Own brazier is a gorgeous opportunity to fry kebabs and relax well in nature. Margon made of metal is used, as a rule, for nature relaxation. He is easily assembled and placed in the trunk of the car. There are also such types of barbecue that are convenient for manual carrying. Let's talk more about how to make a mangal with your own hands from metal.

Types of barbecue
It is customary to distinguish several varieties of barbecue:
- folding,
- portable,
- b-B-Q,
- art Deco.
Folding barbecue is suitable for those who love outdoor activities. Their main advantage is compactness and relatively small weight. At the same time, they are ideal for manual transportation and are installed on absolutely on any surface without any additional elements and fasteners.
Portable differ from folding in that they have a monolithic roasting and removable legs. Such barbecues are made most often, since the process of their manufacture is the simplest. But, without vehicles, it is extremely difficult to transport them.
The barbecue barbecue from the figuratives differs only in that there is a grill grill on top of the brazier. As a rule, they have the shape of a hemisphere, which is covered with a lid on top, but there are also rectangular options. The lid is needed in order to extinguish vegetables or meat (for those who do not like a too fried crust).
Art Deco assumes the presence of forged elements. It can be both a whole forged product and individual details of the external design. Mangals data are most often used as stationary. Forging determines the impressive weight of the product, so it is difficult to transfer and transport it.
All other types of barbecue are modifications of the above. Among them:
- charger with a metal roof,
- charger on wheels,
- charger with a stand for skewers,
- marbage with double roasting
- the malline made of metal is collapsible.
The manufacture of modifications implies the improvement of structures by attaching additional elements to them. In this case, it should be remembered about the goals for which the barbecue is made, since each part burns the structure.
Mangal design
One of the most common remarks related to barbecue is the boring external design and the same type of product offered. The same is true for home -made mangans. This circumstance has a quite logical explanation - the heat and open flame will literally destroy any paint or other decorative elements in just several times.
Nevertheless, to make a unique and beautiful grill is quite simple. For these purposes, various additional elements are installed, for example:
- roof,
- side stands,
- forging elements,
- double bottom,
- use non -standard forms.
Consider each of the elements from a practical point of view.
Mangals with a roof allow you to cook under any weather conditions. The cost of their assembly will be higher only if one sheet is not enough. On the other hand, if you use welding, then it will be impossible to remove the roof, which will make the barbecue bulky. To solve this problem, they use collapsible technology, which we will talk about in detail later.
Sometimes the roof is equipped with a hood. This attribute is needed only if the grill is in the room. In addition, to ensure the operation of the hood, you need to create appropriate traction. Therefore, the hood involves the stationaryness of the barbecue.
Side stands are needed only if it is planned to cook several dishes, while for a large campaign. They are relevant for barbecue for 10-12 or more skewers, since in smaller products their weight and the cargo set on top will be overturned. A peculiar solution is to establish stands from both sides. Like the roof, they are stationary and removable.
Forging elements are the most common decoration. It is no longer possible to call it fashionable, since there are whole -bearing barbecues on sale, which are significantly superior to the beauty of decorated models. In addition, the cost of such elements of the deco is quite high, and the quality of the metal raises questions. If you use incorrect steel, Minge will rust in a couple of weeks.
It is much more practical to give the product a non -standard shape. Even thick sheets became easily bending, therefore, with the creation of round, oval or any other grill, there will be no special problems.
Sometimes barbecue are found on wheels. They are relevant for residents of private houses that install barbecue on a solid surface (tile, concrete, asphalt). The wheels will go on the ground, in addition, the entire yard will be stained with mud (especially after rain or watering).
The double bottom allows you to burn several bonfires at once. The solution allows you to use the barbecue as a conventional frying pan or cook immediately for 15-20 people. In practice, only the owners of barbecue have the need for a second fried.
Help choose the optimal malline made of metal, a photo from the article will help in the best way.
How to make a malline made of metal
Mangals manufacturing technology are divided into two stages:
- preparatory,
- assembly.
The assembly of the barbecue is individual, so each of the options we will consider separately. But the order of preparatory work is everywhere. Let's start with him.
Stages of preparation:
- sizes.
- the choice of materials,
- preparation of drawings,
- cutting details.
The sizes of the sacrals made of metal are quite important. For one family or a small campaign, a barbecue for 6-8 skewers is optimally suitable. If 10-15 people gather for your holidays, then it is better to make a big barbecue. The easiest way to determine the size, think about how many people it is designed and how much meat needs to be cooked at a time.
Now consider in a numerical option. The distance between the slots for skewers should be at least 5 cm. Otherwise, it will be quite difficult to turn the meat. It makes no sense to make too much distance, since the barbecue will not be better from this, but you will need more firewood or coal, and the mass of the barbecue will be significant. The width should be at least 25 cm, the maximum is limited by long skewers (more than 40 cm is made only for cafes and barbecue).
Supports for the barbecue (legs) are a separate element of the structure. Naturally, instead of them, bricks are sometimes used or everything that falls by the arm, but it is much more convenient to immediately think about the legs. Their height should be convenient for working with barbecue (at least 5 cm, otherwise the heat will plow grass or crack brick).
The depth of the barbecue should allow you to accumulate enough heat, while the meat should still remain at least 4 cm. In practice, 10 cm is enough. The depth is also used in order to increase the number of skewers that are placed on one barbecue. To do this, the side walls are made 15 cm long, while the slots for skewers are cut at different depths. This allows you to fry twice as much as possible (heat, it will also need more).
