. In addition, the “charm” is lost because the meat is fried indoors, next to people.
The option with a barbecue is the most common - most people prefer to fry meat on skewers, and you can adapt the barbecue grate with your own hands if desired.
Which of the options proposed above is better is up to you to decide, since this is a very individual moment for each person.
The grill can easily be converted into a barbecue by adding a grate and guides over the coals.
In my opinion, a barbecue in a gazebo (with sufficient free space) has a positive effect on both the mood of the barbecue owner and the entire company as a whole.
With a barbecue in the form of a mill
At the same time, frying meat is a delicate moment, you need a place to string the meat, and besides, fat often drips onto the floor, causing dirt and the like.
On this side, it is better to move the grill outside the gazebo. How many people - so many opinions.
Open structure made of metal profile with barbecue
The photographs above show various designs of gazebos with barbecue facilities. I specially made a selection of closed, open, brick and metal grills.
The prices for such buildings are very different, so if you are looking at buying or building on your site, then keep in mind that the main thing in such buildings is the idea. And it can already be realized from various materials, including cheaper ones.
Outdoor seating area idea
fireplace tooth
After laying the first two rows, the so-called fireplace tooth is laid out. The chimney tooth is the back wall of the portal, laid out not at a right angle of 90 degrees, but at an inclination of approximately 60 degrees. The presence of a fireplace tooth helps to guide the smoke in the right direction, through the chimney, and prevents the wind from blowing into the portal.
You can get the desired slope by treating it with a grinder, sawing off a certain part from each brick of the first row at the desired angle. The configuration of the side walls must correspond to the inclination of the tooth and be integral with it.
The top row of the tooth should be located just above the arch of the portal. In this position, it will facilitate the removal of smoke into the chimney, preventing its emission through the portal arch.
With barbecue
Barbecue in its classic version is a method of cooking meat (from the English BBQ).
The “barbecue” itself, on which the meat is fried, can be anything. It may consist of bricks and be shaped like a stove. It can be metal to match the barbecue. There is even an option similar to a regular stove (frying occurs due to electric heating).
Therefore, when people talk about a barbecue and a gazebo, the question immediately arises - in what format would you like to see this tandem?
Classic electric barbecue
Most opinions boil down to the fact that for a gazebo it is enough to install an ordinary barbecue, on which a grate is simply laid and the meat is fried. Therefore, buildings in this category are not very different from the previous ones.
Barbecue is a method of cooking meat (from the English BBQ).
Separately, I can only highlight the Finnish gazebos with barbecues. They are designed in such a way that the hearth is located in the center of the room, which is where the meat is fried. There is a table around the hearth (in some cases it is shifted slightly to the side).
Finnish house outside
Grill inside
The design of such houses is usually simpler than standard warm gazebos. The price is cheaper, since this house is delivered disassembled and assembled in one working day. Of course, we are talking about amounts of more than 150 thousand rubles. There, one grill costs quite a lot of money.
Pipe
Then a pipe is laid out of refractory bricks, and fireclay clay is also used as a mortar. During the masonry process, it is necessary to ensure that there are no cracks or cracks in it, promptly covering each of them with mortar. Compliance with this rule will provide the stove with good draft and protect you from getting smoke into your eyes.
The chimney must be high enough so that the smoke from your beauty does not enter the windows of your own home, and the windows of your neighbors too.
With oven
As already mentioned, the oven can combine all three formats (barbecue, barbecue and the oven itself). But it can also only perform its main function - prepare pies, bread and other dishes.
In this case, the furnace space must be covered with a metal shield; accordingly, the furnace design must be prepared for this in advance.
This option is the least used among all those considered. The thing is that you can’t fry meat on skewers or grills here, and shish kebab is the most popular dish in our country.
Therefore, if you are considering the option of installing a conventional oven without an additional complex, then you will have to fry the meat on a grill nearby.
“Fairytale” gazebo with a hollow stove
On the Internet I came across a very beautiful (if not colorful) gazebo in a fairytale style and with a stove. This is the case when a little imagination and ingenuity help create a masterpiece.
I don’t know how good this stove is with draft and heat retention, but this structure looks very impressive.
Stages of construction
In order for the final result to fully meet all your expectations, it is necessary to use a specific and thoughtful plan during the construction process. You can read the step-by-step guide to performing preparatory and construction work below:
- Since the structure is being erected in the garden, regardless of its dimensions and weight, it will require a foundation to be built. Due to it, the heating unit will gain stability and reliability. In this case, it is best to give preference to a concrete foundation;
- Now we move on to the construction and execution of masonry work. If you have not encountered this process before, you must first obtain advice from an experienced specialist, or study the relevant literature. It will also take time to become familiar with the features and method of execution of your specific order;
- The main component of any solid fuel street or home structure is the chimney. All combustion and decay products of fuel are removed through it. The most complex and expensive is a brick chimney. As a more budget-friendly and simpler option, you can install a steel one. The modern category includes sandwich and modular chimneys with a minimum of elbows and thermal insulation that protects the structure from freezing and condensation;
- At the last stage, the fireplace is lined. It can be made with any materials and in a certain style.
You can familiarize yourself with the methods of cladding street structures below.
Beautiful projects with barbecue, barbecue and oven
Finally, I have collected creative and interesting design solutions related to a grill, barbecue, oven or the whole complex together.
If you spend a little time on the Internet and look through the options, you will not find anything - elite European projects costing about a million rubles, and open gazebos with a fireplace, and much more.
I recommend taking a look at these photos - perhaps some option will inspire you to build your own structure or modify an existing one.
I hope this article has pleased you with photographs and comments. Perhaps you have your own opinion on this matter or photos of your gazebos that you would like to share? Feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the article, I will try to answer it within 24 hours.
Laying the foundation
A hole no more than half a meter deep is dug under the foundation and filled with gravel approximately halfway. After this, the gravel must be compacted thoroughly. The result is a kind of cushion, around the perimeter of which formwork is installed.
Then the fittings are installed. Iron rods or steel mesh can be used as reinforcement. Under no circumstances should the reinforcement protrude beyond the upper edges of the formwork.
After this, concrete is poured into the formwork. After about three days, after the concrete has hardened and dried, the formwork is removed. The foundation of the future furnace is ready.
How to plaster a stove with your own hands, 3 types of plaster solution recipes
In summer cottages located outside the city, far from gas supply networks, summer residents independently install stoves in their houses.
Detailed instructions: how to plaster a stove
, 3 types of plaster solution recipes, how to apply plaster and much more.
In villages where stoves have been standing for a long time and are gradually being destroyed, residents repair them and make them new by applying a layer of plaster.
In principle, plastering a stove is not difficult. The main thing is to follow certain rules.
Work technology
Before starting plastering work, the oven must be heated. The oven walls must be hot. First, they are moistened with plain water. Water can be applied with a brush or spray. Only after this do they spray (apply a liquid solution).
After the first layer has hardened somewhat, apply a second, thicker layer.
Each subsequent layer should be approximately 5 mm thick.
When all the solution has been applied and has hardened a little, you should start grouting it. To do this, you need to moisten the walls with water and rub them with a float until they are completely level.
