Own brand is a gorgeous opportunity to fry kebabs and relax in nature. Metal brand is usually used for relaxing in nature. It is easily going and placed in the car trunk. There are such types of mangalls that are convenient for manual carrying. Let's talk more about how to make a brazier with your own metal hands.

Types of Mangalov
It is customary to allocate a few varieties of mangals:
- folding
- portable
- b-B-Q,
- art Deco.
Folding mangals are suitable for those who love active rest. Their main dignity is compactness and relatively small weight. At the same time, they are ideal for manual transport and are installed absolutely on any surface without any additional elements and fasteners.
Portable differ from folding in that they have monolithic roasting and removable legs. Such mangals do most often, as the process of their manufacture is the most simple. But, without auto transport, we are extremely difficult to transport them.
Barbecue Mangaly from portable differs only by the fact that there is a grill grid on top. As a rule, they have the form of a hemisphere, which is covered with a lid from above, but there are rectangular options. The cover is needed in order to stew vegetables or meat (for those who do not like too grilled crust).
Art Deco assumes the presence of forged elements. It can be like a whole forged product and separate details of external design. These mangals are most often used as stationary. Forging causes the impressive weight of the product, so it is difficult to transfer and transport it.
All other types of mangals are the modifications of the above. Among them:
- mANGAL with a metal roof,
- mangal on wheels
- mANGAL with a stand for skewers,
- brazing brass
- metal mangal collapsible.
Making modifications involves improving structures by means of fastening additional elements to them. At the same time, it should be remembered for the purposes for which the brazier is made, since each detail takes the design.
Mangala design
One of the most common comments related to the brazier is the boring exterior design and the same type of products. The same is true for homemade mangalams. This circumstance is quite a logical explanation - heat and open flames literally destroy any paint or other decorative elements.
Nevertheless, it's easy to make a unique and beautiful brand. For these purposes, various additional elements are set, for example:
- roof
- siderests,
- forging elements
- double bottom,
- use non-standard forms.
Consider each of the elements from a practical point of view.
Mangals with the roof allow you to prepare under all weather conditions. The cost of their assembly will be higher only if one sheet has not become enough. On the other hand, if you use welding, it will not be possible to remove the roof, which will make the brazing. To solve this problem, we enjoy the collapsible technology, which will be talked in detail below.
Sometimes the roof is equipped with a hood. This attribute is only needed if the manbon stands in the room. In addition, for the operation of extraction is necessary to create the appropriate traction. Therefore hood assumes stationary barbecue.
Side supports are only necessary if you plan to cook several dishes at the same time on a great campaign. They are relevant for barbecues 10-12 skewers and more, as in smaller products and put their weight on top of the load overturned brazier. An interesting solution - set the stand on both sides. Like the roof, they are fixed and removable.
forging elements - the most common decorating reception. Call it a fashion no longer possible, since the commercially available solid-forged barbecues, significantly surpassing beauty decorated model. Besides, the cost of such elements deco sufficiently high and the quality of the metal raises questions. If you use the wrong steel, rust grill for a couple of weeks.
Much more practical to give the product a non-standard form. Even thick steel sheets are relatively easy to bending, so with the creation of a round, oval or any other barbecue will not be any problems.
Sometimes there are grills on wheels. They are relevant for residents of private homes that install grills on a hard surface (tile, concrete, asphalt). On the ground the wheels will go bad, besides, the whole yard is stained with dirt (especially after rain or watering).
Double bottom allows you to burn several fires. The solution allows the use of barbecue as usual pans or cook immediately for 15-20 people. In practice, the need for a second roaster is only for owners of kebab.

How to make a brand
Technology manufacturing barbecues are divided into two stages:
- preparatory,
- assembly.
Assembling the barbecue is unique, so each of the options will be considered separately. But the order of the preparatory work all alone. From it and begin.
preparation stages:
- selection of sizes,
- choice of materials,
- preparation of drawings,
- cutting parts.
Dimensions of metal grills have a sufficiently large value. For a family or a small campaign optimally suited for 6-8 BBQ skewers. If the holidays have you going for 10-15 people, it is better to do a great BBQ. The easiest way to determine the size, think of how many people it is designed and how much meat at a time you need to cook.
Now consider in the nominal version. The distance between the slots for skewers should be at least 5 cm. Otherwise, the meat turns rather difficult. It also makes no sense to do too long, since it will not be better than this kebab, but it will take more wood or coal, and the mughal mass will be significant. The width should be at least 25 cm, the maximum is limited to long skewers (more than 40 cm are made only for cafes and skewers).
Mant's supports (legs) is a separate design element. Naturally, instead, they sometimes use bricks or everything that falls under the arm, but much more convenient to immediately think the legs. Their height should be convenient to work with the brazier (at least 5 cm, otherwise the heat fell apart or cracks the brick).
The depth of the mangal should allow to accumulate enough heat, while it should still be at least 4 cm. In practice, 10 cm is enough. The depth is used even in order to increase the number of skewers that are placed on one mangal. For this, the side walls make a long 15 cm, and the slits for skewers cut through different depths. This allows for the same sizes to fry twice as much (heat, also need more).