The next stage is the choice of steel. By and large, absolutely all brands are suitable for the barbecue. Sample performance characteristics:
- tin 1 mm thick-service life is 3-4 years,
- steel 2 mm thick-service life is 4-5 years,
- steel 3 mm thick-service life is 8-10 years,
- steel 4 mm thick-service life is 10-15 years,
- refractory steel 2 mm thick-6-8 years old,
- refractory steel 3 mm thick-12-16 years old,
- stainless steel 1 mm thick-6-7 years old,
- stainless steel 2 mm thick-9-12 years old.
Thus, if you have to buy the material, the best option is stainless steel. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that it has a specific welding technology, so it will be easier to use the wire as fasteners (in this form it is inconvenient to transfer, since there is a risk of deforming or breaking the barbecue).
Fire steel is quite expensive. Against its background, ordinary iron 3 mm thick is better. It is easily welded and allows you to make strong transportable structures.
It is suitable for the legs:
- any reinforcement,
- water or gas pipes,
- any profiles.
Marbage made of metal, drawings and sketches of which are prepared in advance, will be much easier to assemble. In addition, on paper it is easy to supplement or change the concept. At first, a sketch is drawn, design and additional elements are thought out. Only after that they move on to a specific drawing. It is not necessary to have special skills, a schematic pattern is enough. The main parts of the drawing:
- bottom,
- side walls,
- legs,
- additional elements.
For each of the points, you need to specify the width and length. The area of \u200b\u200ball elements will help to calculate how much metal sheets will be needed.
Assembly of a portable barbecue
Portable barbecue for use within a private house or summer cottage is best made from galvanized tin (stainless steel). This will need:
- steel metal wire,
- tin,
- armature.
First of all, the bottom and end walls are cut. This is done as follows, to the length of the bottom itself, the length of the end walls is plused and a whole piece of the desired width is cut out. Further, the sides are simply bending. For large barbecues, the same actions are performed not in length, but in width (since the bearing walls of the grill on which shampoo will be located should be as reliable as possible). The bending of the width accelerates the wear of the barbecue (the area of \u200b\u200bthe sheet is greater, therefore, the amount of heat is obtained, as a result, corrosion occurs faster).
The side walls should be cut separately, they should be 6-8 cm longer than the size indicated in the drawing. The edges of the walls are bent on both sides of 3-4 cm and are assigned from the outside of the end sidewalls. Further, two holes are made on each of the corners (from below and from above) through which the wire extends, which fixes the connection (when bending along the width, the same actions are performed with the end walls).
For the legs, reinforcement rod is used. Its length is equal to the sum of the legs and the end wall. The rod bends in the middle, forming two legs. In the arc in three places, it is attached to the end wall. On the other hand, the same thing is done.
If you plan to take the brazier with you to nature, then it is better to make it from steel. To do this, you need to cut out all the necessary details and cook them together. If it is necessary to make removable legs, then the nuts are welded to the frill under the reinforcement, and a thread is cut on a metal rod. As a result, the legs are easily dismantled and do not occupy excess space.
In the same way, the principle of operation of a removable roof is arranged. 4 nuts are welded to the side walls in the corners, parallel to them on the roof, nuts are also attached. The thread is made on both sides of the reinforcement. The only drawback is that the barbecue is collected only together (someone must hold the roof).
Any additional details are welded only after the housing is already ready.
Assembly of a folding barbecue
The procedure is not too different from the previous option, with the exception that not all details are welded to each other. In addition, loops will be needed. Procedure for the performance of work:
- cut the bottom
- cut strips 2-3 cm high around the perimeter of the bottom,
- in one of the side strips, make two holes for steel wire or thin reinforcement,
- in both lateral strips, drill bluntly blown at a distance of 3-4 cm from each other,
- to weld them to the base of the roasting
- to weld the loops from the sides,
- cut the side walls of the desired length,
- make crumbling in them for skewers,
- to weld the walls to the hinges,
- make on the sides at the same height of the spray,
- cut the ends (be sure to be trapezoidal in shape to create a wedge),
- to weld along the edges of the ends (from the spirit of the sides at the same height) a thin bolt,
- on the outer side of the side walls, install the lock lock,
- make a pen from wire or reinforcement and put it into pre -prepared holes,
- bend the edges of the handle (so as not to fly out).
Mall is ready for use.
In order to save on loops, they are done independently. To do this, instead of loops, weld nails or bolts to the side parts of the brazier so that a sheet of tin passes between the wall and the bolt. Next, cut off the small strips of tin, bend them around the bolt and weld them to the side walls. The legs are made in the way described in the previous version of the assembly of the barbecue.
Making some additional elements
Now briefly consider how to make:
- grill grill,
- barbecue cover,
- non -standard forms.
For the grill, it is enough to cut the required number of rods from steel wire and two more rods a little longer than the barbecue (the basis that becomes on the ends). All the others are welded or screwed to long rods. The optimal distance is 1-2 cm.
For the lid, it is enough to weld two loops on which the lid will be welcome from the outside of the roasting. For a quality barbecue, its weight should be at least 5 kg (otherwise the effect will not work). If we are talking about extinguishing, then the lid should not come into contact with the prepared products, so you need to provide for the delimiter.
In its usual state, metal is extremely difficult to bend 3 mm thick. Therefore, it must be previously hot. To do this, you need a fire. The temperature of the burning of good coal or logs of garden trees (apple, cherry, apricot, etc.) is ideal. The metal red -hot to Bela will easily bent without the use of a special tool. It is not necessary to lower it into the water, as this will lead to corrosion.
Advice: If you are not at all interested in the appearance of the grill, then buy for 250-400 rubles. The old case is from the computer, remove all the plastic elements from it and use the prepared barbecue. It will last at least 4 years. The drum from the washing machine is the same successful.
