An Overview Of Custom BBQ Pits

By Gary Mitchell


It is fair to say that it is great to have a BBQ with your family and friends on a beautiful sunny day. Custom bbq pits will help you to enjoy lovely food with the your family and friends. Creating a home bbq pit is a large landscape project which can challenge many people when they decide to try and do it themselves. It is however possible to do it when you have the right tools and materials and of course the knowledge.

In order to do this job correctly you will need to have a shovel, gravel, cinder lamps, mortar mix, grill top, metal braces, trowels and bricks. If you do not already have all of these items do not worry as they can be purchased for any good home improvements store.

There is a lot of planning that will need to be done and the first task is to decide where the pit is going to be placed as you will want to out it where you will be able to maximise its use. Bear in mind the location of it in terms of the house as you will not the smoke from the BBQ going into the house as this will make everything smelly.

Another very important thing that you need to consider is how big you want the pit to be and how much of your yard space will it take up. You do not want the pit to take up too much space otherwise there will not be any space left to relax and enjoy the great outdoor space. Think about this in a practical manner as once you have built the pit it would be a shame to have to remove it again because it does not work in a practical manner.

Once you have completed all of the planning then the you will need to next decide which shape you want it to be. You can have a BBQ pit which is ether square or rectangular.

The shape that you decide will be mainly based on your preference and the space that is available for the pit. Once all of the planning work has been done then you are ready to start on preparing the area. The initial job that you will need to do is to dig out a space in the ground which is about eight inches in depth and about fifty meters across. This area will need to be cleared and the surface will need to be leveled off.

The next task which you will have to do is to spread the gravel until it is about two inches thick and cover it with one layer of mortar on top of the gravel so it extends to a few inches from the edge. Use the trowel to place the combined water and mortar in the pit.

Smooth the area over whilst the mortar is still damp. Continue this process until you have built the pit up to the height which you require. A lot of the design work is really mainly down to your preferences.