The next stage is the choice of steel. By and large for the mangala, absolutely all brands are suitable. Exemplary performance:
- tin 1 mm thick - service life of 3-4 years,
- steel 2 mm thick - service life of 4-5 years,
- 3 mm thick steel - service life of 8-10 years,
- 4 mm thick steel - service life of 10-15 years,
- refractory steel with a thickness of 2 mm - 6-8 years,
- refractory steel 3 mm thick - 12-16 years old
- stainless steel with a thickness of 1 mm - 6-7 years old
- stainless steel with a thickness of 2 mm - 9-12 years.
Thus, if the material has to be bought, the optimal option is a stainless steel. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that it has specific welding technology, therefore it will be easier to use wire as fastenings (in such a way it is inconvenient to transfer, as there is a risk of deforming or breaking the brazier).
Refractory steel is quite expensive. On her background, the usual iron thick 3 mm is suitable. It is easy to weld and allows you to make durable transportable designs.
For the legs suitable:
- any fittings
- water or gas pipes,
- any profile.
Mangala made of metal, the drawings and sketches of which are prepared in advance, will be much easier to collect. In addition, on paper it is easy to complement or change the concept. Initially, the sketch is drawn, the design and additional elements are thought out. Only after that go to a specific drawing. You do not need special skills, quite a schematic pattern. Basic parts of the drawing:
- bottom,
- side walls
- legs
- additional elements.
For each of the items you need to specify width and length. The area of \u200b\u200ball elements will help to calculate how much metal sheets need.
Assembling portable mangala
Portable mangals for use within a private house or summer cottage is better to do from galvanized tin (stainless steel). To do this, you will need:
- steel metal wire,
- tin
- armature.
First of all, cut the bottom and end walls. This is done as follows, the length of the end walls is plusing to the length of the bottom of the bottom and the whole piece of the desired width is cut. Next, the sides are simply bend. For large mangals, the same actions are performed not in length, but in width (since the carrier walls of the mangal, on which the skewer will be located, should be as reliable as possible). Flexing in width accelerates mangala wear (sheet area is more, therefore, the resulting amount of heat is also greater, as a result, corrosion occurs in faster).
Side walls should be cut separately, they must be 6-8 cm longer than the size specified in the drawing. The edges of the walls are bend from both sides of 3-4 cm and are attached from the outside side of the end sidewalls. Further, on each of the angles, two holes are made (from below and on top), through which the wire is pulled out, which fixes the compound (when flexing in the width, the same action is performed with the end walls).
For the legs are used rod fittings. Its length equals the sum of the legs and the end wall. Prut bends in the middle, forming two legs. On the arc in three places, it is attached to the end wall. On the other hand, the same is done.
If the mangal is planned to take with him in nature, then it is better to do it from steel. To do this, cut all the necessary details and weld them with each other. If it is necessary to make removable legs, nuts are welded to the roaster, the nuts with a diameter for reinforcement are welded, and the thread is cut on the metal rod. As a result, the legs are easily dismantled and do not occupy an excess space.
Similarly, the principle of action of the removable roof is arranged. 4 nuts are welded to the side walls in the corners, parallel to them on the roof itself, nuts are also attached. The carving is done on both sides of the reinforcement. The only drawback - the brazier is going only together (someone must hold the roof).
Any additional details are welded only after the case is ready.
Assembling folding mangala
The procedure is not too different from the previous version, the exception that not all parts are welded. In addition, you will need a loop. Procedure for performing work:
- cut down
- cut strips with a height of 2-3 cm around the perimeter of the bottom,
- in one of the lateral bands to make two holes for steel wire or thin reinforcement,
- in both side boards, drilled at a distance of 3-4 cm from each other,
- fight them to the base of the roar
- spear with the side of the loop,
- cut the side walls of the desired length,
- make in them a washed under the skewers,
- cut the walls to hinges
- make on the sides at the same height of the groove-groove,
- cut ends (required trapezoidal shape to create a wedge),
- to weld along the edges of the ends (with the spirit of the sides at the same height) thin bolt,
- from the outdoor side of the side walls to install a lock-latch,
- make out of wire or fittings handle and put it in pre-prepared holes,
- send the edges of the handle (so as not to fly out).
Mangal is ready to use.
In order to save on the loop, they do themselves. For this, instead of loops, weld to the lateral parts of the roar of the nails or bolts so that a sheet of fusters passed between the wall and bolt. Next, cut the small strips of tin, maintain them around the bolt and breed to the side walls. The legs are made in the method described in the previous embodiment of the mangala.
Making some additional elements
Now briefly consider how to do:
- grill grill
- barbecue cover
- non-standard forms.
For the grill grill, it is enough to cut the necessary number of plates from steel wire and two more rods just longer than the mangala (the base that becomes on the ends). All others are welded or screwed to long rods. The optimal distance is 1-2 cm.
For the cover, it is enough with the outside of the brazier to weld two hinges on which there will be a lid. For high-quality barbecue, its weight should be at least 5 kg (otherwise the effect does not work). If we are talking about extinguishing, the lid should not come into contact with preparing products, so it is necessary to envisage the delimiter.
In its usual state, the metal thickness in 3 mm bends extremely difficult. Therefore, it must be pre-split. To do this, you will need a fire. Ideal for the combustion temperature of good coal or lane from garden trees (apple tree, cherry, apricot, etc.). The metal-hot metal will easily be bludging without the use of a special tool. It is not necessary to lower it in the water, as it will lead to corrosion.
Advice: If the appearance of the mangaal does not interest you at all, then buy for 250-400 rubles. The old case from the computer, remove all plastic elements from it and use the finished grill. It will last at least 4 years. The drum from the washing machine is also suitable with the same success.
