Brick BBQ Step by Step Tutorial

[@willjarrett9060]

Hi Stu, you simplify the processes and allows me to pick up what your showing easily, thank you 👍

[@Lord-DJ]

Hi Stu I am watching your amazing videos with my friends here in Thailand where I now live. It has been fantastic to explain to my friends what a cavity wall is; how we use a spirit level; why, when you breathe out a cloud comes out too and its great to show off my country to its finest. Thanks to honest, English craftsmen like yourself! Makes me proud to be British. Good luck to you! David, Bangkok and West Ham United!!

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers David I was in bkk last year 👍

[@richardhumber2800]

Just watched this old vid by Stu. He doesn’t post much anymore but a heck of an artist with a trowel. Just like watching him lay brick

[@jbj5701]

looks amazing ... but am not sure what you going to do if the little grill holder broke after a year of usage with heat and weather element ? I think you need something much stronger than small wires to hold the grill .

[@SuperJimmy900]

They're wall ties mate, won't break

[@SK-xg9rs]

No matter what video You post mate, all are Pro, fantastic job, solid skill... great person + nice music... pleasure to watch 👍

[@RyanKeane9]

This video is great for someone like me with no experience. I don’t want to build a fancy dan bbq, just one that’ll stand up properly! Cheers Stu for actually showing us laymen good practice and technique that we can actually follow! Many thanks mate👍🏻👍🏻

[@stephencovert3307]

Wont that metal that holds charcoal rust and rot away couple of years.

[@andreaberryman5354]

I'm lucky to have gotten old heat-treated chimney brick-my grill would be outside so has to be insulated against heat transfer. Thanks for tutorial!

[@som3thin3lse76]

Fantastic job, one of the best bricklayer s I've ever seen, besides my mentor lol

[@davidturnbull4254]

Great Video Stu. You are a very good teacher and inspire confidence in people who maybe don’t have the ability or confidence to attempt tasks. Once again many thanks and good luck.

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers David all the best mate

[@andrewwhipp8101]

Hi Stu, thank you for sharing the processes to build BBQ area. This will assist me in my project, just like to say a big thank you!

[@jameslight24]

I wish I had trowel skills like you my friend. Looks good. Great job.

[@Judah28]

When I do mine I’ll put 3 overhangs on each side. But, wow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Amazing video.

[@MohammedAli-1]

First vid I've seen of yours, and all I can say is you live up to your title, best bricky. Cheers, I'm going to give this a go 🖒

[@drew3312]

The Mrs just cough me watching and said don't even think about it.

Good choice stu BBQ if you thinking of having a go at bricklaying I would recommend this and you get to use it too good job stu good starter challenge 👍

[@jeffclog7826]

yere good choice stu

[@rhymeandreasoning]

THAT IS SPECTACULAR. I so love your channel. GREAT STUFF.

[@markgardiner6073]

Love the indented finish on the outside mortar!

[@mackin800]

You are a master with that trowel

[@hardcorehunter7162]

Whenever you factor in the weight of the grills, and the fact that the metal will be getting hot. I really don't think those little wall hangs will stand up overtime. Maybe a few cooks, but they're going to get weak fairly quick especially if you're cooking anything heavy or doing high temp grilling.

[@GarySmith-ss1ee]

You are right I am a brick mason and have built hundreds of these not only will the Heat Ben the small little ties he put in overtime they will Rust Out and also he is using regular brick overtime the heat will deteriorate the brick and mortar

[@jamiesmith9719]

@@GarySmith-ss1ee what bricks and mortar are you supposed to use instead? My dad was an incredible bricklayer as I have been told by many people around my town who he worked with and for. The brick bbq he built is now becoming unstable as where the brackets are that hold the bbq, the mortar there has cracked and is coming away

[@GarySmith-ss1ee]

@@jamiesmith9719 overtime the heat will deteriorate the brick-and-mortar to build a BBQ Pit you should build the Firebox with firebrick and refractory mortar both were made to withstand the Heat then use regular brick-and-mortar on the outside and also instead of using metal for the rack to sit on you can step the fire brick out around the inside of the firebox so there will be no metal to warp or burn out that's the way I recommend to build it

[@stallind]

Love your channel because it's all about passing on knowledge. Simple project well executed. Love it.

[@diywooddesign1548]

I've waited nearly a year for this video!!! Time to go buy some bricks in the morning.. nice one stu!

[@castlecastle3652]

Top draw Stu as always chicken and burgers time

[@Saywhatohno]

I want to add this to my outdoor kitchen. I am wondering what is the outside temperature of the grill because I have a whole outdoor kitchen outside so I need to be careful with the temperature. Thank you

[@LiamJeffrey]

Love this Stu

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers bro

[@Борода03]

Очень ловко у вас получается и эстетично.)

[@meand3786]

Very clean simple and good work thanks 🇴🇲

[@diegopedro3708]

I would put the metal things in every section and have a gril with a safe hook. That way; you could control the temperature. You did an amazing job my friend! I subscribed.

[@jamescoleman5195]

Ideal for the beginner stu. But yet again great video

[@MeStevely]

Stu - remember a few weeks I said I made a pig’s ear out of building a BBQ? Well, it was that very one! Must have been over 30 years ago - I had no idea they were still available. Might try again this summer.

