Hello everyone,
we have planned a new project for the spring.
We want to build our own grill. But we want to do it ourselves, so it should be as affordable as possible.
Has anyone here done this before and can give us some tips? And which instructions did you follow?
It would be great if you could help us out.
Of course, we still have time before we want to start, but as the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.
Has anyone here ever built a grill from brick themselves?

He was a master bricklayer. He used natural stone for the cladding and firebricks for the flue. Unfortunately, I can no longer ask him how he constructed the area for the grilling surface. But you will surely find plenty of useful information online. Besides, you are a professional in this field.
My dream is to have a large gas grill from Napoléon. Grilling without long waiting times.

This is a ceramic burner that can reach up to 800°C (1472°F), allowing you to create perfect sear marks on steaks and burgers.
Good Napoléon dealers also offer special grilling classes where you can try out different models.
Unfortunately, we only found out about this after our purchase, so we don’t have a rear burner or a Sizzle Zone...
But the trend is moving toward having a second or even third grill anyway...
Best regards,

My brother once built a brick barbecue. Unfortunately, it was somewhat crooked. Although it was fully functional, after a few years we ended up knocking it down and replacing it with a purchased stone grill.
Personally, I prefer cooking with wood or charcoal and will probably never get a gas grill, no matter how quickly it heats up. It’s not just about the food.

In my parents’ neighborhood, a neighbor also built a masonry grill with accessories. It looks really good. However, it might be a while before I visit there again.
When choosing the location, keep in mind that once the grill is installed, it will probably stay there for a long time. So, you need to determine the “perfect spot” in advance.

We have had a gas grill for about 5 years now (4 burners plus a side burner, which has never been used). I agree on one point: it heats up very quickly, so you don’t have to wait long for your food.
However, when we moved in, our home builder gave us a kettle charcoal grill as a gift. Last year, when most of the terrace wasn’t finished yet, it stayed packed away. But I’m really looking forward to grilling with charcoal again soon.
