Mangals with smokehouse: varieties, ways of constructing structures

Is it possible to have a good rest in the fresh air without cooking shish kebabs? It is for this reason that almost every person wants to have a stove, a brazier, a smokehouse or all these devices together on his suburban site.

What it is?

Modifications of ovens with smoking chambers are quite diverse. The structures can be mobile and stationary. They differ in their configuration. The first type of mangal has such advantages:

• practicality;
• Light weight;
• Compactness.

Stationary braziers with smokehouse are fundamental constructions that are built of strong and rather heavy materials. For example, such as:

• brick;
• concrete;
• a natural stone.

Note: in the correct construction of a structure, knowledge in the field of construction is necessary.

Both mobile and fixed mangal with smokehouse have certain advantages and disadvantages. Everyone chooses the best option for the cost and complexity of the structure.

Fundamental smoking mangals

As a rule, these structures are constructed of such materials:

• brick;
• Foam block;
• Shellfish.

They withstand the effects of high temperature conditions, as well as durable and reliable. Their service life is more than 30 years. The brick must be refractory. Penoblok or shell must be faced. In such works, ceramic tiles or decorative bricks are used.

The advantages of the designs include the following:

• strength;
• Multifunctionality;
• security;
• reliability.

Some braziers with a smokehouse of the fundamental type are equipped with additional tables, storage chambers, additional furnaces and many others.

Construction of basic furnaces-mangal

Initially, you must select the location in which the structure will be placed. Then a drawing is drawn up. It is necessary to take into account that in the furnace there should be such components as:

• Mangal - located at a height of not less than 80 cm from the base of the structure;
• Smokehouse - located under the barbecue (its dimensions can be varied);
• Firebox;
• Ash-bowl;
• chimney.

Note: quite often in the construction of a place for drying wood.

After the smokehouse is selected, the drawing is made, you can start building.

Stages of work

Initially, a foundation is being built. It can be ribbon or tiled. The works use concrete mortar, metal rods to strengthen the foundation and pouring from sand and gravel. The depth of the foundation depends on the dimensions of the structure. As a rule, it's enough to go 30-50 cm deep into the ground.

Once the foundation has dried, you can put a brick. Works are carried out with the help of concrete mortar, building level, spatula. A pedestal is constructed from the first three rows of material. Then all subsequent rows are placed with a displacement of half the element.

To make the structure strong, between each fifth row in the masonry insert reinforcing bars. After the brickwork is completed, proceed to further work:

• Install a grate to improve the thrust in the furnace;
• Smokehouse is faced from inside with metal sheets;
• Mounted closures, grill grill and other elements.

If you build a barbecue with smoke from foam blocks or shellfish, they are eventually lined with refractory materials.

Mobile Mangals

The easiest way to build a brazier with smokehouse from a gas cylinder. If this is not the case, use sheets that are shaped and welded together. From a gas cylinder it will be much easier to assemble a structure.

Initially, a drawing is drawn up. It is necessary to provide for the construction of such elements as:

• Smoking chamber - made of a gas cylinder, an expansion tank can be used;
• Focus - for its construction you will need a metal sheet, the thickness of which is not less than 6 mm;
• Baffle - high strength steel is used;
• Frame - made of metal corners and profile pipes (40 x 40 mm, 20 x 40 mm).

Additional structural elements:

• Shutters;
• Casters;
• Loops;
• Chimney pipe;
• Lattice.

Dimensions of smokehouse and brazier depend on the parameters of the cylinder. You can make the design as in the diagram.

Constructing a structure

First, the balloon must be cleaned of gas residues. To do this, it is enough to leave it for a certain time on the street in the open state. Then on its surface make notes, where will be located smokehouse, brazier, firebox and other elements of the structure.

Tools for works:

• welding machine;
• Metal brush;
• Sander;
• a hammer;
• pliers.

Note: Do not forget about protective equipment: mask, gloves, face shield.

The Bulgarian cut out a lid from the cylinder, which will be fixed with the help of loops. The smoking chamber is made as follows:

• A support (frame) for the construction of corners and pipes is being constructed;
• On them the rollers are fixed, if the smokehouse is mobile;
• One edge of the balloon must be cut off, it serves as a hole through which smoke will enter the smokehouse;
• Make the door of the camera.

All elements are securely fastened by welding. Once the design is ready, it is primed and painted with fire-resistant paint. After such work insert the grill in the brazier and smokehouse.

It is quite simple to make a mangal-smokehouse with our own hands, whose drawings can be made independently or borrowed from some master. It will not be superfluous to get a qualified consultation of a specialist in this field.