[@Stucrompton1]

Try again pal

[@Rich10000]

Excellent video mate can't wait for the next one on finishing the brickwork like jointing etc

[@redjon4233]

You are a perfectionist 👍🏻

[@bhuvanmishra13]

Love you Stu! Thanks a lot for all these videos! :) :)

[@rudetoy8264]

Enjoying the simplicity of your BBQ build. Wondering how come you don’t have a warming rack? The cooking grate and fire grate hanger are a bit flimsy which will rust after just 1.5 years of usage

[@adamgale2508]

You have gave me an idea to build a bbq in the summer thank you stu keep up the good work I really enjoy your videos :)

[@darrellmann7468]

My favourite part was where you showed in detail how to perfectly cut a brick for quarter and half bricks. Facepalm

[@veen88]

Did he? Time stamp?

[@andycarter9845]

I think that's the point, he didn't show how to.

Come on Stu, fire it up. Give us a steak cooking class. Give your DAD a segment, I bet he has some amazing cooking skills from back in the day.

[@ThereWillBePeace1]

True skill

[@vikingofengland]

I do like that pointing style, slightly inset.

[@diegopedro3708]

A round one would be cool

[@gaborzamborszky5992]

How do you set all the joints between the bricks (horizontally and vertically) to be equal in terms of thickness?

[@finnscratchley3263]

Height go up in 75s and length 225 with bed and header 👍 10mm is size bricks are 215 x 65

[@HARPZ06]

Good video Stu.....any chance you can do a video on how to make a Garden pizza oven.

[@StormW16]

Damn... that thing looks perfectly symmetrical, perfect... if I had a yard, I would try to build this for sure

[@maddog8148]

Really like this video you should do awesome video. Please do more videos like this. Question for you with the top part of the grill can you put some lime stone on top of it just to really finish it off so there’s no holes on top so no water gets inside?

[@leesapollo]

I’m 11 videos deep now. Subscribed 😅

[@mypartnerbertha4359]

[@nielsonnc]

Hello, what type of brick did you use? Can you use any type of brick?

[@Beevreeter]

We call it a Braai here in SA - Nice brickwork but may I add a couple of thoughts? The brickwork on the top looks unfinished, a nice terracotta tile capping would complete the job. Also why not tidy up the jointing on the inside too - it looks scruffy? Important to have at least two levels of support for the grille, which would allow for more control of the distance of the food from the heat as it varies. Speaking of grille supports, a grille laden with meat can get very heavy, I'm not sure those flimsy ties will provide support for very long, especially considering that they will be exposed to intense heat - And are they stainless, or they will rust to nothing in short order. And lastly, any decent braai needs to have some working surface area on either side for putting things down (like your beer) while working, and taking cooked food off onto. Cheers mate!

[@markmorrissey6685]

The only video I’ll be watching when it comes to busing my bbq 😎 🍖

[@zakirhayatzaki]

Very helpful sty beautiful job like always 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😊😊

[@romulusamy8829]

hi, what type of bricks can I use if I want to build one a bit bigger? Do you think the cheapest from b and q will do the job?

[@JoseBenitez2009]

A question. Pretend that you are learning bricking. You have finished this project, best or worst, and suppose that you don't like how it is and want to repeat. How do you demolish this one? take out brick by brick and clean the cement. ? How do you do?

[@BrumCraft]

Hi Stu, what do you use to get mortar marks of the brickface - diluted brick acid?

[@jackw9920]

Brilliant as ever. If this was for a client would you cap the top course of bricks and joint the inside too?

[@Stucrompton1]

Yes 👍👍

[@rogerbradley7509]

Love this but I have a question. How much weight will those ties hold. They don’t look very strong. Thanks!

[@argh02]

Hmm, shouldn't you use refractory bricks (or fire bricks) for the build? Or are the engineering bricks you use sufficiently fire resistant?

[@jimjam1934]

Nice one Stu, good job

[@Diddy_Doodat]

No enclosure for the fire? How would you modulate the flame? Open flame grill? Nice brick work though

[@travishildebrandt2907]

Do you have a parts list? I like the size of your grill

[@levapassolevapasso1832]

buen trabajo amigo, gracias

[@ryanmobberley496]

Which type of brick are you using ?

[@irfananjumvlogs6334]

Very beautiful work, your heart does a lot, there is no visa on articles

[@brandonnaidoo804]

How do you break the bricks to fit to size

[@jacko420oioi]

Keep doing what you do best Stu 👌

[@OffGridInvestor]

EVERYONE had these in the 1980s in Australia. Now they've demolished them all. There not quite as big on brick buildings and doing everything in brick here in Australia. Plenty of country homes are fully wood. Some of the crap ones are wood and cement fibre.

[@BogieboyChris]

You are very talented..not to mention..very handsome

[@Vectorlover3]

Hi Stu, tbh i watched this video to see how to rebuild a chimney breast. I've got to rebuild the legs and half way up. So it's 2 bricks thick so to speak and i need to get the angles right. Any advice on mortar? What ratio? do i add lime? plasticiser? SBR? I want to make it bullet proof as I only want to do it once. cheers mate

[@jasonkerr8377]

stu crompton cool thanks for replying, love your videos I’m a joiner by trade over here in Northern Ireland. I would do bits and pieces of bricklaying for my own jobs I’m no where near as good as you but I do enjoy it

[@lacihalasz]

Why ones 1 lime and the second time 1 cement in mortar with 4 sand ....what's the difference?
